Finding a Christian Counselor

It’s the week before Thanksgiving and maybe you’re thinking, “I can’t do the holidays again with some of these get togethers I’ve already committed to.” You are feeling dread in your heart and stomach; the heartburn and stomach troubles you know so well. The people closest to you say, “it’s time to get some help with this, things can be different.”

You start googling for Christian counselors near me. Let’s talk about several things to consider when looking at each website.

·       Does the content on the website resonate with your pain, story and struggles?

·       Do you feel hope based on being understood, and realistic promises regarding positive changes?

·       Are you able to chat with the counselor before the first meeting to see if this is the right therapist for you?

·       For building trust, you may look at the About or Meet page and see what the person’s credentials are, where they were trained, the professional organizations they identify with.

·       On the same page look for some personal information regarding their faith and life. Read a blog or two. Do your beliefs align?

·       You may see if they are listed on a counseling directory.

·       Do they have openings that work for you on a weekly basis?

I realize that is a lot of things to consider, in addition to “what exactly do I want out of therapy?” Please call 720-577-5985 if you have questions or simply want to schedule a free 15 minute consultation. I look forward to connecting with you.
