Finding a Christian Counselor

It is the first day of autumn, the autumn equinox, when the sun is directly over the equator and the northern hemisphere begins to tilt away from the sun. Time for another blog.

Let’s talk about several things to consider as you are googling Christian Counselors and looking at websites.

• 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 reputable counseling directories such as PsychToday, Christian Counseling Directory or Theravive.

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