A clinical guide for Christian clients navigating therapy, whether your therapist is a believer or not.
Most Christian clients I work with have been trying to choose between two bad options. A secular therapist who ignores their faith, or a Christian counselor who may not have the clinical training for what they actually need.
Nobody told them there was a third option.
This guide walks through what faith-integrated therapy actually is, how it differs from Christian counseling, and how to vet any therapist for how they hold faith in the work.
What's inside:
What faith-integrated therapy actually is
How it differs from Christian counseling
Six specific questions to ask any therapist about how they hold faith
Red flags in both secular and Christian settings
How to have the faith conversation without feeling awkward
Where to go from here
