Therapy for Christians
A place where faith and healing meet.
Rooted in hope. Guided by faith. Focused on you.
What makes Christian or Faith Based Therapy Different?
Christian therapy integrates evidenced based counseling approaches with principles and values based in biblical truths. It takes a holistic approach by considering emotional, mental and spiritual well-being together. In therapy, we will use clinical therapeutic tools while still leaving space for prayer, Scripture and faith based beliefs when appropriate and desired by you.
Christian Therapy is for you if…
Your faith is an important part of your life.
You desire prayer and spiritual meditations as a part of your healing journey.
You want a therapist who shares your Christian values and perspective.
Hi, I’m Kandis!
I’m a Licensed Masters Social Worker (LMSW) who also holds Christian values and believes that faith belongs in the healing journey.
For those who want it, I can integrate prayer and biblical truths into the counseling process. If you prefer a more secular approach, I honor that too - our work together will always reflect your needs and values.
“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”
Isiah 43:19 (NIV)

No. Christian therapy is never about pressure or judgement. Your therapist’s role is to support your healing, goals and values - not to impose beliefs.

A session looks very similar to traditional therapy, including talking through concerns, developing coping skills and setting goals. I may prompt you with a scripture verse that applies to your situation or invite you to participate in a brief prayer or spiritual meditation. You always have the option to decline or otherwise adjust the use of your spirituality in our sessions.
