Christian Counseling Services

Expert faith-based therapists in Kansas and Missouri

Our Faith-based Licensed Counselors believe in a profound connection between mental, emotional, and spiritual health. They see issues of shame, guilt, and self-doubt as spiritual issues that require faith-based exploration. By combining evidence-based therapy modalities with a Biblical worldview, our Christian counselors are able to integrate Christian beliefs, principles, and practices into your therapeutic experience. 

We are pleased to offer Christian counseling services to all age groups including children, adolescents, teens, adults, couples, and families.

Our Christian counseling services may be especially beneficial for you if…

  • You want to benefit from therapy while honoring your faith.
  • You would prefer to have a counselor who understands your Biblical worldview.
  • You believe part of your mental health concerns are spiritual in nature and want a Christian therapist to help you resolve emotional pain.
  • You want to include faith-based practices such as prayer and scripture references in
your therapy session.

The Unique Goal of Christian Counseling

The purpose of Christian counseling is similar to other forms of traditional therapy in that the focus is on helping you heal and grow through emotional pain. However, there are a few key differences. While our Faith-based Licensed Counselors are expertly trained in the same popular modalities as our other counselors, they approach mental health care and counseling with a Christian worldview based on Biblical principles.

These are the three key differences between Christian counseling & traditional therapy

The role of prayer and faith

Since your counselor acknowledges God as the ultimate Healer and Counselor, prayer and scripture may be included, if you desire, in your session to invite spiritual healing and growth.

The mind, body, and spirit connection

Our Christian counselors address mental health and wellness challenges through a spiritual lens. This means they take a Christian perspective within a non-judgmental framework when working with issues such as addiction, marital challenges, grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, identity issues, etc. 

Your personal relationship with God

Christian counseling encourages clients to grow in their relationship with God, deepen their faith, and cultivate spiritual peace as they heal.

Important Facts About Christian Counseling

  • Christian counseling strictly adheres to the same ethical standards of traditional talk therapy. 
Your privacy is guaranteed, and we honor doctor-patient confidentiality.
  • Christian counseling is not just for Christians, and you do not need to be a Christian to participate and benefit from faith-based therapy sessions. If you are curious to explore spirituality in your healing journey, we would be happy to connect you with one of our licensed Christian therapists.
  • Christian counseling is serious therapy. Yes, prayer and scripture quoting may play a role, but you’ll do much more than that. Faith-based therapy is professional therapy – the only difference is that our Christian counselors include faith-based principles with evidence-based therapeutic practices.

You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory.
