Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve answered some of the most common questions about christian counseling below to help you feel more informed and confident as you begin your journey with us.
What is Christian counseling?

Christian counseling combines professional mental health treatment with an openness to incorporating Christian faith and values into therapy. Like other forms of counseling, treatment focuses on your emotional, relational, and mental health needs, while giving you the opportunity to include your faith as part of the therapeutic process.

How is Christian counseling different from traditional therapy?

Both can use established therapeutic approaches to address mental health and relationship concerns. Christian counseling also intentionally creates space for your faith, beliefs, values, and spiritual experiences to be part of therapy when you want them to be.

Do I need to be a certain denomination to receive Christian counseling?

No. You don’t need to belong to a particular church or denomination. Our goal is to understand and respect your individual beliefs rather than assume that every Christian approaches faith in the same way.

Will my therapist pray with me or use Scripture during counseling?

Prayer, Scripture, and conversations about faith may be incorporated when they are meaningful to you and appropriate to your treatment. Christian counseling should be collaborative, so you can talk with your therapist about how muchβ€”or how littleβ€”you want spiritual practices incorporated into your sessions.

Can Christian counseling help with anxiety, depression, or trauma?

Yes. Christian counseling can address many of the same mental health concerns as other forms of therapy, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress, and relationship difficulties. Faith can be incorporated alongside appropriate therapeutic approaches based on your needs and goals.

Does Safe Harbor offer Christian marriage and couples counseling?

Yes. Christian couples counseling can help address communication difficulties, conflict, trust, intimacy, major life changes, and other relationship concerns while incorporating the couple’s shared faith and values when desired.

Does insurance cover Christian counseling?

Many insurance plans cover outpatient mental health therapy when services meet the plan’s requirements for covered behavioral healthcare. Coverage, copays, deductibles, and participating providers vary, so benefits should be verified for your specific plan.

What is faith-informed vs faith-imposed?

Your faith is personal, and your counseling should reflect that. Our Christian counselors seek to understand your beliefs and how you would like faith incorporated into treatment. Faith can be an important part of counseling without replacing professional mental health care or being imposed on you.
