But, if you\u2019re strong in your faith\u2014or you want to become stronger by integrating aspects of it into your treatment\u2014it\u2019s a wonderful option that can make you feel more comfortable than in a secular setting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what can you really expect from Christian-based counseling?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Wide Range of Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/spiritual-health-.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/spiritual-health--300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/spiritual-health--16x12.jpg 16w\" decoding=\"async\"   data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/spiritual-health-.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3473 lazyload\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/spiritual-health-.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/spiritual-health-.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/spiritual-health--300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/spiritual-health--16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most Christian counseling services pull from a variety of different techniques and materials, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The difference between this type of counseling and secular counterparts is that Christian counselors look at the spiritual aspect of what you might be struggling with, not just the mental health concerns. By looking at you as a whole individual and using everything from psychological techniques to prayer, every part of your inner being is being cared for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From scripture to self-auditing, you can expect a variety of therapeutic skills to be used in this type of counseling, designed to strengthen your relationship with God while finding peace from whatever may plague you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Road to Spiritual Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many Christian counselors believe that mental health issues like anxiety and depression have a deeper link to your spiritual health. Spiritual health refers to things like:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Faith.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Faith-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Faith-16x12.jpg 16w\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"   data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Faith.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3472 lazyload\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Faith.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Faith.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Faith-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Faith-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Self-care<\/li><li>Forgiveness<\/li><li>Caring for others without expectation<\/li><li>Empathy<\/li><li>The ability to spread joy<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you find yourself lacking any of those things? Ironically enough, they are common problems for those dealing with mental health issues. When you\u2019re depressed, for example, it\u2019s hard to want to take care of yourself, even though self-care is one of the best things to combat symptoms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you\u2019re anxious, it can be difficult to be empathetic because you\u2019re so consumed by your own fears and worries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mental health issues tend to feel all-consuming, at times. They could keep you from being the person you\u2019re called to be. They could also be major roadblocks on your spiritual journey.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, mental health and spiritual health are more closely related than most people think. If you consider yourself to be a spiritual person, going to a Christian-based counselor can help you work on techniques that will strengthen you in both areas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Should You Look For in a Christian-Based Counselor?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Behavioral-Cognitive-Therapy.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Behavioral-Cognitive-Therapy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Behavioral-Cognitive-Therapy-16x12.jpg 16w\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"   data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Behavioral-Cognitive-Therapy.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3474 lazyload\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Behavioral-Cognitive-Therapy.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Behavioral-Cognitive-Therapy.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Behavioral-Cognitive-Therapy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Behavioral-Cognitive-Therapy-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, not all Christian counselors are the same. Like anything else, it\u2019s important to take your time and do the right research to find the right fit for your needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good Christian counselor should obviously have the proper credentials. Proper training and experience is important. But, they should also align with your spiritual beliefs, or you may not get the most out of your sessions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t be afraid to connect with a counselor for a session or two to see if you \u201cclick\u201d. Your comfort level is important because it will allow you to open up more. The more willing you are to be vulnerable, the easier it will be for your counselor to help. Having a good counselor\/patient relationship is crucial.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re interested in learning more about Christian-based counseling or want to set up an appointment, please feel free to contact me. Together, we can set up an appointment and talk more about your goals for your spiritual journey, as well as any mental health struggles you might be dealing with. You don\u2019t have to be trapped by them forever, and strengthening your spirituality can help you see that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to Expect from
