Episode 32 // Counseling can raise a lot of questions for us. Should Christians go to counseling? What is a life coach? Is therapy the same thing as counseling? Do I need counseling? How do I find a great therapist?

We are tackling these questions in a two-part series with the goal of building your comfort and confidence in thinking about the counseling process. I am a licensed therapist and I’m excited to dive into these questions with you! 

Today is part 1 and we are looking at when counseling may be helpful for you, the different types of professionals available, and how Christians should think about counseling. In part 2, we will look at my recommendations for how to find a great counselor as well as discuss what to expect if you are starting counseling.

Let’s dive in, friend.
