Christian Counselling Calgary, AB. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

Are you looking for counselling that integrates your faith? Are you struggling with the meaning and purpose of life? Meaning of suffering? Forgiveness? Moral decision-making? Peace and connectedness with God? Conflict regarding beliefs? Abuse and/or hurt from religious or spiritual influences? Recognizing the spiritual needs of clients, I can help. I have a personal faith in God and counsel in harmony with scriptural principles. My education includes counselling, nursing, biblical studies, theology and spirituality. While respecting my clients’ diverse backgrounds and expressions of faith, I use spiritual interventions that my clients are comfortable with.

As a Christian, I offer a safe and compassionate space where your spirituality is respected and valued. Having undergone my own disappointments and adversities in life, I understand how difficult it can be to maintain one's faith when troubles arise. It can be difficult to see God's plans for us when problems seem insurmountable, relationships are strained, and the future seems dark. Losses may be especially hard as we struggle with doubts and despair. We may even feel anger and disappointment in God and in our faith community. I empathize with your crisis of the heart and want to help in a manner that feels comfortable and appropriate for you.

I am a person of deep faith and spirituality. As a result, I enjoy working with people of all spiritualities, religions, and denominations. I do not identify myself with any one particular faith community. I respect your faith and likely already have a good understanding of the most important principles of it.

For many Christians the use of psychotropic medication is still unacceptable. Taking insulin or tablets for blood pressure is accepted, but taking ‘drugs’ for mental illness is often frowned upon. If you have questions about whether or not you as a Christian should take antidepressants, anti-anxiety medication, mood stabilizers, etc., Dr Mervin (Paraklesis Counselling) can come alongside you from a faith-based perspective and help you understand what these medications do, and why and when you should use them. “Honour the doctor for his services, for the Lord created him ... The Lord has created medicines from the earth, and a sensible man will not disparage them.” - Ecclesiasticus 38: 1-4

As God's creation, people reflect God's nature. Just as God has a purpose for all that he does, every one of us has been given this purposefulness for all we do. Sometimes our purposes in life need transformation. On other occasions, our reasons or motives are already a wonderful reflection of God's heart, but the approach for achieving those goals has fallen short. Our habits, practices and relationships are what need transformation. McNaughton & Associates is “change-driven.” We want to help you experience God’s transforming power in your life.

How can we address thinking and behavior, without including the soul? "Guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life." How do we deal with conflicting desires, interests, and wants? Understanding our role in God's greater story of redemption being told in the world today brings renewed strength, hope and energy. If you want a compassionate, grace-based approach to who you are and who you were meant to be, I'll journey along with you as you live out the personalized chapters of the life God has for you, and your relationship with Him will deepen. I practice caring, companionable soul care that helps you see God's presence in your life, no matter where you are in your journey.

Counseling is a opportunity to grow emotionally, psychologically and when requested, spiritually. I bring a Christian insight and perspective to counselling, that is both warm and non-judemental. This perspective transcends talk therapy as it allows us to explore your concerns, fears, worries and hopes with God and the scripture as guidance. The Lord says seek and you shall find. The same rings true for counselling and I'd be happy to help you through this process with directions, support and tools.

She was also mentored for 18 months post Masters by one of the world's leading Christian psychologists, Dr. David Benner. For therapy that is honoring of your Christian beliefs, Jennifer is a good fit.
