The truth in the bible helps us to move towards freedom in our lives. I incorporate biblical principles, scripture memorization and prayer as long as you find it to be a comfort. No preaching... Understanding the promises that God gives us helps to identify peace and connection with Him, and to truly feel the freedom that He provides. Ephesians 3:20 (NLT) Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Many people struggle with their faith or struggle with a hurtful event that happened to them in their church. It is very meaningful to work through these events. My specialty is Panic Disorder and this causes much guilt in my Christian clients because they feel they "should" be able to "faith" their way out of it. As a fellow Christian, I feel I can help you deal with your faith issues, and it is not just because you do not have enough faith. Please use your faith, but there is also help.

It is important to integrate your thoughts, beliefs, emotions and values in order to achieve a sense of well being. When one of those gets out of alignment it can create great internal conflict and even a spiritual crisis. The focus of therapy is primarily about your relationships and emotional life, however, if you choose to explore it, we will also consider the role your faith plays in who you are.

Cornerstone to many people is the power of their faith, the power of their spiritual practices and the teachings of their fellowship. Integrating the tools of your faith, your spiritual practices and the teachings you embrace helps your counseling sessions become even more healing and effective. Very commonly, faith, a spiritual practice and belief helps people with grief, guilt, hopelessness, depression, anxiety, stress, worry even anger. Life often is more meaningful and purposefully when the skills and remedies of psychotherapy also blend or integrate the power and guidance which spiritual teachings offer individuals, families and parents.

Faith based therapy brings Christian values into indivual, couples and family therapy. I am with the Episcopal Church Holy Nativity in Westchester. Reverend Peter Rood presides over the congregation. I believe in a loving God who created man in his image. I believe love, peace, acceptance and tolerance are essential qualities for any Christian to embrace and we will discuss the importance of these values in daily life, especially in relationships and marriage. Christ forgives. Forgiveness is essential to anger issues, family cutoffs, marital infidelity, children who act out, or are oppositional and defiant. A strong marital unit with faith in God is essential to effective parenting.

I hold a masters degree in psychology from Fuller Theological Seminary and am committed to the integration of faith and psychology. I, however, do not provide pastoral counseling. I am committed to walking with individuals and couples in any stage of their faith journey, believers and non-believers alike, to facilitate a process of authentic self-discovery and freedom. I am interested in how your faith has informed who you are what you are wrestling with today. The whole range of human emotions, longings and desires are validated and explored in my practice in order to participate fully in the journey of healing.

I am a Christian therapist and I am more than happy to integrate Bible-based counseling with the traditional therapy process. For the Christian individual or couple, we can explore how your faith in Christ impacts your goals and decisions, whether or not you are drawing upon your faith as a resource, and what the Bible says about your concerns. Christian therapy is different than pastoral counseling or lay counseling. My educational degrees, training, and years practicing psychotherapy are combined with Biblical principles to assist you in your path to healing.

Every therapist at La Vie is a Christian and many of our therapists have advanced degrees in Theology and have spent years integrating the best of psychological research with sound Christian principles. We affirm the importance of faith in living healthy lives and welcome open conversations about this in therapy. Our approach to counseling from a Christian perspective has been so well received that Dr. Baker's book, "Jesus the Greatest Therapist Who Ever Lived" has sold over a million copies worldwide.

When we are hurting, we often seek Christ, our primary Healer, last. We helplessly flounder, grasping for healing via harmful people or things, when His healing is as close as His Word. Alas, we fail to tap into that power. My goal is to help you tap into that power. The same power that resurrected Christ from the dead dwells in us as believers, yet we fail to utilize that God-given power in our lives. Often it takes someone who has studied the Bible well to help you navigate its healing power. I am that person for you.

Are you struggling with your faith? Perhaps you are experiencing guilt or fear related to your spiritual beliefs? Are you having trouble reconciling distressful emotions or experiences with your Christian faith? Or maybe you desire a safe space to process your issues in light of your faith. As a graduate of Fuller Theological Seminary I am trained in integrating faith and psychology. I do not offer pastoral counseling nor do I impose bible scriptures in session. I work with all faith traditions and am committed to meeting you where you are on your faith journey and providing you with tools to facilitate personal growth that is reflective of the values you hold dear.

Clients will be able to work through faith or spiritual crisis through Biblical or Christian counseling. My hope is that client will experience a changed relationship with God and be able to connect with Him in a new way through therapy. My heart is that clients can experience healing and restoration in the life events that distress them through counseling.

Some persons are concerned that couples counseling or psychotherapy may challenge their faith and they want to work with someone who supports, understands and even shares the importance of faith. Dr. Brainerd also holds a Masters degree in Christian Theology along with his doctorate in Clinical Psychology and not only values faith but can also help with persons who have found that sometime in their life, religion has hurt them.
