Christian or Jewish counseling integrates religious faith into the therapeutic process, providing a unique source of comfort, guidance, and strength to individuals of these faiths. These counselors use traditional therapeutic techniques while also considering the client's spiritual beliefs and values. They can help clients navigate life challenges, mental health issues, and spiritual concerns, offering a space where scripture or religious teachings might be explored alongside psychological insights. This approach can foster deeper self-understanding, enhance spiritual growth, and provide a holistic path to healing and well-being, respecting and integrating clients' religious beliefs througho

Yes, it is true we carry God with us, but we also need to carry a developed Self in order to have the curiosity and discipline to carry out what we believe to be God's wishes. With a stronger Self we also can differentiate our own wishes and needs. We can identify and delineate one feeling from the other. This is vital as our feelings serve as emissaries of our needs. To be a "good Christian" or a "good Jew, you must first understand what it takes to make an even better YOU. That is where I enter the picture.

Having a religious philosophy can benefit clients with these views. Worldview and Philosophy are powerful inner beliefs that clients possess. Chris has worked with many clients with Christian beliefs by respecting beliefs and integrating this into powerful and solutions oriented counseling. For example...." He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her" - A Bible quote that offers a viewpoint can be merged into good counseling. The quote talks about looking at ourselves before we judge others. The concept can be identified as lets look at ourselves before we blame others. This works well in individual or couples therapy to have clients look at their own motivations.

Faith and spirituality can provide comfort and meaning to those guided by their beliefs. I was raised in a Christian household myself so I have an appreciation for the values instilled by religion, the importance of tradition, and the strength of community. My approach to counseling is humanistic and welcoming of all spiritualities. Though I do not incorporate any specific pastoral counsel, I encourage my spiritual clients to draw on their beliefs during the counseling process.

Truth. There are many paths to the Truth and different Faiths that guide people on that meaningful journey. I have enormous respect for seeking the truth and finding your faith to guide you. Your values, morals, and ethics are your code to happy, healthy living. Living in line with these brings joy and contentment...always. Living OUT of line with these qualities brings distress. Explore where and how you can live more in-line with your value system and how your faith is a secure and loving nest to fall into as you do.

At a time when Christianity is often attacked, it is difficult to find a place where individual and family conflicts can be worked through in counseling that is supportive of Christian beliefs. I was raised as a Christian and can understand and empathize with those who practice a Christian way of life, as well as a conservative view of life. I also understand how at times religious beliefs can come into conflict with personal strivings and need to be resolved. Mental health comes when one's religious beliefs and one's life are in harmony and one can live free of anxiety and doubt.

I practice of form of therapy that is consistent with Judeo-Christian values. I was raised as a Catholic and understand the philosophy and tenets of Catholicism. I teach patients to fully accept themselves and others but to address misbehavior in themselves and others. This is consistent with the biblical phrase "Condemn the sin but love the sinner."

I am an Ordained Minister in the Christian tradition and a Licensed Psychoanalyst. I will not dismiss your spiritual life, and at the same time will provide sound psychotherapeutic support.

Being a Christian certainly does not keep us from experiencing hard times, emotional struggles, illnesses, or relationship pain. My goal is to help you navigate whatever challenges you may be experiencing, either individually or as a couple, in a way that strengthens your faith and reminds you of the purpose God has for your life. While it can be incredibly hard to walk as a Christian in the world today, it is my belief that God will make a way.
