What is a Christian Therapist?

As a Christian therapist I embrace God at the center of my work and I understand the amazing healing power of prayer.  I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) who has all of the same core training as any MFT which includes a Master's Level degree in Counseling Psychology, 3000 internship hours working with children, adolescents, families and marriages; In addition I have another 2000 internship hours working in Christian Behavioral Health Facilities.  I have taken and passed the State Exam and I am monitored by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences.

Most importantly, I am a Christian who maintains an active prayer life for myself, my family, friends and my clients. I facilitate Christian-based trainings and support groups, and am an active member and ministry leader at my church.  Counseling for me is a vocation, it is what God called me to do.
