Faith-Integrated Therapy
For those who want their faith to be part of the healing journey—not separate from it.
When Faith Matters
You've tried praying. You've read scripture. Maybe you've talked to your pastor. And perhaps that's helped—but you're still struggling. Now there's guilt on top of the pain, wondering if you lack faith.
Here's what's true: seeking therapy isn't a failure of faith. It's wisdom. God designed us for relationship and healing often happens in connection with others.
Faith-integrated therapy brings your spiritual life into the therapeutic process—not as a replacement for evidence-based approaches, but alongside them.
What Faith Integration Looks Like
Faith integration is collaborative and client-led. We meet you where you are spiritually, incorporating elements that feel meaningful to you.
Prayer
Beginning or ending sessions with prayer, or praying through difficult moments as they arise.
Scripture
Exploring passages that speak to what you're facing, finding comfort and perspective.
Spiritual Perspective
Understanding your struggles through a lens that includes your faith and God's presence.
Faith-Based Resources
Books, devotionals, and practices that align with your spiritual life.
Still Evidence-Based
Faith integration doesn't mean abandoning proven therapeutic approaches. We use the same evidence-based methods—Emotionally Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and others—while honouring your spiritual framework.
Think of it as both/and, not either/or. The research-backed techniques that help rewire thought patterns and heal attachment wounds work alongside the spiritual resources that bring meaning, hope, and connection to something greater.
Common Questions
Do I have to include faith in my therapy?
Not at all. Faith integration is entirely optional. Many clients prefer secular therapy, and that's completely respected. We discuss your preferences during the initial consultation.
What denomination do you work with?
We work with clients from various Christian backgrounds. The focus is on your personal faith and relationship with God, not denominational specifics.
What if I'm questioning my faith?
Faith and doubt can coexist. If you're wrestling with spiritual questions, that's welcome here. Therapy can be a space to explore those struggles honestly.
Is this like pastoral counselling?
No. While we integrate faith, this is still professional psychotherapy with a registered therapist. We're trained in mental health treatment, not pastoral care—though both have value.
