Christian Counseling
Are you experiencing a faith crisis? Has (or does) religion played a significant role in your life? Do you need a therapy experience that integrates your beliefs, spirituality, and life journey?
You’ve come to the right place!
My name is Melonie Pinder, and I provide Christian Counseling for people who are specifically looking for a therapist that can bring faith into the room. Of course, I only integrate faith with counseling when asked, and I respect the wishes of clients who prefer not to discuss religion or spirituality in session.
I believe that each of us is on a faith journey – and what better place to journey together than through psychotherapy? If you are interested or ready to sign up for your first session, contact me today.
What is Christian Counseling?
Christian Counseling is a specific type of therapy that integrates your religious beliefs, sense of spirituality, and therapeutic goals.
Therapists who practice Christian Counseling must be qualified, licensed, and culturally competent in faith-based issues. Some clients request prayer as part of therapy, for example, while others might focus on rebuilding their religious identity.
Some common examples of issues addressed and explored through Christian Counseling might include:
If you or a loved one are struggling and would like to give Christian Counseling a try, contact me today! I offer online and in-person therapy services, and I would love to meet you.
How does Pinder Counseling do Christian Counseling?
If you read my story in Voyage MIA, then you have a sense of how significant faith has been in my life. I provide Christian Counseling because I believe in the healing power of relationships, and faith can serve as a major boon towards your progress.
First, I gather an understanding of your core beliefs and values. What matters most to you? What do you believe in? What gives you hope? Your beliefs are welcomed, not challenged. I believe that your faith should serve as a guide to help you solve and overcome whatever hardship life has thrown your way.
In addition to Christian Counseling and other faith-based techniques, I also utilize techniques from Humanistic psychotherapy as well as CBT, Reality Therapy, and Person-Centered to address symptoms that may complicate your struggles – such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. Together, we can help you train your mind and body to adapt and overcome through reframing, positive coping, and empowerment. My job is to work myself out of a job – and so I do my best to provide you with the help you need as quickly and effectively as possible.
I created Pinder Counseling because I believe each person deserves a chance to be their best self and live their best life.
Together, we can make that happen.
