Benefits of Seeing a Christian Counselor in Minnesota

The Unique Approach of a Christian Counselor

As a Christian, I believe that our worldview, the foundation of our beliefs, affects every part of our lives. God tells us to write His word upon our hearts (Proverbs 3:3), for everything we do flows from it (the heart) (Proverbs 4:3). When working on matters of the heart and mind going to a therapist can be such a help, but if their world view is not Christian then what are they counseling from? It’s our worldview that we flow from so choosing a Christian therapist with a Biblical worldview is paramount to working on our heart.

That’s what a Christian counselor does, help you with mental health disorders from the foundation that the Bible and what it says, the written word of God, is our foundation. Plus, utilizing evidence-based perspective through that same Christian worldview lens. I ask the question of how these techniques align with the Bible and what God says.

For instance, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) aligns well with the Bible. Not only does it address our belief systems but it allows us to understand how our beliefs affect our day-to-day life. Jesus talked a lot about our faith. Hebrews 11:1, : Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Here we see that our faith, is trusting in God’s promises and character. When we find the root of where the untrust lies, through CBT, we can then make progress to align ourselves to the truth God has for us.

Ultimately, whether I see a Christian client or a non-believer I work from the perspective that all people are created by God and have inherent value. I respect the person that God has created and strive to understand them and their point of view while working on helping each client become closer to who God has created them to be. My foundational belief in God’s word and who God is is brought into every session.

The Importance of Aligning Mental Health with Spiritual Beliefs

Going to a therapist who doesn’t understand the inherent value of God’s most precious creation, can be a detriment. They are seeking to help you be your best but without the Biblical foundation and respect for God, they can only go off of what the world’s best is. There isn’t the ability to go deeper into your divine purpose, support of Papa God, wisdom, and truth of Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

This can often cause tension or discomfort, making it hard to fully engage in the therapeutic process. I’ve sat in staff meetings as counselors wrestled with their beliefs versus the spiritual beliefs of their clients. Trying to be respectful, but again their worldview is completely different.

Having a therapist who can offer faith-based guidance is important to not only your mental health growth but your spiritual growth as well. It ensures that the therapist is ultimately grounded on the rock of salvation and being directed by the most high God!

Finding the Right Christian Counselor in Minnesota

Finding the right Christian therapist in Minnesota can seem daunting. In comparison to other therapists out there, there are far fewer therapists who have the conviction and education to do Christian Counseling. Reading the blogs, looking at websites, and asking around can be a start to seeing if you can connect with a particular Christian counselor that you’ve found.

It’s so important to research to find a Counselor’s background, approach, and compatibility with your faith. Where were they trained? Ultimately, do you feel the Lord is leading you to this person? These are all important questions to ask.
I encourage you to take the step to seek out a Christian therapist who can guide you through your mental health journey while staying true to your spiritual beliefs.
