What is Faith Based Therapy and Who Should Seek It?
In many therapeutic settings the process begins with a free 15 or 20 minute consultation to help determine if there is a good fit between the therapist and the client. During this process, the client searches for a therapist who they might be able to relate to and who may specialize in their specific need. Simultaneously, the potential therapist determines if they have the capacity and competence to be able to provide effective treatment. Some clients may search for clients who specialize in a certain mental health issue or who may identify with a certain demographic that a client is looking for. Among the many different demographic group types, faith based therapy has become a high demand for a growing number of clients.
So, What is Faith Based Therapy?
Faith Based therapy is a therapeutic relationship that utilizes evidence based practices and clinical techniques from a mental health professional who shares, or at least understands without judgment, the faith of their client. This type of therapy is likely to be of interest to people for whom spirituality or religion play a major role in their lives, and who lean into their faith-based values to help them make healthier decisions, understand suffering, set priorities and to create purpose and meaning in their lives.
Who should seek faith-based therapy?
If your approach to life is influenced by your spiritual beliefs and/or religious principles, then faith based therapy may be right for you. Whether you are an individual seeking healing from depression, a couple struggling with relationship issues or maybe even a family dealing with parenting issues, you can benefit from faith based therapy.
Finding healing for your mental and spiritual health through faith based therapy is apart of one’s overall well-being.
