Faith-based therapy incorporates an understanding of values upheld in your spiritual practice to focus on body, soul, and mental/emotional healing.

Several of our therapists at New Leaf provide faith-based-specific counseling for individuals, couples, and families. All our therapy services are provided from an affirming and inclusive lens, prioritizing safety for all communities including LGBTQIA+ and other marginalized populations. It is our goal to support all walks of life, whether you are a person of Christian faith or otherwise.

You may find that during hard times your relationship with God or your higher power becomes complex. Many people find it difficult to immerse themselves in faith, or call upon their faith to guide them through dark times and interpersonal or mental health struggles. It may be important to you to maintain a relationship with your spirituality and/or higher power; faith-based counseling is an appropriate place to rebuild, restore, or create a spiritual understanding of yourself and your purpose.

It is important to note that although several of our therapists provide specific faith-based services, they are only implemented upon direct request. Furthermore, all of our therapists take an individualized approach to therapy sessions – all of us here at New Leaf are committed to helping you incorporate your faith and spirituality into sessions as desired, regardless of seeking faith-specific counseling. There are no preconceived notions of whether our clients would benefit from a faith-based approach, so it is important to discuss your wishes with our intake coordinator when beginning your therapeutic process.
