Next Step
How do you find a “good” Christian counselor? There are several factors worthy of your consideration and we list them below for your convenience. Call them. Check out their website and look for their statement of belief, credentials, experience and testimonials among other factors.
Some minimal qualifying questions to be answered include:
- What are their areas of expertise? Do they have a track record helping people with issues similar to yours?
- What are their religious beliefs in general? Ask for a statement of faith. If you have a denominational preference then you can certainly start in that area. However, do not limit yourself if you do not have a strong preference or are open to new possibilities.
- Are they under a church covering (which will typically tell you about their beliefs) or are they a stand-alone entity. Beware of lone rangers: individuals that are not part of a Center or under a church covering. You really do not know what you are getting or getting into.
- What do they believe about the present day power and ministry of God? I contend that you want to find a counselor who believes that God still moves in healing and deliverance.
- How long have they been counseling and what are their credentials?
- What are the fees? If you can get competent, Christian counseling for free from your church or pastor you should do it. However, you may need professional help from someone with a Christian counseling degree and licensing so be prepared to pay. Your brother-in-law might be able to do some repairs on your car but he can also cause greater problems if he gets in beyond his level of expertise. The same can be said when choosing a counselor!
