What Is Faith-Based Therapy?
Faith-based therapy is a specialized approach to counseling that integrates an individual’s spiritual beliefs and practices into the therapeutic process. Many people find comfort, hope, and resilience through their faith traditions. By weaving these values into evidence-based therapeutic frameworks, we help you achieve emotional, mental, and spiritual growth in a way that feels most authentic to you.

How We Integrate Faith into Counseling
At Wholesome Psychology, our faith-based therapists collaborate with you to weave spiritual practices, scripture, prayer, and values into your mental health journey. Our approach is grounded in clinically proven techniques (such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness) while gently uplifting the spiritual resources that matter to you.
We never impose a specific set of beliefs or practices. Your faith, spirituality, and boundaries lead the way. Some clients wish to integrate prayer or scripture into sessions, while others prefer to explore meaning, purpose, and identity through a spiritual lens. We tailor every session to match your comfort and goals. If you're interested in mindfulness therapy, we can include these approaches in your care plan.
