Therapy for a Faith Crisis
Questioning your deepest beliefs is harrowing.
A faith crisis is something that you just have to experience to truly understand. You’re facing something that goes against your core beliefs and hopes, and it just doesn’t jibe with where you were before. You feel a kind of despair that words don’t seem to be good enough for.
This challenges your identity, and it’s something that you want to solve. Whether you pulled toward staying true to what you believed before but can’t see how to do that, whether you feel like what you believe is true for others but you’re somehow different (and only for the worse), or whether you feel like your only choice is to abandon your past, I’ll help you work through it and come out on top.
Therapy for a faith crisis is specialized.
You have unique challenges and concerns that other people don’t. Here are just a few unique things that you might be facing:
- Wondering whether you can ever feel whole again
- Feeling like you’ve done something terrible to deserve this
- Questioning whether there is a God or other higher power, or whether deity cares about you at all
- Worrying about how to handle family, friends, or other parts of your life that are tied to this
- Fearing that you’ve been wrong all along
And that list is far from comprehensive. A faith crisis cuts to your very core, and it can be very hard to find someone who can truly help you. Your faith is tied to so many parts of your life that it’s not merely a question of fact—this impacts so much more. All of this means you benefit that much more from therapy for faith crisis, with someone who has been through them.
You don't have to be at a loss anymore.
Reach out and I’ll work with you to get through this, focusing directly on you and your needs. I’m right there in the middle of it with you, and my approach to therapy for a faith crisis is designed with you in mind.
We’ll talk about exactly what’s going on and how it impacts your life. I will offer help that can lead to you coming through this feeling whole again, or at the very least feeling like you have a handle on it. Together we’ll set up a plan for the future and you’ll learn ways to tackle this and face your demons head-on.
I base my approach to this on pastoral care techniques and talk therapy. I studied as a chaplain (someone who works with spiritual health in the way that a counselor works with mental health), and I will be there with you as you learn to integrate this experience into your beliefs.
