About

People sometimes seek out “faith-based counseling” to ensure that their therapist shares their theology and worldview. We absolutely understand and respect this. Simply sharing your theological point of view does not qualify someone to bring the skills and abilities to help you with the regular run-of-the-mill life questions we all face; we believe that your therapist should also be well-versed and trained in all aspects of therapy and counseling theory and technique.

We believe that all therapy should address body, mind and spirit – and for people of faith, we know that last aspect is particularly crucial. Many Lifeologie therapists have masters degrees in Biblical studies, theology or Christian counseling. Any one of these folks will hold your faith and your challenges in the same hand, integrating solid therapy and counseling techniques with core faith-based principles.

Common Challenges

  • questions of identity
  • questions of purpose
  • relationships in a faith context
  • faith-centered parenting
  • stigma and discrimination
  • grief
  • community development

How does Lifeologie help?

Discuss your concerns with our intake specialists.

When you reach out to a Lifeologie, you’ll be connected with one of our Intake Specialists. In a “call center?” No way. Our specialists are each located in their local Lifeologie office and know the counselors well. Their entire job is to learn about you and what you’re looking for and to match you with the counselor who will be the very best fit for your needs and preferences.

Find a counselor that is passionate about helping you reach your mental health goals.

Our counselors are literally the cream of the crop. We get hundreds of applications every year to intern and work at our offices. Lifeologists are counselors, life coaches and overall wellness advocates who are experts and specialists in their craft. At the intern level, they have set themselves apart as incredible learners and collaborators, chasing after the highest-level trainings in the field. From EMDR to nutrition coaching to brain spotting and addiction specialists, we have you covered. Once you enter a Lifeologie office, you’ll find that we’ve carefully curated the environment to feel modern, comfortable and inviting. Counseling at Lifeologie is not your typical counseling experience – in any way.

Your counselor at Lifeologie will meet you wherever you are, whether you’re just starting in counseling for the first time ever… or returning to a life-long counseling journey after a brief break. Your Lifeologist will partner with you to meet your goals.
