Faithful Counseling

Faithful Counseling provides affordable access to high-quality mental healthcare from dedicated Christian believers. It brings therapy into your life on your terms through direct messaging, phone, and video chats with licensed professionals.


By combining Biblical wisdom with clinical expertise in mental health, our counselors do their best to invite God into the conversation while formulating actionable plans to best address the unique challenges their clients face. Our goal is to holistically improve clients’ well-being, so that they may become mentally, emotionally, and spiritually well.

In order to provide the best experience possible, our unique online platform holds several benefits over traditional face-to-face therapy. On Faithful Counseling, you have access to your counselor through scheduled video sessions and phone calls, plus unlimited messaging with your counselor at any time. Users may connect via a computer, tablet or smartphone, or any combination thereof.

We operate as a monthly subscription service, providing access to counseling at rates far more affordable than those of in-person session-based counseling.


*** WHO ARE THE COUNSELORS? ***

The 150+ counselors of Faithful Counseling are a group of practicing Christians that are part of the larger network of licensed counselors operating on the Betterhelp platform, sharing the same high standards of clinical experience.
All counselors are licensed, trained, experienced, and accredited psychologists (PhD / PsyD), marriage and family therapists (LMFT), clinical social workers (LCSW / LMSW), or licensed professional counselors (LPC). All have a Masters or Doctorate Degree in their field. They have been qualified and certified by their state's professional board after successfully completing the necessary education, exams, training, and practice. While their experience, expertise, and background vary, they all possess at least 3 years and 2,000 hours of experience.
Additionally, every counselor has self-identified as a practicing Christian, shared their testimony with us prior to joining the platform, and has verified that their beliefs align with our Statement of Faith.

*** HOW DOES IT WORK? ***

You and your counselor will be given a dedicated virtual "room", which will be your private and secure way of communicating. This room is open 24/7. You can enter it at any time, from any Internet-connected device wherever your are. In this room, you will write about yourself and the things going on in your life, ask questions and discuss the issues that trouble you. Your counselor will log in to the same room, read your messages, and respond with feedback, insights, and guidance. Your counselor will help you understand the circumstances that hold you back as they prepare you to move forward. This ongoing one-on-one dialog is the basis of your work with your counselor. You may also have phone or video based sessions with your counselor, facilitated through this app. Together you will build towards making a positive change in your life and accomplishing your goals.

*** HOW MANY SESSIONS CAN I HAVE? ***

You are not limited in the number of messages ("sessions") you can have with your counselor. The frequency of your sessions would vary based on your availability, and the interaction between you and your counselor. For example, some people have 3-4 short interactions every week, while others prefer to have one very long and thorough session. You may use the service extensively during time of need and use it sparsely at other times. Your counselor would try to accommodate your changing needs in a timely manner.

*** HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? ***

Unlike typical in-person therapy which can cost as much as $150 per weekly session, Faithful Counseling offers a more comprehensive full-time counseling service at the rate of $35 to $65 per week of service, billed on a monthly subscription basis with the option to cancel at any point.
