The best way to find a therapist is through a referral from a trusted friend who has had a good therapeutic experience themselves. Often, pastors and other community leaders will know a few therapists to whom they refer clients (often based on multiple good reports). Additionally, many churches have funds to help attendees pay for a fixed number of therapy sessions; if you attend a church somewhat regularly, it may be worth reaching out to a pastor or staff person there. In any case, we only recommend licensed therapists with at least a master’s degree in psychology. Although there is no national (or international) database for the type of therapist who is ideal for a deconstructing Christian, we think we have a pretty good work-around. PsychologyToday.com is the most extensive directory of licensed therapists in the US. With the PsychologyToday search tool, you can search by zip code, specific insurance companies, and even select “Christian” in the Religion category and/or “Spirituality” in the Issues category. You can also email a prospective therapist and ask if they have any experience working through religious issues, and if not, if they have colleagues they might refer you to with more experience in that area. For therapists who identify as Christians themselves, it might be helpful to ask them in an email how specifically they integrate their faith into their therapeutic practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5cb3a7e6333396b0fd63b/1597336294880-BFHFE456STJJZP1AZSDK/janko-ferlic-Q1zMXEI9V8g-unsplash+copy.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5cb3a7e6333396b0fd63b/1592980060241-6VHHF79SDVJEMTGK5R3M/ali-yahya-xipQ22R5HpY-unsplash%2Bcopy.jpg https://www.soyouredeconstructing.com/about daily 0.75 2024-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5cb3a7e6333396b0fd63b/1592979991977-MAL61XMYZ0XHFBTWZ28A/dingzeyu-li-ie8WW5KUx3o-unsplash+copy.jpg About https://www.soyouredeconstructing.com/testimonies daily 0.75 2020-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5cb3a7e6333396b0fd63b/1593062624883-OZ1Z0QC1SFUAF43Y9EO5/denis-harschi-umj2W38UOmc-unsplash+copy.jpg Testimonies https://www.soyouredeconstructing.com/communities daily 0.75 2024-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5cb3a7e6333396b0fd63b/1594701144752-6PDQGPPQKYJ8KSVEFDPL/comm3-hannah-busing-WG6iLHfMY9Y-unsplash%2Bcopy.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5cb3a7e6333396b0fd63b/1592973908933-DQVNYQLD0B7TC9B7V63G/LGBTQ.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5cb3a7e6333396b0fd63b/1592973879906-NA6DYDW6V7AWDOG9Z88Q/Women.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5cb3a7e6333396b0fd63b/1594701222148-T5BR580TCBXV44NWVK7X/comm4-paulo-cardoso-Q6_1a2WncIg-unsplash.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Communities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Communities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Communities https://www.soyouredeconstructing.com/practices daily 0.75 2024-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed5cb3a7e6333396b0fd63b/1592980155370-QKY8EFOS0NIYRKVQIPG2/dingzeyu-li-ie8WW5KUx3o-unsplash+copy.jpg https://www.soyouredeconstructing.com/spiritual-first-responders-project daily 0.75 2024-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847903854-US92D97SPXSFKLOB824X/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847904056-0T9RWJ5K3RJ19LDYKWHZ/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Spiritual First Responders Project https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Spiritual First Responders Project https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Spiritual First Responders Project
