Certified Christian Counselors
Find a Christian Therapist
Finding a counselor who shares your faith and understands professional care should not require months of searching. Edifi matches you with certified Christian counselors who are trained, credentialed, and practicing from a genuine faith commitment.
Our approach
How Edifi vets and matches counselors
01
Certified, not just pastorally trained
Edifi counselors hold AACC, ACBC, or equivalent certifications. Many also hold state clinical licenses (LMFT, LCSW, LPC). Professional credentials and faith commitment both matter.
02
Theologically grounded
Our counselors understand Reformed, evangelical, and Catholic traditions and can work meaningfully within yours — without imposing their own theological position.
03
Specialty-matched
Each counselor lists specific areas of training — anxiety, trauma, marriage, OCD, grief — so you match on competence and specialty, not just calendar availability.
04
Curated, not open marketplace
Edifi is not a directory where any counselor can list themselves. Every counselor has been reviewed before appearing to clients. You are not sorting through hundreds of profiles.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between a Christian therapist and a biblical counselor?
- A Christian therapist typically holds professional training in counseling or psychology alongside their faith commitment. A biblical counselor works primarily from a Scripture-centered framework. Edifi counselors hold AACC, ACBC, or equivalent certifications — many also hold state clinical licenses — and integrate both clinical and biblical approaches.
- How do I know if a counselor is a good fit?
- Most clients have a clear sense within two or three sessions. At Edifi, you can switch counselors at any time without penalty. Finding the right fit is part of the process, not a failure.
- Will my counselor push their faith on me?
- No. Edifi counselors are trained to work with each client's own faith context, not to proselytize or steer clients theologically. Sessions are client-led. Your counselor's faith informs their orientation, not their agenda.
- Is Christian counseling covered by insurance?
- Some Edifi counselors are in-network with major insurance plans. Check individual counselor profiles for coverage details. We also work with HSA and FSA accounts.
