Clients who want what you offer
Every client who finds you on Edifi came here because they want a Christian counselor. You're not convincing anyone. They already decided faith matters in their care.
— For Counselors
Edifi is built specifically for pastoral and faith-based counselors. Not a directory that added a 'Christian' filter. A practice infrastructure designed around how you actually work.
— Your practice, at a glance
See upcoming sessions, manage availability, and receive payouts — all in one place.
When a client books, you get notified. When a session ends, your payout is on its way.
No admin overhead. No billing staff. No chasing invoices.
— Why counselors choose Edifi
Every client who finds you on Edifi came here because they want a Christian counselor. You're not convincing anyone. They already decided faith matters in their care.
Seminary degrees, denominational ordination, AACC membership, specialty certifications — we verify each one and display it prominently on your profile. Clients see what qualifies you.
Booking, video rooms, payments, and between-session messaging are all handled. You set your availability and rate. We take care of the rest.
— Your availability, your rules
Define your weekly template — which days, which hours. Block dates when you're unavailable. Clients only see slots you've opened. No back-and-forth scheduling emails.
— Verification
Every certification on your Edifi profile has been individually reviewed by the Edifi team. We check documentation. We don't just take your word for it — which is why clients trust the verified badge.
Degree verified via transcript review.
Ordination confirmed with your denomination directly.
Membership verified via organization records.
Certification validated against issuing body standards.

I'm not a state-licensed therapist. Is this platform for me?
Yes — that's who we built it for. Edifi is specifically designed for pastoral and denominational counselors. State licensure is not required or expected.
What if a client is in crisis?
All clients see a crisis banner (988 + 911) throughout the platform. You are not expected to be an emergency service. Your profile makes clear this is pastoral counseling.
How much control do I have over my schedule and clients?
Full control. You set your weekly template, block dates, and choose your rate. You can stop accepting new clients at any time.
We're onboarding counselors carefully — to make sure every client gets someone qualified. Apply and we'll be in touch.
