Christian Counseling in Murray, Utah | Lionheart Counseling LLC
Your Faith Is Part of Who You Are — It Deserves a Place in Your Healing
For a lot of people, faith isn't just something they practice on Sundays. It's woven into how they understand themselves, how they process pain, how they make sense of what they've been through. And when you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or feeling completely stuck — it matters to have a therapist who gets that.
Christian counseling at Lionheart Counseling is for adults who want their faith to be part of the conversation, not something they have to set aside at the door. Lionheart Counseling additionally offers therapy and counseling services for non-religious clients as well, without the fear of having these beliefs pushed into their personal therapy treatment. Each client’s treatment is personally tailored to their needs.
What Christian Counseling Is, and What It Is not
Christian counseling at Lionheart Counseling isn't about being lectured at or having scripture thrown at you as a solution to your pain. It isn't about being told to pray more or have more faith. Real struggles deserve real support.
What it is: a therapeutic space where your faith, values, and relationship with God are welcomed and honored as part of who you are and how you heal. We can bring biblical perspectives into the conversation when it's meaningful to you. We can pray together if that feels right, and at your specific request. All the while using the same evidence-based approaches — CBT, EMDR, Solution-Focused Therapy, which make therapy genuinely effective.
Your faith and good clinical care aren't in conflict. They work together. From a Christian religious point of view, you were made, created as a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual being. It makes sense that your therapy includes that spiritual aspect as well.
Common Struggles That Bring People to Christian Counseling
Many people who seek faith-based therapy are dealing with things like:
Anxiety and fear that feels at odds with their faith — "Why can't I just trust God with this?"
Depression and hopelessness, including questions about whether God has abandoned them
Trauma, shame, and the belief that they are too broken or too sinful to be loved
Self-sabotage patterns rooted in deep negative beliefs about who they are
Grief that has shaken their faith or raised hard questions about God
Struggling to forgive themselves or others, even when they know they're "supposed to"
Feeling spiritually empty or disconnected from their faith community
These are real struggles. And they deserve more than someone telling you to just “read your bible more”, or “you aren’t praying enough”. They deserve real care.
How Christian Counseling Works at Lionheart Counseling
Integrating Faith With Evidence-Based Therapy
Christian counseling at Lionheart Counseling weaves your faith naturally into the therapeutic process. That might mean exploring how your beliefs shape the way you see yourself, discussing what your faith tradition says about forgiveness or identity, or simply having a therapist who understands the language and culture of Christian faith.
EMDR and CBT for Christians
The core approaches — EMDR for trauma, CBT for anxiety and depression, Solution-Focused Therapy for finding a path forward are all fully compatible with a Christian worldview. Many Christians find that EMDR in particular aligns naturally with their faith, as it involves trusting the process of healing and allowing old wounds to be transformed.
A Space Free of Shame
One of the most common things Christians share in therapy is shame. The sense of not being good enough, not measuring up, being too far gone. Christian counseling at Lionheart Counseling is a space where that shame can be examined honestly, without judgment, and where a truer understanding of your worth and identity can begin to take root.
Who This Is For
Christian counseling at Lionheart Counseling is a good fit for adults who:
Want their faith to be respected and included in the therapy process
Are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or self-sabotage
Have felt judged or misunderstood by therapists who didn't share or respect their worldview
Are asking hard spiritual questions in the middle of real pain
Want both clinically effective therapy and a faith-informed perspective
You Don't Have to Choose Between Your Faith and Getting Help
Reaching out for therapy isn't a sign of weak faith. It's a sign that you're taking your wellbeing seriously — and that you trust that healing is possible. God works through many things, including the courage it takes to ask for support.
