Counselling Services
Often there is more to work through than we can manage, even with much prayer, or the help of friends and family. Mental and emotional health, like physical health, needs maintenance and attention. Resources to further you along your path of healing would be incomplete without encouraging you to consider reaching out to a well-trained and believing counselor, in case it might be beneficial to you in your own unique situation.
​
The Catholic Psychotherapy Association and Catholic Therapists allow you to search by state to help you find a qualified counsellor in your area.
CatholicPsych.com offers online courses and resources including daily mentorship so you can have help all along the way (for those in need of financial assistance, ask about available scholarships), and all based on a Catholic understanding of the human person and our relationship to God. There might be something there just the right fit for you!
Catholic Counselors also offers tele-counseling so you can get help no matter where you are!
Catholic counselor Sonja Corbitt offers individual consultations as well as a Sacred Healing Masterclass!
​
Mental health professionals are trained to know what makes a healthy mind and heart, and to aid in repairing injured ones, just as a medical doctor knows how to repair an injured body. Even a non-Catholic or non-Christian counselor can be of immense help when someone has suffered religious trauma, sexual or emotional abuse, or years of struggling in dysfunctional relationships.
If you're looking for someone who specializes in any particular area, click here to search by a wide array of criteria in order to find someone who has the right qualifications to assist you.
