What We Offer

Do I Have to Be A Christian?

You do not have to be a Christian to receive therapy from our clinicians.  You will be treated with the same unconditional love and respect we give every client, regardless of your personal beliefs.  At Kainos Christian Therapy we say, “We expose so that we do not impose.”  We tell you with our clinic name and in our conversations that we are Christians, coming from a Christian world view with corresponding values.  Our goal is that clients who are not Christians will not fill feel tricked or mislead.  Unconditional positive regard is a core requirement of excellent therapy.  If you ever feel your therapist is pushing an agenda or trying to convince you to change your personal beliefs, you should state your feelings directly to the therapist immediately so the issue can be resolved and you can feel safe in the therapeutic setting.

Why Christian Therapy?

105_4785_smallWe are Christians and we believe that the whole universe belongs to God. Therefore, all science is God’s science. Psychology and therapy are based on science. Therefore, psychology and therapy are God’s. If you use the Bible as the lens through which you see psychology, the therapeutic techniques that are widely accepted as effective agree with the teaching of the Bible.

If you are a Christian, talking about your faith and feelings toward God can help. We provide a safe setting for you to process where you are in your faith journey and where you would like to be. When people encounter Christ they change. Through the Holy Spirit we work to embody Christ and give you a transformative experience.

EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

EMDR frees a client from reliving a traumatic event when it comes to mind and allows clients to associate the memory with more positive thoughts and beliefs. Dual attention stimulation of the brain is created by a client’s eye movement while recalling traumatic events. This approach works for clients recovering from trauma.
