Looking for therapy that integrates your faith and mental health?
At Ezer Psychotherapy, we offer Christian-based therapy in Minneapolis for children, teens, and young adults who want their healing to align with their beliefs.

Whether you're navigating an eating disorder, anxiety, depression, ADHD, functional neurological disorder (FND), or the stress of chronic illness—you don’t have to choose between evidence-based care and your faith.

What Is Christian-Based Therapy?

Christian therapy (also called faith-based counseling) integrates proven psychological approaches with Christian values, beliefs, and spiritual practices—when and how you want them included.

This may involve:

  • Exploring identity, worth, and purpose through a faith lens

  • Processing struggles using both clinical tools and spiritual insight

  • Incorporating prayer, scripture, or spiritual reflection (optional)

  • Addressing shame, guilt, or perfectionism rooted in religious experiences

  • Rebuilding trust in yourself, your body, and your relationship with God

Important: Therapy is always tailored to you. Faith is integrated collaboratively and respectfully—not assumed or imposed.

  • Want your therapist to understand and respect your faith

  • Feel disconnected from God due to mental health struggles

  • Experience shame, guilt, or perfectionism tied to faith

  • Are recovering from an eating disorder and struggling with control, identity, or worth

  • Are a parent seeking values-aligned care for your child or teen

We work with:
