## What is Faithful Counseling?

FAITHFUL COUNSELING – FEATURES
-------------------------------------------

Find spiritual healing whether you’re Catholic, Protestant, Baptist, or any other denomination of Christianity
Get closer to Christ through Christian counseling based on teachings from the bible
Speak with therapists with a religious background
Seek guidance from spiritual advisors from within the church

FAITH-BASED COUNSELING, PERSONALIZED FOR YOU
By combining Biblical wisdom with clinical expertise in mental health, our counselors invite God into the conversation through prayer while formulating actionable plans to best address the unique challenges their clients face. Our goal is to holistically improve clients’ well-being, so that they may become mentally, emotionally, and spiritually well.

WHO ARE THE COUNSELORS?
The thousands of counselors of Faithful Counseling are a group of practicing Christians that provide therapy online.
All counselors are licensed, trained, experienced, and accredited psychologists (PhD / PsyD), marriage and family therapists (LMFT), clinical social workers (LCSW / LMSW), or licensed professional counselors (LPC). All have a Masters or Doctorate Degree in their field. They have been qualified and certified by their state's professional board after successfully completing the necessary education, exams, training, and practice. While their experience, expertise, and background vary, they all possess at least 3 years and 2,000 hours of experience.
Additionally, every counselor has self-identified as a practicing Christian, shared their testimony with us prior to joining the platform, and has verified that their beliefs align with our Statement of Faith.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
You and your counselor will be given a dedicated virtual "room,” which will be your private and secure way of communicating. This room is open 24/7. You can enter it at any time, from any Internet-connected device wherever you are. In this room, you will write about yourself and the things going on in your life, ask questions and discuss the issues that trouble you. Your counselor will log in to the same room, read your messages, and respond with feedback, insights, and guidance. Your counselor will help you understand the circumstances that hold you back as they prepare you to move forward. This ongoing one-on-one dialog is the basis of your work with your counselor. You may also have phone or video based sessions with your counselor, facilitated through this app. Together you will build towards making a positive change in your life and accomplishing your goals.

HOW MANY SESSIONS CAN I HAVE?
You are not limited in the number of messages ("sessions") you can have with your counselor. The frequency of your sessions would vary based on your availability, and the interaction between you and your counselor. For example, some people have 3-4 short interactions every week, while others prefer to have one very long and thorough session. Your counselor would try to accommodate your changing needs in a timely manner.

### 5/5 — I highly recommend considering services!

*2023-04-24*

Services offered through Faithful Counseling are customized truly to suit your therapy preferences as a client. Therefore, its truly client-centered. My therapist, Cynthia, is truly timely, responsive and gives practical feedback to help me address my specific needs. Additionally, you have the opportunity to choose the way youd like to meet with your therapist (chat, video etc.). This is great for someone like me whose on the go typically and I save tons of gas if you know what I mean. I truly recommend services offered through Faithful Counseling to suit your therapy needs so you too can reap the benefits Im beginning to have since I signed up for services recently.

### 1/5 — Poor Service and Ripped off my brother.

*2023-04-11*

If you’re in need of help and see this please avoid the headache and go somewhere else. My brother was having a crisis and I found this app for him to get scheduled to talk with someone and he had specified needing to talk to a male therapist/counselor. They charged him $400 and then matched him with a female counselor after giving him a run around on the phone about payment. He told the counselor as soon as the call started he was done and they only partially refunded him. After stealing $200 from him he has been unable to get back it added further distress to someone already in a crisis and made things so much worse. My brother is now in a hospital undergoing evaluation against his will after becoming a danger to himself. The horrible service from this app was not the cause, but definitely did nothing to help and only made things worse by convincing an already distressed person that therapy is just a scam.

**Developer response:** Hello there, thank you for sharing this feedback. I am very sorry to hear about this experience and it does not sound usual. We would like to look into this further for you. To discuss, can you please contact us at contact@faithfulcounseling.com?

### 5/5 — Effective

*2023-02-26, version 12.12*

For those of you who have things to say but you don’t want to verbalize them or you are better at conveying thoughts through writing, this is the counseling for you. Have a chat session! I chose the chat for the first visit and it was way less awkward than any in person or video session I’ve had. It also has a cool preview feature so you can read as they type a response which makes the whole thing go faster and is really efficient. At first it was weird but then really helpful.

### 3/5 — 3 stars

*2023-02-15, version 12.12*

Platform could use work on its capacity to simultaneously work from different devices.  I was on video in the app with my therapist and needed to access a worksheet, but couldn’t log in while in session. The video function is pretty basic. I would appreciate a waiting room or to link to a location on the website or app while waiting for my session to start - instead of the therapists video just popping up when they start the session. 
I’ve lost journaling several times in the app just because the “close” link is always visible and bright red, where as the “save” and “submit” link is at the end of the worksheet.

### 5/5 — Great interface for therapy

*2023-01-24, version 12.12*

The app makes managing the different aspects of my therapy—live sessions, messages, groupinars, journaling—seamless. I don’t have to wonder where to go for different activities. I log in and it’s all there. No searching the website and login information. 
The app is password protected for each launch. So I don’t have to wonder about anyone having accessed to my therapy because they have my device unlocked. The app has its own password. 
I’m very pleased with the interface.

### 5/5 — Needs Are Met

*2022-11-19, version 12.12*

I’m very pleased with the ease of use of the app and it’s internal features. I like the fact that there are group sessions available for extra help. I’m also delighted that I can speak with my therapist through messaging throughout the week if I need to. This is a wonderful source for people who don’t live where counseling is easily available or for people who aren’t comfortable leaving their home. I’m very pleased with Faithful Counseling and their app!

### 5/5 — More helpful than I anticipated

*2022-09-10, version 12.11*

I have only been a part of faithful counseling for a couple of weeks and am already blown away by the support of my counselor, as well as the Groupinars that have helped me understand more of who I am. I now no longer feel “crazy” in my emotions, but understand where they’re coming from, and can now work through negative thoughts towards something productive. I am grateful to Faithful a counseling for helping me grow stronger as an individual, and stronger in my faith!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2022-07-26, version 12.9*

I have nothing but good to say about Faithful Counseling. Being able to meet with my counselor from my phone or iPad when I am not at home, being able to text message her when needed, and scheduling ease are just three reason why I love it. I used BetterHelp during the pandemic, but wanted a Christian counselor. Faithful Counseling matched me perfectly and I am making good progress while also understanding what God wants for me through my trials. Five stars!

### 5/5 — Just what I’ve needed!

*2022-04-30, version 12.3*

This app is awesome! I’ve been using it for a few months now and it makes it easy to schedule appointments, quickly connect with my therapist in a pinch, and jot down notes and thoughts throughout the day that would otherwise be trapped in my head. My job and family life keep me constantly on the go (I’m working on trying to slow down to be more intentional!) so the app gives me a seamless and convenient way to integrate self-care and wellness into my day to day life. So far I’ve had zero issues!

### 5/5 — Nothing better than this.

*2022-03-22, version 12.3*

I have been with Faithful Counseling for about a month and I love every aspect of it. The app is easy to navigate, the therapist are extremely friendly and the matching program was a breeze. After answering a few questions on what I need/expect I was matched with my therapist and he has been a light at the end of my tunnel so far. He has helped me in more ways than I can explain and I will forever be grateful that Faithful Counseling has come into my life.
