Licensed / Non-Licensed Christian Counselor

About Us

A Practice Built on Faith, Care, & Calling
Foundations Christian Counseling is a faith-rooted counseling practice dedicated to walking alongside individuals, couples, and families with compassion, wisdom, and care grounded in a biblical worldview. We believe that true healing addresses the whole person - heart, mind, and soul - and we are committed to pointing people toward restoration and hope in Christ.

Our team includes both licensed counselors and Biblical Care Specialists, each bringing their unique training, gifts, and personal faith to the people we serve. Together, we care for adults, adolescents, and families through some of life's most difficult seasons.

The Role

What You'll Do:
At Foundations Christian Counseling, our Counselors and Biblical Care Specialists share a common calling: to walk faithfully alongside people in their most vulnerable moments. Depending on your licensure status, your role will be shaped accordingly - but all of our care providers are united by the same heart for people and commitment to Christ-centered care.

You will be supported by experienced team leaders, a collaborative community of care providers, and a mission-driven culture that values your growth as much as your contribution.

• Provide individual, couples, family, and/or group counseling sessions rooted in a biblical worldview
• Walk alongside clients with compassion, active listening, and faith-informed perspective
• Develop personalized care plans that address the unique needs and goals of each person you serve
• Maintain timely, accurate session notes and documentation in accordance with organizational and ethical standards
• Collaborate with pastors, physicians, and other members of a client's broader support network as appropriate
• Participate in regular supervision, team meetings, and ongoing professional development
• Contribute to a supportive, Christ-centered team culture built on prayer, accountability, and shared mission
• Licensed Counselors will additionally carry responsibility for clinical assessment, formal care planning, and may provide services requiring licensure as defined by their state of practice
• Biblical Care Specialists provide holistic, faith-based supportive counseling without clinical diagnosis or licensure-dependent services
