What are the responsibilities and job description for the Biblical Counselor position at Holistic Mental Health Counseling?
What Sets This Role Apart
At Holistic Mental Health Counseling, we are expanding our services to include a dedicated Biblical Counseling department, offering clients the opportunity to receive care that is deeply rooted in truth found in Jesus Christ.
This role is a unique opportunity to help build and shape this new department from the ground up. We are in the process of transforming our mission and website. The Biblical Counselor will play a key role not only in serving clients, but also in helping establish the foundation for a growing, Christ-centered counseling track within our practice.
The ideal candidate will:
- Provide counseling grounded in Scripture, prayer, and Christ-centered transformation
- Help clients identify and replace lies with biblical truth about their identity, worth, and purpose
- Gently guide clients in recognizing idols of the heart (e.g., control, approval, fear, comfort) and redirecting their trust and dependence back to Jesus
- Support clients in deepening their relationship with God as the foundation for lasting change
- Contribute to the development and vision of our Biblical Counseling services
Future Growth & Leadership Opportunity
As this department grows, there may be opportunities—as the Lord leads—to step into a leadership or supervisory role.
Candidates who are open to supervising, mentoring, or supporting other Biblical Counselors in the future are highly encouraged to apply.
- Previous experience in supervision, leadership, or ministry oversight is a strong plus
- A willingness to grow into this type of role is equally valued
Our Approach to Care
We offer both clinically grounded mental health services and faith-based counseling, allowing clients to receive care that aligns with their needs and beliefs.
Our Biblical Counseling track emphasizes:
- Renewing the mind through God’s Word
- Identity in Christ over identity shaped by past wounds
- Turning away from idols and toward Christ as the true source of peace, security, and worth
- Freedom from shame, fear, and spiritual bondage through truth
- A compassionate, Christ-centered environment that reflects grace and truth
Qualifications (Additional Requirements for This Role)
- Must have at least 1 year of experience practicing Biblical Counseling
- Strong, active relationship with Jesus Christ
- Confidence in using Scripture as a primary tool in counseling sessions
- Certification or training in Biblical Counseling (preferred but not required)
- Licensed clinician (LMHC, LPC, LCSW) is a plus, but not required depending on role
