Christian Therapists in Garner, NC
Life can be hard. Still it is my desire that you flourish in your life, and sometimes counseling is a wise path to pursue to help heal a broken heart and address challenges. I tailor counseling to your goals and needs. Counseling has many facets: healing from past/present pain, improving relationships, exploring one's self, taking responsibility, changing as needed, growing, finding solutions and developing hope for the future plus tools to succeed there. I believe therapy takes much courage. I continue to be humbled as each person shares their life story with me, and I consider it an honor and seek to value what is entrusted to me.

Hello, my name is Deja Jackson and I have been a therapist since February 2021. Person-centered, interpersonal, mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are some therapeutic methods I utilize to help clients overcome struggles they may be having. Self-care is a big part of my practice, because I believe it can be difficult to care for others in our lives, when we are not caring for ourselves properly. I like to encourage my client to enforce boundaries they believe they need in their lives, understand the importance of compromise and when it is appropriate, and maintain mindfulness of needs and emotions.

Christian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
