While I specialize in combining clinical and pastoral psychotherapy—an approach that integrates faith and mental health—I welcome individuals at any point in their faith journey.
Life is a journey, and we are all trying to find our way home. Along the way, the load we carry can become heavy and make the journey more difficult. Sometimes, we simply need permission to pause, set down our packs, take a breath, and gently sort through what we’ve been carrying. In doing so, we can move forward with greater clarity and a lighter load.
My name is Courtenay McFarlin, and it is an honor to walk alongside others as they create the time and space to process all that life has brought their way. It is my joy to guide others toward restored hope, nurtured faith, and grounded love.

Are you struggling with constant worries about the future? Feeling stuck, lost, or hopeless? Navigating experiences of trauma or grief/loss? When someone takes the bold step to come to therapy, part of them wants better for themselves, their relationships, and/or their life as a whole.

I enjoy collaborating with people on their healing journeys whether it’s through processing life’s hardships, exploring parts of their story and identities, or creating realistic goals to make lasting changes.

You’re the “go to” person whenever anybody needs a favor. Everybody counts on you. You make it all look so easy that no one would ever guess that sometimes you could use some support. Yes, you’ve got a lot going for you, but the truth is you’re feeling tired, angry, and stressed, and maybe even a little ashamed of these feelings because everybody thinks you have it all. Pretending that everything is “fine” is getting harder and harder, but it’s hard to ask for help. NEWS FLASH: Even Superwoman needs a break every now and then!

Do you find yourself struggling with frequent worries, anxiety, depression, memories from the past? You want to move forward, live freely, and truly enjoy life, work, and meaningful relationships with others. You have goals you want to achieve and are tired of feeling held back. Through reflection you realize that many of these struggles are tied to the past... perhaps to childhood experiences, unhealthy relationships, trauma, or past difficult situations you went through. Perhaps you can't even quite identify the reason, you just feel a heavy emotional burden and that something is holding you back.

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.
