Parents come to me feeling exhausted and disconnected from their teenager — not because of danger, but because of silence, distance, and arguments that go nowhere. I'm Dr. David Haralson, a Marriage and Family Therapist with a Ph.D. in Medical Family Therapy and over 13 years working with teens and families. At Oasis Family Therapy, I work with both sides — helping parents and teens actually reach each other again. I also serve Spanish-speaking families and bring a culturally sensitive lens to every family I work with.

Do you feel like you have to earn your worth? What if I told you, it is already yours.
But I know it doesn’t always feel that way.
A lot of the clients I work with have spent years questioning themselves. Feeling like they had to be useful, agreeable, or “put together” to be enough. That kind of pressure can be exhausting. It leaves you feeling disconnected from who you are and unsure how to get back to something that feels real and authentic.

Life is hard. Three simple words that are at the root of why people seek out therapists. I believe that the vast majority of people are doing the best they can in life. When our thoughts, words and actions aren’t in sync with our values or expectations of ourselves, that can lead to depression, anxiety and other distressing emotions. Sometimes we find ourselves in deep distress due to the actions of others. I find great joy in helping others sort through that complex tangle of emotions, thoughts and behaviors in order to come to a resolution–to figure out how to move forward in a manner that brings them peace.

My clients are adults who have been trying to figure it out on their own and are finally ready for real support. They're stuck in self-sabotaging patterns they can't seem to break, carrying unhealed trauma that keeps showing up in their relationships and daily life, or living under the weight of negative beliefs about themselves that feel completely true no matter what they do. They're not in crisis. They're functional. But underneath the surface, something keeps getting in the way of the life they know they're capable of living. They want a therapist who will hear them, challenge them with care, and help them get to the root issue.

Same week availability! Do you need a safe space to share your feelings and struggles without fear of judgement? Do you need something to change in your life or relationships? Are you ready to embark on a journey that, although difficult, will help you to THRIVE, not just SURVIVE? I am comfortable with and have experience working with many issues, but my favorite issue to help people battle is compulsive sexual behaviors, compulsive pornography use, and betrayal trauma as a result of those behaviors in others. It often feels like you are the only one struggling with these things, and like no one could ever understand.

I feel very confident working with individuals who are challenged with depression and/or anxiety, but I most enjoy working with clients who are navigating difficult times in life (relationships, employment, general life changes, etc.). I want to work with people who are intent on learning and growing in a positive direction.

FAQ - About Christian Counselling
What can a Christian therapist help with?
Many Christian counselors incorporate faith-based principles into psychotherapy and draw guidance from biblical writings. This approach may be particularly helpful if you are experiencing concerns related to faith, prolonged grief, substance use, or questions about life’s purpose. Christian therapists may also offer marital, premarital, or family counseling. These can be helpful options if your concerns are more relational in nature, such as communication challenges in a marriage, conflict within a family, or adjustment following a major family transition, such as divorce or a move.
How does Christian faith shape the therapy experience?
Christian faith can shape the therapy experience by giving you a familiar framework for discussing meaning, purpose, forgiveness, relationships, and hope in sessions. For clients who want faith included in therapy, a Christian therapist may draw on Christian values, prayer, or spiritual reflection alongside other therapeutic approaches. In addition, while training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has shown that a strong alliance between you and your 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. Nevertheless, an ethical Christian therapist should be clear about how they incorporate faith and should respect the level of spiritual discussion that feels right for you.
Does Christian therapy work across different denominations?
Christian therapy can be helpful for people from various different Christian traditions, including Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, and Anglican backgrounds. Many Christian therapists are able to support clients across denominations by focusing on shared Christian values, such as faith, prayer, forgiveness, and hope. That said, denomination can matter for some clients. A person’s identified denomination may shape how they understand relationships and life roles. If these differences are important to you, it may be helpful to ask a therapist whether they have experience working with clients from your specific denomination or faith tradition.
Can a Christian therapist help with marriage and couples counseling?
Christian faith-based therapy can take many different forms, including marriage counseling and couples counseling. Some therapists may also offer Christian pre-marital counseling. In these settings, Christian therapists may work with couples on concerns such as communication, conflict, trust, intimacy, parenting, and major life transitions. A Christian therapist may also help couples explore how shared Christian beliefs shape the relationship. They may encourage you and your partner to practice skills learned in therapy in your everyday lives, including both faith-based practices and non-faith-based tools, such as prayer or communication skills.
Can a Christian therapist help with sensitive issues like sex, trauma, or addiction?
Licensed therapists with adequate training should be equipped to help with a number of sensitive issues, including sex, trauma, and addiction. For clients who want faith included in therapy, a Christian therapist may help explore how your spiritual beliefs relate to your challenges, healing, and recovery. A competent and ethical Christian therapist should not judge, shame, or impose a particular belief when discussing these topics, and if you feel judged, it may be time to seek another therapist.
How can a Christian therapist support family therapy?
Christian family therapy can help families address conflict, communication challenges, parenting concerns, grief, or adjustment following a major life transition. A Christian therapist may support family members in understanding one another’s perspectives, improving communication, setting healthier boundaries, and rebuilding trust. For families who want faith included in therapy, a Christian therapist may also help explore how family values related to Christianity can support healing.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience working with Christian clients?
If religion is important to you in therapy, it can be helpful to ask a prospective therapist whether they have experience working with Christian clients. In initial conversations with potential therapists, you might ask how they incorporate Christian values into therapy or how they approach certain topics that matter to you. As sessions begin, it can be helpful to notice how the therapist responds to your concerns. A strong therapeutic alliance does not necessarily require a therapist to share your religious background, but they should respond to your concerns with respect and cultural humility. If you feel dismissed, misunderstood, or find yourself having to explain your beliefs constantly, it may be worth considering another therapist.
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 and have identified as Christian. It shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason.
