VIRTUAL THERAPY IS A SAFE PLACE
WHO WE ARE
The Christian Closet is an online therapeutic resource for people who are trying to work out what it means to have a LGBTQI sexual identity, or gender identity within a Christian context.
WHAT WE DO
What we do is meet with people from all over the world via the web as they begin to explore who they are and how this identity can co-exist beautifully with a faith and relationship with God.
WHAT ABOUT GOD AND the Bible?
As we’ve done this work what we’ve found is that journeying with a LGBTQI Christian therapist, coach, or spiritual direction provides a unique opportunity to work through issues of faith, church trauma, questions about God and the Bible, as well as navigating the muddy waters of dealing with non-affirming friends and family.
It’s okay to have doubts, wonder about what the Bible really says about being queer and explore God’s leading in your life. Our hope and goal is for you to become more fully alive, happy and healthy.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Gay, straight, bisexual, lesbian, transgender, intersex, or queer, all of the above - God loves you as you are, period. And yet we also know how hard it is to believe that when so many people say otherwise.
Now offering therapy and support resources for friends and family at Progressive Christian Counseling. Visit our sister site to learn more about our expanded services.
This is a safe place for you to process your feelings, experiences and beliefs.
In addition to individuals who are going through this process, The Christian Closet also holds sessions with straight family members, church leaders, and friends who are trying to work through what it means for someone special in their life to be "out."
HOW VIRTUAL THERAPY WORKS
We know that reaching out for therapy, spiritual direction and coaching can feel like one of the most intimidating and scary things a person can do; and yet also can be one of the biggest gifts you can offer yourself.
THE FIRST STEP
Even if you’re not sure if you want to start therapy, coaching, or spiritual direction it’s okay to first start out with contacting us to set up a free phone consultation. In this first phone call we will get a chance to hear more about you and your current situation and you’ll get a chance to learn about us, connect with who we really are and better understand this process.
We’ve heard from many people that it actually feels good and hopeful to talk about what's going and reassuring to hear a competent and kind person on the other end.
WHAT COMES NEXT
After having your free phone consultation the next step is to set up a first session date and time. All you need is an internet connection and a computer or phone. The unique structure of our practice being completely virtual lets you find the best time that works for you:
meeting in a private office during your lunch hour
doing a session in your car
or meeting in your own home
Once the session time is confirmed you will be emailed two different forms:
Intake Form - simply a bit more information about you
Disclosure form - more information about us, including things like confidentiality, our cancellation policy/fees etc.We use HIPPA compliant video formats that are super easy to download and use and take payment through various online payment formats.
We are so excited that you’ve found us. We can’t wait to get to know you!
