Christian Based Therapy

Christian Based Therapy

Receive Assistance from Someone Who Understands Your Faith and Values

If you're a Christian, you probably feel it is important to find a therapist who shares your beliefs, understands your values, and supports how your beliefs relate to your healing.


Christian counseling can look different for everyone. Some people simply want a counselor they can trust. Others are looking for deeper guidance and input that incorporates their faith. You get to decide.


At Inspired Therapy, we believe that including your faith in the therapy process gives hope, joy, and strength amidst trials in life. Inspired Therapy, Melissa Pazen, MSW LCSW provides compassionate telehealth therapy for women throughout Illinois.


Inspired Therapy, Melissa Pazen approaches Christian-based therapy from a non-denominational, nonjudgmental perspective; I don’t push my beliefs, and try to create a sacred space where you feel safe to speak openly. With Christian women, I use scriptural passages to help you understand God’s love and plan for you. I have attended church and worked with clients of many denominations. I am also compassionate, caring, and will walk with you through anything.
