EXTERNAL PROFESSIONAL COUNSELORS

This list of local professional counselors are individuals and agencies not affiliated with IHOPKC/FC and/or operate specifically apart from the community.  These third parties will be able to provide unbiased care and treatment outside of the community, depending on your needs.  Many of these resources are clinicians who use a faith-based, biblical perspective that can be integrated to the degree you may, or may not, want incorporated during treatment.

FINDING A THERAPIST

Here are some questions intended to help in your search for a therapist.  Using the answers to questions like these help to inform your personal decision in this process.  For some, having the same cultural, faith, and community background is important while not for others. Likewise, some may prefer online for various reasons, while another may prefer in person and location is not a barrier. 

It is OK to be selective in this decision because it is a great investment in yourself, your family, and your future. You are the most important factor in this process.
