About Faith Works

Our owner is a Christian, and that faith shapes the compassion and care we bring to this work, but our doors are open to everyone. We welcome and serve clients of every faith, background, identity, and belief, including those who practice no religion at all. Faith is never a requirement here, and you will never be asked to discuss religion or spirituality in your sessions unless you want to. For clients who do want their faith to be part of their healing, we offer Christian counseling options with therapists who are trained to integrate faith into treatment. The choice is always yours.
