Faith-Integrated Therapy in Burlington
Finding a therapist who understands your faith can feel challenging. You want professional help, but you also want someone who will not dismiss or pathologize your beliefs. Someone who understands that prayer matters, that scripture brings comfort, and that your relationship with God is central to who you are.
At Graceway Wellness, we offer Christian counselling in Burlington that integrates faith with evidence-based therapy. Our therapists are both professionally trained and personally committed to serving clients who want their faith honoured in the therapeutic process.
What Makes Counselling “Christian”?
Christian counselling is not simply therapy delivered by a Christian. It is an intentional integration of faith and professional therapeutic practice.
Faith as a resource, not an obstacle
In Christian counselling, your faith is treated as a strength and resource, not something to work around. We recognize that for many believers, faith provides meaning, hope, community, and a framework for understanding suffering.
Integration at your invitation
Faith integration happens at your pace and invitation. This might include:
- Opening or closing sessions with prayer
- Exploring relevant scripture passages
- Discussing how your faith shapes your understanding of your struggles
- Considering spiritual practices as part of your healing
- Processing questions about God, suffering, and purpose
Nothing is imposed. You decide how faith shows up in your therapy.
Evidence-based practice
Christian counselling is not a replacement for professional therapeutic training. Our therapists use the same evidence-based approaches, like CBT and EFT, that have been proven effective. Faith integration adds another layer of support without replacing clinical expertise.
Common Concerns We Help With
Anxiety and worry
Many Christians struggle with anxiety while also feeling guilty about it. “Just pray more” or “trust God” may be true but not always sufficient. Christian anxiety therapy provides professional support while honouring your faith.
Depression and discouragement
Depression can feel like a spiritual failure, but it is not. We help you address depression with therapeutic tools while also exploring how your faith can be a source of comfort and hope.
Grief and loss
Grief raises profound questions about God, heaven, and meaning. Christian grief counselling holds space for these questions while supporting you through the pain of loss.
Marriage and relationship struggles
For Christians, marriage is a covenant, not just a contract. Christian couples counselling helps you strengthen your marriage in ways that align with your faith and values.
Trauma and past wounds
Trauma can shake your faith and raise difficult questions about why God allowed your suffering. Christian trauma therapy helps you heal while exploring these spiritual dimensions.
Life transitions
Major changes like career shifts, empty nest, retirement, or moves can be disorienting. Faith-integrated therapy helps you navigate transitions while staying anchored in your values.
Why Burlington Clients Choose Graceway
Professional credentials
Our therapists are Registered Psychotherapists (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). We meet the same professional standards as any secular practice.

Our faith-integrated therapists have personal Christian faith and additional training in integrating spirituality with therapy. Nevine Bebawi holds an MDiv in Clinical Counselling from Tyndale Seminary, bringing deep theological understanding to her work.
Local and virtual options
We offer in-person sessions at our Burlington office and virtual sessions across Ontario. Whether you live in Burlington, Oakville, Hamilton, or elsewhere in the province, we can support you.
Welcoming all denominations
We serve clients from various Christian traditions: Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Evangelical, and others. We focus on your relationship with God rather than denominational distinctions.
What to Expect
Free consultation
Start with a complimentary 15-minute call to discuss your concerns and see if we are a good fit. This is a chance to ask about faith integration and get a sense of our approach.
Collaborative approach
You are the expert on your own faith. We do not impose theological positions or assume we know what you believe. Instead, we explore together how your faith relates to your healing.
Safe space for doubt
If you are struggling with faith, questioning God, or feeling spiritually dry, that is welcome here. Doubt and questions are part of many believers’ journeys, and therapy can be a safe place to explore them.
Practical tools and spiritual support
You will leave with practical strategies for managing your concerns, along with support for integrating your faith into your healing process.
Is Christian Counselling Right for You?
Christian counselling may be a good fit if:
- You want a therapist who shares or respects your faith
- Faith is an important part of your identity and worldview
- You want the option to include prayer, scripture, or spiritual practices
- You have struggled to find therapists who understand your beliefs
- You are wrestling with spiritual questions alongside other concerns
Christian counselling is not about finding therapist who tells you what to believe. It is about finding one who honours what you already believe while providing professional support.
Taking the First Step
If you are looking for Christian counselling in Burlington or across Ontario, we would be honoured to support you.
