Vincent Morton MA, LPC
About Vincent
Secular psychology has many models for helping people live psychologically and socially healthy lives. And while there is value in these approaches, they are at root secular, which means they are not founded upon a religious or spiritual understanding of reality.
For some people, the spiritual or religious is central to who they are and how they live. These people are not comfortable with the secular notion that one can be fully healthy while ignoring God. As a Christian, who is trained in secular psychology and Christian theology, I offer as an option, a Christian counseling approach that attempts to incorporate the best of both worlds. Modern science and the Christian faith are not mutually exclusive in my view.
If you are interested in a therapist who is knowledgeable of and comfortable with both modern science and the Christian faith, I may be a good fit for you. Of course, I can and do help people who do not want Christian counseling.
