- Be sure that your Christian faith is strong — and resilient.
As a Christian Counselor, you will work to point your clients towards spiritual solutions. Very literally, you ought to practice what you preach. Of course, how could anyone trust in your suggestions if you don’t believe in such yourself?
- Research Licensing and Certification Requirements
