Professional help you can trust
We want to be your trusted resource for Christian counseling
Josh Spurlock
Founder / Director
MyCounselor.Online provides Christian Faith-Based therapy and counseling resources by licensed professionals world-wide online and in-person at offices in Colorado and Missouri.
The content you find on MyCounselor.Online is written and peer-reviewed by our clinical team of licensed professionals to ensure the information you receive is accurate, evidence-based, and trustworthy.
Choosing a counselor is a big deal. You wouldn’t be looking for one unless you or someone you love is facing some serious difficulties. If you are looking for a counselor who shares your values and can help you be mentally, emotionally, and spiritually healthy in every area of your life – you have come to the right place.
That’s why I founded MyCounselor back in 2007. To help you have easy access to professional counselors who love Jesus, know the Bible, and who are clinically trained to apply the best practices of mental and relationship health to your situation.
I personally recruit every clinician on our team and oversee their training to ensure your experience is a great one. We genuinely care about our clients. It matters to us that you reach your goals and have a full, joy-filled life. We want you to be happy.
Having worked with thousands of clients, we really understand the struggle. We’ve been in the trenches and faced the ugliest of ugly. We get it.
And we know how to help.
Online or in-person, you will receive counseling from licensed professionals utilizing the best evidence-based practices in the field of counseling.
You can overcome the challenges you’re facing and have the abundant life you were created for.
Why not take the first step towards that future now?
Cheering you on!
