Finding a professional who will truly integrate their faith into
the counseling process is a big task.  Along with the guidelines
below we have provided some Christian and non-Christian
articles that can assist you in making a good decision.

We recommend you first read "Finding the Right Help
(Choosing a counselor for someone with unwanted same-sex
attractions)" by Tim Wilkins - Cross Ministries.

Other Counselor/Therapist selection tips:

* Counseling and psychotherapy are fundamentally different.
There is significant overlap as they are practiced and many
professionals do both.

* Counseling primarily involves defining problems, decision
making, problem solving and providing, information, advice or
guidance.

* Psychotherapy primarily involves the application of
psychological and behavioral therapies intended to improve
physical and psychological well-being.

* A positive relationship is a critical factor in counseling or
therapy and is absolutely critical when working with children
and teens.

* When working with homosexuality, it is generally
recommended that you choose someone of your same gender.
