Best answer:
Answer by Paul
A skilled counselor that you trust and is good at reading your needs is best, regardless of Christian or not. I am Christian but went to a non-Christian counselor who was a big help for me with post-divorce depression. If you do not feel the counselor you start to see is helping, try another.

Thats a good question and I hope this makes sense to you. If you are not a religious person and truly do not understand how God works, advice or help from a religious facilty will do you no good because you will leave feeling as if you just received Gods way or no way kind of help. Going to a therapist will help you but you have to take therapy with a grain of salt. Mankind was created by God. With his way of life he hopes you live with his beliefs. No matter who you see for help, he will be there for you. If you believe in his faith and walk with him, you will never walk alone. The bible is a book of his words and all therapists have received their educations on therapy from a book written by another therapist who’s words of commen sense were good enough to be published for college students of therapy who most likely have a bible at home next or near to his type writter. Read the poem “Footprints in the Sand” and you will understand God will help you through all of this and you will be fine. Trust me, it worked for me. Put your faith in God through your hard time right now and you will be fine, I promise. Oh, and just maybe you will run into your therapist at church, he even knows who to follow.
You go to a counselor for his knowledge in being able to help you with your depression, not whether or not he drops a $ 400 check in the offering plate every Sunday.
The monster known as divorce knows no bias, race, religion or national origon. When we marry whom we feel in our heart is that special someone, we plan for it to go until death do us part.
But somewhere along life’s rocky road something goes dreadfully wrong. Whether it be an unexpected addition to the family, a mysterious someone entering the picture, or just falling out of love with that person, there has to be a reasoning behind it. Sure you knew that when she looked hot at 18, maybe she doesn’t look quite as hot at 40. But like Randy Travis said, I ain’t in love with your hair, and if it all fell out, I’d love you any way.
When we fall in love, it is the person inside we fall in love with, not the exterior window dressing.
But I can see how depression sets in. Only a skilled counselor can help you through this valley in your life.
I am a christian and I have been in counseling for depression and anxiety in the past. I would suggest a non-religion affiliated counselor. I know that Jesus is my lord and savior and I pray every night – so that part is covered. You need to get at the root of the depression and anxiety with no pre-existing bias (bias as in prayer can answer everything). You always have your pastor or other religious affiliations to supplement your spiritual side.
