Glad to oblige Lou....
I have been to several counselors over the years...both saved (christians) and non-saved (not saved)As a believer...a professional counselor who is also a Bible Believing christian, is far better to counsel another believer as a patient.
So the short answer is yes....while both saved and unsaved counselors may be equal in their education, ability and expertise....a CHRISTIAN
counselor will usually have a better chance to more fully understand the whole man...and thereby
be more effective when counseling another believerIF there is no christian counselor avaliable in a persons area...then I would most always recommend the best available non-christian counselor in their particuliar area.
Hope this clears it up...if not Id be happy for more dialogue.BF
