How to Find a Biblical Counselor
Finding a biblical counselor who will minister God’s truth to you in Christ’s love is important.
I encourage you to visit the following biblical counseling organizations:
• The National Association of Nouthetic Counselors (NANC) maintains a list of NANC certified biblical counselors. Their list is searchable by zip code. You can visit it at Find a Counselors.
• The Association of Biblical Counselors (ABC) maintains a list of vetted biblical counselors that you can find at The Biblical Counseling Network.
• The Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation (CCEF) is developing a list of vetted biblical counselors. To date you can contact their Intake Department to refer you to a counselor in your area: Intake@ccef.org.
While I know that NANC, ABC, and CCEF work diligently to screen any ministry or individual in their list:
• It is important for you to personally research the church, ministry, or individual listed.
• If you search these recommended links and find a biblical counselor in your area, please exercise due diligence and contact them with pertinent questions.
• The Biblical Counseling Coalition’s Confessional Statement is a good starting place as you seek to find a qualified biblical counselor who is a good match for your convictions.
• I also recommend the ABC’s document: Questions to Ask When Choosing a Counselor.

We are traveling to Sarasota, Florida over Easter weekend this year and are looking for a solid, biblical church in which to worship on Easter. Any recommendations? We are biblical counselors, although not certified, but we trust your recommendations. Thank you.
My name is Alan Roth, and I am a doctoral student at Masters International University of Divinity in Evansville, Indiana. I would like to invite you to participate in a research study I am conducting that will seek to identify Compassion Fatigue in Biblical Counselors and ascertain the mitigating effects, if any of spiritual well-being, religious coping and resilience. Particularly, I am searching for qualified experts in the fields of Christian and Biblical Counseling who have a working knowledge of biblical counseling.
