Christian counseling
Reaching out is the hardest part. We'll make the rest easier.
Maybe you've been pushing through for a while, telling yourself it will get better on its own. Maybe someone you love is struggling, and you're not sure how to help. However you got here, it took courage to start looking.
Freedom has been helping people in Louisville for more than 20 years. Our counselors work with individuals, couples, families, and kids as young as 8, so if more than one person in your home is hurting, you can find help in one place, with counselors who know each other's work.
Faith at the center. Never forced.
Faith is central to how we work. Our counselors bring together a biblical worldview, Christian theology, and the best clinical practice. When you want it, that means prayer, Scripture, and honest conversations about God in your sessions.
When you don't, you get the same excellent clinical care, and you decide which parts of faith, if any, you want to talk about. We follow your lead. Christian counseling or biblical counseling?

What it costs, up front
$50 to $165
per 50-minute session, depending on your counselor
Student sessions with Sophie are $50. We don't bill insurance, but you can pay with an HSA or FSA card, and we'll give you a superbill, a receipt you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Many plans cover part of the cost.
Imagine the weight getting lighter
Picture a marriage where you talk again instead of bracing for the next argument. A teenager who opens the door. Evenings when your mind finally slows down. Grief you can carry without it carrying you.
Counseling doesn't make life easy. It gives you a steady place, and a steady person, to work through what's hard.
When another kind of care fits better
We'll always tell you honestly if we're not the right fit. We refer to other providers for severe mental illness that needs psychiatric care or medication management, and for children younger than 8. If that's you, call us anyway, and we'll help you find the right next step.
Common questions
Do you take insurance?
We don't bill insurance directly, but you can pay with an HSA or FSA card, and we'll give you a superbill to submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Sessions are $50 to $165.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually the same week, and sometimes as soon as the next day.
I'm not religious. Is Freedom still right for me?
Yes. Faith is central to how we work, but it's never required. You'll get the same excellent clinical care, and we follow your lead on faith.
Can I meet online?
Yes, if you're in Kentucky. Every counselor offers online sessions. Clients from Southern Indiana meet with us in person, about 20 minutes from New Albany.
What if I don't click with my counselor?
You can switch to another Freedom counselor at any time. Finding the right fit matters.
What happens at the first session?
You'll talk about what brought you in and what you'd like to be different. There's no pressure to share everything at once.
How often will I meet with my counselor?
Early on, as often as you reasonably can, given your budget, your schedule, and everything else on your plate. For your first six to eight sessions, we usually recommend weekly, or at least every other week. That builds momentum, helps you and your counselor build a strong working relationship quickly, and gives you time to set clear goals together. From there, most people begin spreading sessions out.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Yes. You can pay for sessions with an HSA or FSA card.
Is there a difference between a counselor and a therapist?
Not in any way that should change your choice. People use the words interchangeably for a trained professional who provides talk therapy. What matters most is fit: someone whose training matches what you're facing, and who you feel comfortable talking to.
Ready when you are.
Request an appointment in about a minute. Most people are seen the same week.
