There would certainly be some within the Christian community that would say no, others would insist on the therapist operating within a Christian ministry, and others wouldn't care at all. We would like to think the latter could be the norm, but then what makes them different from anyone else. My POV of Christians is that their supposed to be different from the world.

@SW-User I definitely see your POV I think sometimes as a Christian myself I noticed we tend to over spiritualize things too much for example someone is going through a tough time in their life and the first response is simply say just pray about it or Jesus is our hope and while all those are important in that moment most people are looking for validation and someone just to walk through their pain with him and some Christins don’t even believe we can be depressed and put in on the devil and say they need deliverance when in actuality the issue could be solved by going to see a professional and also praying to Jesus to help walk through the issue with the person if that makes sense.

@SW-User I couldn’t agree more God has gifted people in the medical field to use their skills to serve others both believers and non believers. It’s limiting God and putting him in a box and that box is the church building and outside those four walls it seems as though God can’t work outside the church when he has called Christians to preach to the world and this can be done in various ways.
@SW-User You got that right. SUPPOSED to be, but it hurts God when those who profess to follow Christ, show just the opposite lifestyle, with their words, nude photos, and their false teachings. I've come across two lately. That's not judging. The Bible said you will [i]know[/i] them by their fruits. In other words, you'll know who the phony ones are, by their words and actions. These are phonies and false teachers, of which the Lord is ashamed. They're not fooling the Lord.
There's nothing wrong with seeing a therapist. God gave us doctors, too.
