What It Is

Where Faith and Clinical Care Meet

Two graduate degrees, one integrated conversation — therapy and theology, together.

Faith-integrated therapy weaves your Christian faith into evidence-based mental health care. It goes by many names — Christian counseling, Catholic counseling, faith-based therapy — and what they share is the conviction that your spiritual life and your emotional life are not separate.

Annie Harton Kassell, LMFT, is uniquely positioned to offer this: she holds graduate degrees in both marriage and family therapy and theology. That means genuinely integrated care — not clinical work with a verse attached, and not spiritual advice in place of therapy, but both, held together with skill.

How It Works

An Invitation, Never an Expectation

For clients who want it, Annie can integrate prayer, Scripture, and spiritual reflection alongside proven therapeutic methods. Faith is an anchor, never the lead — and it is set fully aside for clients who prefer a secular approach. Your beliefs are honored, never imposed.

As a Catholic therapist, Annie is glad to work within a Catholic framework, and equally at home with clients from other Christian traditions or those who are simply questioning and want space to explore.

Who It's For

For People of Faith, and Those Wrestling With It

The woman who wants her therapist to understand why her faith matters. The couple who want their marriage work grounded in shared values. And the person in a season of spiritual struggle who needs room to ask honest questions without judgment.

Faith-integrated care is available across all of Annie's services — individual, couples, premarital, and family therapy — in Indianapolis and online.

Common Questions

Questions People Often Ask

A few things people want to know before they reach out.

What is faith-integrated therapy?
It is licensed, evidence-based therapy that intentionally includes your faith — through prayer, Scripture, and spiritual reflection — for clients who want it. It differs from biblical counseling, which is typically faith-only and not provided by a licensed clinician.
Do I have to be religious to see Annie?
Not at all. Faith is always an invitation and never an expectation. Many of Annie's clients prefer a fully secular approach, and faith is set aside entirely for them.
What is the difference between Christian and Catholic counseling here?
Annie is a Catholic therapist with graduate training in theology, so she is glad to work within a Catholic framework — and she is equally comfortable with clients from other Christian traditions or those exploring faith.
Is faith-integrated therapy available online?
Yes. Faith-integrated care is woven through all of Annie's services and is available in Indianapolis and by secure video across the states where she is licensed.
