01 — The process
How Sanctum works
No waiting lists. No guessing whether your therapist understands your faith. No insurance headaches.
02
Get matched in 48 hours
A care coordinator — a real human, not an algorithm — hand-pairs you with a licensed Christian therapist in your state. You see their name, approach, and scripture they hold close.
03
Begin your work
Book your first session online, virtual or in-person. Message your therapist between sessions. Your superbill generates automatically.
02 — The honest version
What Sanctum is — and isn't.
We're putting this up top because both sides worry about something. The clinical skeptic wonders if “Christian therapy” means prayer-only. The devout reader worries we'll water down the faith. Neither is true.
What we are
- A clinical therapy platform. Every Sanctum clinician is a state-licensed mental health professional.
- Faith-integrated when you want it. We meet you where you are — deep in scripture or quietly exploring.
- Trained in the therapies that work: CBT, EMDR, couples therapy, grief work, trauma-informed care.
- HIPAA-secure and confidential. Your pastor is not informed. Your faith community is not contacted.
What we aren't
- Not a ministry. Sanctum does not replace a pastor, spiritual director, or church community.
03 — The people
Meet a few of our clinicians.
All licensed. All believers. All rigorously screened — license verification, clinical skills assessment, and a clear statement of how they hold their faith in the therapy room.

For churches
Your congregation needs more than referrals.
Sanctum partners with churches to provide pre-vetted, state-licensed Christian therapists your members can access with one click — at a cost you can subsidize or sponsor. We handle the clinical infrastructure. You focus on shepherding.

04 — Questions
Questions people ask before their first session.
Will my therapist pray with me?
Only if you ask them to. Sanctum therapists follow your lead on faith integration — some clients want prayer, scripture, and explicit Christian frameworks; others want a therapist who simply understands their faith without making it the focus. Either is legitimate, and your therapist will check in with you.
Is Sanctum covered by my insurance?
Sanctum does not bill insurance directly. After each session, we automatically generate a superbill — a standardized receipt with all the codes your insurer needs. You submit it to your insurance, and most PPO plans reimburse 50–80% of out-of-network therapy sessions. We will never promise you coverage, because coverage depends on your specific plan.
Are your therapists actually licensed? Or are these "Christian counselors"?
Every Sanctum clinician is a state-licensed mental health professional — LPC, LCSW, LMFT, LMHC, Licensed Psychologist, or equivalent. We verify licenses, run background checks, and assess clinical skill before any therapist is added to the platform. Christian faith is a layer on top of clinical training, not a substitute for it.
