Working Definition
Catholic Counseling is when the therapist and client agree to adhere to Catholic Truths as taught by the
Magisterium. The therapist understands
the major role that these Truths play in daily living, and has
training in Catholic Theology in order to apply them correctly. The
client must also have some understanding of these truths or at least the openness
to learn them.
These truths will permeate
many of the topics discussed during counseling. Catholic
resources, books, videos, articles, etc., from other authors that
adhere to these Magisterial Truths may be used in therapy.
