You were never meant to carry it alone

Anxiety. Grief. A marriage under strain. Burnout that arrived so gradually you stopped noticing it. Everyday life brings trials that are heavy to carry by yourself — and carrying them should not mean choosing between real counseling and real faith.

Why people choose Pastor's Heart

Counseling that takes your faith and what you are going through equally seriously.

Your faith is not something to work around

In a lot of counseling your faith is at best tolerated — you leave it at the door, or you spend the first month explaining why it matters. Here you can talk openly about God, Scripture, prayer and your church from the first session, because that is the point rather than a complication.

You do not have to vet them yourself

Traditional counseling makes finding the person your job: scroll the profiles, guess, and hope "faith-friendly" means something. Tell us what you are going through and what matters to you, and the matching is ours to do.

Meet privately online

You meet your counselor by secure video, from home or anywhere else private that works for you.

More than one conversation

Pastor's Heart is built for ongoing Christian counseling and support, not a single one-time conversation.

Who you will be talking to

Pastor's Heart counselors include Christian counselors and licensed Christian therapists — the right one for you depends on what you are looking for. Counseling licensure is granted state by state, so a counselor is only offered to a Virginia client when their recorded licence covers Virginia. We do not list individual counselor profiles on this page; your match is made after your assessment, from the counselors accepting new clients at that moment.

What Richmond clients most often come for

Individual Counseling

Burnout, anxiety and the quiet exhaustion of work that never really stops.

Teen Counseling

Teenagers carrying more than they are saying, and parents who can tell.

Couples Counseling

Marriages strained by two demanding careers and not enough hours.

How it works

  1. Tell us what you are looking for

    A short, confidential assessment asks what you are going through, the kind of support you want, your faith background, and when you are free.

  2. Get matched

    We match you with a counselor whose experience, faith background and availability fit what you told us — and whose licence covers your state.

  3. Schedule your first session

    Choose a time that works from your dashboard, and you will get a confirmation by email.

  4. Meet online

    Sessions are 50 minutes by secure video, from wherever you are.

Join the community, then add the support you need

The membership is the foundation. Private counseling is a level you add on top of it — so you are joining something, not buying a therapy package.

Using insurance for counseling

Insurance is a separate lane for private counseling, reviewed on its own. Your Pastor’s Heart membership stays separate from it and is not billed to insurance. Eligible counseling is delivered by an appropriately licensed provider, and what you pay depends on your own plan and benefits — which we review with you rather than quote up front.

Christian counseling for Richmond

Richmond clients meet their counselor by secure video, so an appointment does not have to be scheduled around crossing the city at five o’clock.

Who we see in Richmond

Richmond clients come to Pastor’s Heart for anxiety and burnout carried by people in demanding public-sector, healthcare and university work, for marriages under pressure, and for parents navigating a teenager who has stopped talking. Working adults and families, matched on what they are actually dealing with.

Matched to your tradition, not a generic one

Richmond has deep and varied church roots, and “Christian counseling” means noticeably different things across them. Your assessment records your denomination and cultural background, and both feed the match — so you are not spending your first sessions explaining your church to someone who has never been in one like it.

Common questions

Can I be matched with a counselor who understands my church background?

Your assessment asks about denomination and cultural background, and both are part of how you are matched. Where a counselor with that specific background is not available, we say so rather than guessing.
