Life Christian Counseling

Welcome to Affirming Christian Counseling, where we believe in fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where individuals can explore their identities, faith, and values without judgment. Led by Dr. Marie Fang, a licensed clinical psychologist in San Diego, we specialize in helping people embrace their true selves, navigate faith transitions, and recover from burnout in safe and supportive conditions.

1. LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy

We provide affirming and compassionate therapy to LGBTQ+ individuals who grapple with the complexities of their identities within faith communities. We empower them to celebrate their uniqueness and find deeper connection to themselves and their surroundings.

2. Faith Deconstruction & Exploration

For those questioning their faith or experiencing cultural and spiritual shifts, we offer a safe space for exploration and growth. We help individuals decouple their faith from harmful narratives, embrace their doubts, and maintain a strong sense of self beyond their beliefs.

3. Burnout Recovery for Therapists

Burnout is rampant amongst therapists, and we understand the specific challenges faced by those who dedicate their lives to helping others. We provide tailored therapy to replenish energy, reconnect with core values, and sustainably maintain a fulfilling practice.
