Can You Recommend a Christian Therapist Who Combines Faith with Professional Counseling?
If you’ve been searching for counseling, you may have asked yourself: Is there a therapist who understands both my faith and my mental health needs? Too often, the options feel divided. Some providers focus only on psychology without a biblical foundation, while others emphasize faith but lack the clinical training to address complex struggles like anxiety, depression, or trauma.
The good news is, yes, you can find both in one place.
Jane is a Licensed Christian Biblical counselor who is unafraid to provide answers and guidance from scripture.
Meet Jane Perkins, LCPC/LPC-S
At Are You Ready Counseling, LLC, Jane Perkins offers Christian counseling that blends biblical truth with professional therapy. With over 27 years of experience, Jane serves adults across Illinois and Missouri through secure online sessions. She believes true healing comes from caring for both the heart and the mind, anchored in God’s Word.
Why Choose Jane as Your Christian Therapist?
- Licensed Professional Counselor: Extensive clinical experience and training.
- Faith-Based Approach: Every session integrates Scripture, prayer, and biblical wisdom.
- Specialization in Anxiety & Depression: Jane focuses on anxiety, panic, grief, and depression—helping women find peace through Christ.
- Practical + Spiritual Tools: Learn how to take every thought captive, renew your mind, and anchor your spirit in God’s promises.
Payment Options
- Self-Pay: $150 per session.

Beyond Counseling: The Anchored Woman Experience
In addition to licensed counseling, Jane also leads the Anchored Woman Experience—a faith-based coaching and teaching program designed for women who want to grow spiritually, strengthen boundaries, and live confidently in their God-given identity.
Counseling vs. Coaching: What’s the Difference?
- Counseling (Are You Ready Counseling): A licensed mental health service that addresses issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief. Counseling provides clinical tools and therapeutic care within the safety of professional, state-licensed practice.
- Coaching (Anchored Woman Experience): A Christ-centered growth and discipleship program that equips women with biblical strategies for everyday life. Coaching is not therapy—it focuses on personal growth, identity, spiritual formation, and community support, not clinical treatment of mental health conditions. (www.anchoredwoman.org)
What Anchored Woman Offers
Through online workshops, group programs, and interactive resources, the Anchored Woman Experience helps women:
- Break free from guilt, people-pleasing, and overwhelm.
- Anchor their identity in Christ.
- Build confidence to set healthy, biblical boundaries.
- Connect with a community of like-minded Christian women.
Coaching doesn’t replace counseling—it complements it. Many women choose to engage in both, using counseling to work through deeper struggles and Anchored Woman to apply practical biblical tools for daily living.
