About Selah Christian MHC
Selah means to pause and reflect. Let’s be real - being a christian doesn’t mean life is easy. In fact, life can feel quite the opposite at times, overwhelming and chaotic. It’s hard to pause and reflect, and to the see goodness of Christ and the beauty of life when the noises of anxiety, weight of depression, shame of addiction, low view of self, and the struggles of everyday life feel as though they are surrounding us.
In moments like these, I am reminded of St John of the Cross’s famous line from the Dark Night of the Soul - “In the dark night of the soul, bright flows the river of God.” Despite the trouble life brings, Jesus also reminds us of His words in John 16:33, in this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Selah Christian Mental Health Counseling exists to remind us to pause and reflect on the truth of God’s Word - the truth of who we are in Christ, the strength He has given us, His care for us and the restoration that can be found in Him.
Massachusetts continues to experience progress in their response to the high demands for mental health services. While there is a celebration for the state, there is a disparity between secular mental health services and Christian-based mental health services. Data shows that 52% of Massachusetts residents self-identify as Christian, in one way or another, therefore leaving the demand very high to have more faith-based clinically skilled practices.
