For Christians

Dr Linda Nguy is committed to providing care for Christians facing mental illness. While she is here to serve the wider community, she has a heart for providing therapy services to Christians that acknowledges the place of God in our lives.

She seeks to uphold God’s ways and God’s values as she works towards addressing the challenges that are faced by those dealing with mental health difficulties.

As Christians, we are not immune to the consequences of living in a broken world. Part of living in this world on this side of eternity is that conditions like depression, anxiety etc. (i.e. sickness) may affect us directly or via friends & family. The secular field of mental health research and training can help us understand some of the factors that contribute to illness (in the same way that other health research and training helps us understand other medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease) and teach us practical skills and strategies to help us to live out God’s word in our lives.

As you face struggles with mental health, remember that we have a sovereign, loving and powerful God. We have the Holy Spirit here to help us. We also have the gift of salvation that provides a context to respond to life in a Christ-like manner. And we have the hope of eternity with God.

Together with many Christians around the world, Dr Linda Nguy upholds the following Statement of Faith.

Statement of Faith

Dr Linda Nguy believes the fundamental truths of the Christian faith, including:

  • The divine inspiration and infallibility of Holy Scripture as originally given and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

  • The unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the Godhead.

  • The universal sinfulness and guilt of humanity since the fall, rendering men and women subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.

  • The conception of Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit and his birth by the Virgin Mary.

  • Redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin only through the sacrificial death, as our representative and substitute, of Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God.

  • The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

  • The necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit to make the death of Christ effective in the individual sinner, granting him or her repentance towards God, and faith in Jesus Christ.

  • The indwelling and work of the Holy Spirit in the believer.

  • The expectation of the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Finances are often tight for bible college students & missionaries. To support these Christian workers and those in full-time training for this work, and to reduce financial barriers to receiving psychological care when needed, Dr Linda Nguy offers concessional rates to this group upon request where they are self-funding their sessions. Initial consultations are charged at the standard fee.
