American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC)

Doctrinal basis. Publishes a Statement of Faith and a Code of Ethics; the statement was not read for this directory.

Points to weigh

• Not confessionally Reformed; it aims to combine ‘biblical truth’ with ‘psychosocial insights’.
• Christians disagree about how far counseling should draw on clinical psychology. Biblical counselors (for example CCEF and ACBC) and Christian clinicians (for example CAPS and AACC members) take different positions; see ‘Psychology and Christianity: Five Views’.
• Neither this list nor any book replaces a licensed clinician or doctor. If you or someone you know is in crisis or danger, call your local emergency number or, in the U.S., call or text 988.
