Christian counselor directory and software bundles: compare the full cost

Compare Find Faith Therapy's annual Premier bundle with separate listings and practice software, including Psychology Today, AACC, Carepatron and more.

Published by Find Faith Therapy. Prepared with AI assistance.

A directory helps people find your practice. Practice software helps you administer it. When you need both, compare the full combination you will actually use rather than the smallest advertised subscription. Find Faith Therapy's annual Premier plan brings Christian counselor discovery and practice tools together for $359.88 per counselor, paid upfront for the year.

That makes the annual bundle a strong option for an independent Christian counselor who wants a public profile plus scheduling, a counselee portal, forms, counselor-written notes and connected payments. It is not automatically the lowest-cost choice: a free directory profile or free software plan may meet a smaller need. The comparisons below help you decide which purchase solves your actual problem.

Start with the bundle you want to keep for a year

For new purchases, Growth costs $14.99 monthly or $179.88 annually. Premier Individual and Premier Practice cost $29.99 monthly or $359.88 annually per counselor. Annual Premier includes Growth for that covered counselor for the paid year. Monthly Premier is practice software; Growth is a separate purchase if you also want the paid directory features.

The annual benefit is the included Growth subscription. It is not an additional reduction in the regular Premier software rate: twelve payments of $29.99 also total $359.88. Compare the same twelve-month recurring period, before tax, processing charges and any eligible new Individual trial. Existing subscribers retain their accepted terms.

Where Find Faith Therapy gives a Christian practice more value

Against the specific monthly FFT combination above, annual Premier costs $179.88 less in base subscriptions over twelve months. The practical advantage is keeping a Christian-focused directory presence and practice administration in one platform. A counselor can describe a supported Christian counseling scope in the profile and use the selected private tools after completing the required workspace setup.

Premier Practice extends the same per-counselor pricing to a team, with no separate practice fee and free administrative-only roles. Five full-price annual counselor subscriptions total $1,799.40 and include Growth for those five covered counselors. Paying for a subscription, joining a team and granting access to private records remain separate actions. Sponsoring a counselor does not by itself permit reading notes.

NCCA pricing is conditional on each counselor's accepted current-year membership evidence and the applicable renewal rules. The standard annual member Premier amount is $269.91; twelve $22.49 monthly payments total $269.88 because of invoice rounding. Do not treat that three-cent difference as an extra annual discount. A member benefit does not establish clinical credentials or guaranteed referrals.

Compare directory purchases with other directory purchases

Psychology Today, TherapyDen, GoodTherapy, AACC's Christian Care Connect, Christian Counselor Directory and ACBC serve different audiences and purposes. A free shareable profile, paid search inclusion, a professional association, and a certification directory are different offers. Read the linked individual comparisons before adding a listing fee to a software quote.

Christian Care Connect's registration page, for example, offers an individual $99 annual option as well as a monthly option. That annual directory purchase is below regular FFT Growth's $179.88 annual price. Christian specialization alone is also not unique to FFT: Christian Care Connect, Christian Counselor Directory and ACBC have their own faith-specific purposes. FFT's case is strongest when you want its particular discovery tools and annual software bundle, rather than simply the cheapest faith-specific listing.

Compare software capabilities before claiming a saving

Carepatron has a free plan, while SimplePractice and TherapyNotes also offer directory features with their software subscriptions. It would be inaccurate to call FFT the only software-and-directory bundle. Sessions Health offers another distinct practice-software option. Check the individual articles for each product's current plan, billing cadence, limits and extras.

FFT is built around independent Christian counselors, but that focus does not replace a feature you require. Meetings take place through an external provider such as Google Meet; FFT does not provide built-in telehealth or insurance claims processing. Google connection, counselor MFA, the applicable practice agreement, and a connected Stripe account for payments require setup. Payment processing and counseling-session fees are separate from FFT subscriptions. Choose another product if its clinical, insurance or video workflow is the requirement that decides the purchase.

Use a short purchase worksheet for your own practice

Write down the directory, software, number of paid counselors, required add-ons and actual payment schedule you would choose. Mark an unconfirmed amount as unknown rather than zero. For annual plans, record the upfront commitment; for monthly plans, calculate twelve payments without disguising that total as an annual-upfront offer. Put temporary discounts and trial eligibility in a separate column.

Then rehearse one ordinary task: receiving an introduction, creating the authorized client relationship, completing forms, scheduling and recording your own notes. Evaluate the features you can actually configure. Choose annual FFT Premier when its Christian counselor focus and included Growth solve that workflow at a price you accept. Choose Growth alone when visibility is your only need. Keep a free or alternative product when it already meets your requirements. No subscription comparison establishes future appointments, clients or income.
