This is true. However, she is a christian therapist, not a therapist who is christian. We open and close in prayer. She relates things that I say and do to the Bible (she amazes me with how much of the Bible she can recall from memory alone). She is actually a therapist through my church. She is a real therapist though; I go to a mega church where we are afforded such luxuries (and since we are poor, I pay barely anything). I REALLY, really like her and trust her judgement. In the case we were discussing, I can pretty much peg her opinion but that doesn't mean I can't or won't. It just means that I will hear an outsiders view of the situation.
