I think you have the right attitude - why potentially waste time and money like that? When I see "Christian counsellor," I don't think they'll proselytize, but I do think that their - shall we say range, in terms of ideas and solutions and treatment? - may be more limited than for a therapist that doesn't advertise themselves as Christian. Maybe it's not fair, but they did choose to advertise themselves that way, and must have known the pros and cons. Heck, if "Catholic therapists" were a thing, I wouldn't see one and I am Catholic.
