It’s excruciating to think with how limited our (assuming American) available resources are for healthcare and they use it on shit that couldn’t stand any scientific scrutiny. People need help and they’re fucking around with the equivalent of ouiji boards and candles. And getting paid for it.
I've see zoos doing acupuncture and "cryotherapy" on elephants and kangaroos.

JFC, don't get me started on vets quackery. It's just shameful.

Our vet(s) say if they don't offer the quackery they loose clients to the vets that do. I blame the internet kooks. Just like with Donny, if you repeat the lie's long enough some will come to believe.

Is Jesusland the USA? If so, take a look at the Secular Therapy Project, (link below):-

It's cheaper to send a person to an acupuncturist or chiropractor than to send them to a real doctor. The VA does it for the same reason that car insurance companies made them a thing to begin with.

I don't think it really matters if a therapist/doctor/clinician is Christian or not. It becomes a concern when they feel the need to advertise that they are Christian on their website, etc. That's red flag territory.
A good, ethical therapist is going to focus on what you need and not on their belief system.

^^ this. When I did some CBT with a psychologist, her website had her academic achievements and post grads. No religion mentioned, but she had a crucifix on her so like the vast majority here, I assume catholic. She did a good job and we worked great, not a single mention in religion during sessions. This is Portugal and they have a deontological council (is it the right word in english?), that oversees their work.
I have to agree that the need to post "christian" in any professional website raises flag. Red.
