Christian CounselingHow does Christian counseling differ from other types of counseling? The difference is the belief that it is the Lord that brings true healing and freedom. A Christian counselor is trained in the same methods as others counselors but they center their work with the client on Christ and Biblical principles for living. When Christ heals, He heals completely. He brings freedom and restoration and hope for the future.
Through Christ-centered counseling you can: - find complete freedom from past issues and emotional pain - have a deeper, more intimate relationship with God - learn to have healthy, vibrant relationships - learn communication and conflict skills and how to set healthy boundaries - live a life of joy and freedom from anxiety - overcome behaviors that keep you from living the life you know is possible Individual counselingCounseling can bring you freedom from past issues, trauma, sexual abuse, and old wounds that don't go away.It can help you with current relationships by learning to set boundaries, deal with anger that seems out of control, examine those feelings of being out of place with others and habitually picking the wrong person. You can learn to change destructive behaviors: sabotaging patterns, addictions, and habits that keep you stuck. Is your relationship with Christ not what you want? You can
learn to have more intimacy with Him, work through anger toward God, dispel the distant you feel toward Him, and experience the promises of life with Him. Premarital counselingPremarital Counseling gets you ahead of the game by talking through the issues before the big day. Issues that arise can be managed before the marriage giving you a greater possibility of a wonderful and equipped life together.Sometimes it also shows that a couple, although they love each other, are in for a lifetime of struggle due to their differences. It is better to know this and make an informed decision on whether to proceed then to find yourself in a marriage that is a constant struggle. Premarital Counseling can help you to find whether you are compatible in the areas of: - personality - communication and conflict - finance management - children and parenting - family and friends - role relationships - spiritual beliefs - sexual expectations Premarital Christian counseling will center your marriage in Christ as well as equip you for the best possible marriage. Marriage counselingMarried couples sometimes find themselves needing outside help. Issues and hurts build up and resentment and problems in communication and conflict get in the way of making progress.Counseling will help you relearn, recommit and refocus on getting back on track. I have never seen a marriage fail when both parties are willing to do what is necessary. Through marriage counseling you learn learn: your fear dance, to really know your spouse, communication skills, conflict resolution, personal responsibility, to work together, forgiveness, respect and trust and to love deeper than before.
Counseling is a bit expensive but it is an investment that will pay dividends for a life time. You will be "paying it forward" by finding healing, freedom and help for your life.
