Christian Counseling
UTILIZING FAITH AS RESOURCE
Spiritual integration is always an important part of therapy. Faith based counseling offers an even deeper understanding as Christian elements and biblical principles are used to guide and inform the treatment process.
What is faith based counseling?
For those whose lives are rooted in faith and directed by biblical principles, it is important for your healing to find a counseling professional who shares and appreciates your faith in order to understand the broader picture of your background, boundaries, beliefs, morals and values. Ignoring or misunderstanding the spiritual elements of the client not only does a disservice to you, but can significantly hinder or decrease the benefits of therapy and can become an obstacle for authentic and lasting healing.
We understand that your faith is monumental to your identity and likely plays a huge role to how you view suffering, purpose, and meaning in your life. We appreciate the ways it guides your choices and informs your entire worldview. We use your faith as the foundation for your healing and your most important resource throughout the therapy journey.
Faith based counseling allows counselors to utilize evidence-based techniques and therapeutic modalities that are helpful and effective, with the freedom to integrate the power of prayer, Scripture, and the overt guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Healing from spiritual trauma and abuse
We also recognize the harm, pain, trauma, and abuse that some have suffered within the church at the hands of religious leaders, spiritual members or by being raised with a toxic and overbearing interpretation of a religion or spiritual belief. We are extremely sensitive to this and will gently meet you where you are in your faith journey. We understand the use of prayer and Scripture may not be appropriate for all faith based counseling.
