Counseling

Counseling available online and in our office. (Coffee and water sitting on a table with a comfortable chair nearby.)Oftentimes, when we’re experiencing a difficulty, we’re told to “pray about it”, or that “we’re too sensitive”, or to “deal with it”. Although this advice is meant to be helpful, it doesn’t account for our need of additional support.

Counseling is NOT about someone telling you what to do, correcting you or telling you, you are wrong or bad. It is about looking at what is going on within, feeling, doing, thinking, and learning new skills for dealing with yourself and others in your life and then deciding for yourself how you would like to use news skills and apply them to your life.

Our practice supports you during your transformation by meeting you where and how you are, and helping you to become the best version of yourself.

Individual Sessions

Individual sessions involve one-to-one interaction with a trained counselor. Typically, you would meet once a week or until you feel you have made progress.

Nearly everyone can benefit from individual sessions. It can help you gain insight about yourself and discover the tools you need to achieve goals. For example, people often seek professional help because they feel depressed, experience panic attacks, have trouble dating, feel lonely, or feel fat. Individual sessions help them to develop healthy patterns and routines to cope with life’s ongoing challenges.

Couples Sessions

Whether you’re in a difficult situation or simply want to enhance your relationship with one another, you might be seeking a couples counselor. Our practice is happy to work with any individuals dedicated to working through conflicts or who desire a deeper connection.

Your relationship has three sacred parts – yourself, your partner, and both of you as a couple. We take into consideration your individual histories and needs and how they affect the dynamics of your relationship. We work with all three elements to help bring them together to form a healthy partnership.

Christian Counseling

Christian counseling helps us understand biblical truths as we go about our day-to-day lives. It is not condemning or telling you how to live your life. It’s acknowledging God’s words – Christ’s walk – and applying these principles to strengthen your relationship with God.

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. – 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NLT)

Let us help you apply God’s principles in your life through Christian counseling.

Online Coaching

Telemedicine is the use of telecommunications technology for real-time health care at a distance. Our practice currently uses the internet with great success to work with clients who are unable to visit us in person – or who prefer coaching online. Learn more about the possibilities →

While using the internet as a mode of communication for coaching may seem somewhat unconventional, online video conferencing is an effective, confidential, and convenient alternative to face-to-face sessions.
