How is your Christian counseling different than secular training? Even though our counselors are trained in secular counseling methods, we focus on the spiritual aspects of your life at a deeper level applying the principles of God's word, help you grow spiritually, and developing a personal relationship with God that can truly set you free.
Do you use secular methods in your counseling that contradict the Bible? No. But we do not reject evidence-based research according to Romans 1:20 that is a valid understanding of God's creation.
Do you provide free counseling? If a client does not have mental health counseling insurance and is not able to pay for their counseling, we do offer pastoral counseling at a reduced fee, a sliding fee based on yearly income and free counseling provided by students in our counseling training program.
Do I have to be "saved" to come to your counseling center? No! And we will never pressure you to commit your life to God but we might suggest salvation as a option that you might want to consider especially if your life is totally out of control. Your personal past experiences and beliefs simply provide the background on which we my need to build your future.
