PHILOSOPHY OF COUNSELING

Our role as counselors is to empower individuals by providing information, perspective, and prayer ministry, to facilitate growth and change in the individual’s life. We see a need to integrate psychological and spiritual issues in helping people to deal more effectively with their life issues. We embrace a Biblical view of life and relationships. We believe God’s Word provides clear and dependable guidelines for living. Through psycho-educational and cognitive-behavioral interventions, we will provide information and strategies for change. In understanding family systems and relational patterns, clients will gain perspective about themselves and their place in relationships.

Removing symptoms is not the same as healing the cause. We believe that it is God who brings change and healing to an individual. It is the work of the counselor to encourage and pray for this process.
