Christian Counseling
Thinking outside of one’s circumstances to gain deeper meaning often times helps clients gain perspective and reframe their thinking and begin to shift their lives in a new direction. You are not alone and we serve a God who cares deeply about you. Many of my clients who have sought out faith-based counseling have greatly benefited from the power of prayer for support and leaning into Biblical scripture and principles for guidance to overcome challenges. Surrendering our situation to God while getting the support we need can have positive, long-standing implications in learning to trust that with Him, we can overcome our greatest challenges and gain strength to move forward despite adversity.
According to a nationwide survey by the American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC), 83% of Americans believe their spiritual faith and religious beliefs are closely tied to their state of mental and emotional health.
Three-quarters have stated it's important for them to work with a therapist who integrates their values and beliefs into the counseling process. And more respondents said they would prefer to see a religious counselor (29%) than a psychiatrist (27%), psychologist (17%), or family doctor (13%).
If you or someone you love is interested in exploring faith-based counseling, please get in touch with me. I would be happy to discuss how I may be able to help.
