Who Can Benefit from Christian Counseling?

For those whose faith is an important part of their life, any struggles or difficulties are not only emotional/mental health concerns, but spiritual ones as well. You want a counselor who not only acknowledges that, but understands, supports and addresses it in your therapy sessions. You want someone who can relate to you and to your deep faith.

For people of faith, there’s more to life than just getting through it. You’re also on a spiritual journey, so to speak, and as such you’ll have the usual challenges and hardships along the way. When our emotional and spiritual health are in sync, we’re in a place where guidance from a faith-based perspective can help us weather those tough situations and even grow stronger because of them.

What Can Christian Counseling Help With?

In this fast-paced, often secular world, one can get out of touch with their faith as the demands and stresses of daily life close in. BUT, this is the time that we need our faith more than ever! Our Christian counselor understands what you’re going through, and can help you to reconnect with their faith even while addressing the emotional and mental health issues you may be facing as well.

  • Marital or relationship problems
  • Parenting guidance
  • Mental illness
  • Grief and loss
  • Personal goal setting and development
  • Self-esteem issues
  • Substance abuse and addiction

Should I Pursue Christian Counseling?
