“The LORD is near to the brokenhearted, And saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Psalms 34:18
From time to time, everyone faces crisis and trouble. During these times, just having someone who cares enough to listen can mean a lot.
Whatever your struggle, our goal in counseling is to instill hope where
there once was hopelessness, peace of mind where there was once confusion,
and
joy where there once was sorrow.
We provide…
- counseling from a distinctly Christian perspective in keeping with the Gospel message and love of Jesus Christ
- compassionate help so you can understand your problems as you search for solutions
- professional care from a well-trained and well-supervised staff of counselors

The Counseling Process
Session 1
- Because each person’s situation is different, the initial session is an opportunity for you to share the problems you are facing so that we can understand how we can be of service to you.
Session 2
- Based on what you have shared, an action plan will be developed to help you reach the solutions you are seeking.
- Specific goals will be set and action steps developed. All sessions will revolve around your personal goals, but will also involve commitment and action.
- Success requires hard work and determination. You and your counselor will work together as a team to help you achieve your goals and all that God has for you.
Additional Sessions
- These sessions are dedicated to helping you implement the plans you have made to reach the goals you have set.
- These sessions allow you to overcome obstacles or conflicts that often surface along the way.
- Action plans can be modified as you progress, but will always be done so with your overall goals in mind.
