Counseling for the whole person from the whole of Scripture
What is Christian counseling and why do people need it?
1
Counseling helps us make sense of our lives as we see our story and the story of the Lord more clearly.
Our lives are not individual moments disconnected from our past and unimportant in our future. We are whole people whose relationships, interactions, thoughts, sorrows, and joys are woven together to form who we are. That whole story is being written and overseen by the God of the Universe who loves us and enters into our stories. Christian counseling helps us makes sense of our lives by seeing how our stories have shaped us and where the Lord has been and is in the middle of it all.

We live in the midst of a broken world which is often difficult and disorienting… so counseling is for everyone.
We walk by faith and not by sight, and that faith is not yet complete. We all need help to see through the fog that sorrow, suffering, strife, and stress cause in our lives. Counseling is the process of walking with a faithful guide through the ups and downs of life. Counselors aren’t healers, but we are trained to help you see the one who heals, and experience that healing when life makes the Lord and our place in his story hard to get our arms around.
