What Is Christian Counseling
Christian Counseling is when a therapist who has a thorough understanding of the science behind counseling as well as a relationship with religion, & desires to work with others in the community within that relationship. The common bond of a love and respect for God enhances the counseling relationship, and the therapist can speak to the client in terms of spirituality as well as science. Prayer is a vital component in the counseling process. The therapist, as a Christian counselor, helps the client walk through issues such as trauma, parenting, family, and marital issues through proven counseling strategies with a basis that aligns with Christian religion. We have also experienced the rough roads of life and have found that facing these areas openly and honestly has brought a renewed passion to life, restoration to relationships with others, and a deepening in our relationship with God. It is out of this that we seek to come alongside and encourage you as you experience the rough roads of life. Call our office today to schedule an appointment with a Christian counselor!
The things which are impossible with men are possible with God!

Christian Counseling on Parent/Child Difficulties
As we all grow and change, we become different people. We change our beliefs, our attitudes, and tolerance for different types of behavior.
As toddlers enter school age, as children become teenagers, or as teens enter into adulthood there will inevitably be times when what parents think is best and what they feel is right for their children will differ dramatically. Everyone spends their lives forming their identities and trying to find a comfortable level of self-acceptance that allows them to function in the larger world.
Counseling for parent and child difficulties can help each of you find your voice, express your feelings and learn to compromise for the sake of trying to live together in harmony. While you may have disagreements, learning to communicate and resolve issues as they arise will help you both build a stronger relationship and become healthier people.
