Our Approach
Learn about Teen Counseling and Adult Counseling and the Biblical foundations of our practice.
In Scripture, the heart is the center of our being, spoken of in three faculties: our affections, our thoughts, and our decisions.
These can be summed up by the three images of head, heart, and hands.
We need a reorientation of the heart with new affections that mourn evil and rejoice in the truth.
All counselors hold a set of commitments, ideals, and principles that guide the counseling process.
For the counselor, Who I am is as important as what I do in counseling.
