Independent licensed private practice for adults (ages 18-up). Provide personal therapeutic help that is distinctively Christian. Services cover anything that interferes with well-being and peace of mind (anxiety, depression, futility, hopelessness, relationship issues, negative self-worth, etc.). Also provide comprehensive career counseling which incorporates an extensive battery of vocational and psychological testing and is custom-tailored to each individual's unique gifts and experiences. This latter service is especially for those who are totally undecided about their purpose or career direction, discontented with their current job and/or perhaps unemployed and need direction for changing career paths and/or need a basis for selection of appropriate training.Description of office policies:

Philosophy of Christian counseling:
Practice works with individuals of all faiths or those with no particular belief system. Christian beliefs are exposed when appropriate and never imposed. Practice is grounded in sound psychological, therapeutical, and scriptural principles; is led by the Holy Spirit. Unconditional acceptance based upon Christian love is a cornerstone. The dignity and value of each recipient is honored and respected. Practice focuses upon helping persons transform from a state of vulnerability and hopelessness into an image of operating in authority over well-being and peace of mind; from fear and helplessness into empowerment. The individual learns how to renew their mind based upon who the truth of scripture says they are in Christ: victims being transformed into more than conquerers; stongholds being dismantled; freedom, wholeness and JOY being restored.
