Christian Counseling VS Secular Counseling
Christian counseling and secular counseling both share the same desire to help people overcome their problems, find meaning and joy in life, and become healthy and well-adjusted individuals mentally and emotionally.
Christian counseling is distinct from secular counseling in that it incorporates the spiritual dimension, Biblical truths, and a seeking of God’s will in an individual’s life. By using biblical concepts in counseling, they can sometimes provide specific direction and accountability. Psalm 119:24 says, "Your statutes are my delight; they are my counselors."
A good place to start for personal support!
At any time in life, individuals, couples or families can be confronted by uncertainties and life experiences which threaten to exhaust emotional and spiritual resources. By coming to counseling, YOU can learn how God's Word is applied to life situations, how to let go and forgive, as Christ has forgiven you, and how to acquire skills to make changes and to live on a more emotional and cognitive level with issues such as:
-Personal/spiritual growth
-Grief
-Women’s issues
-Childhood sexual abuse
-Relationships
-Self-esteem
-Divorce/marital Issues
