FAQ about Christian Counseling

What if I am of another faith or non-religious?
Many of our clients identify as non-religious, non-spiritual, or non-Christian. We desire for every person to feel welcomed, accepted, and comfortable. As licensed professionals, we honor the personal beliefs and convictions of the clients we serve.  We offer services to all people regardless of ethnicity, gender identity, race, religion, sexual orientation, or culture. We respect each person who sits in our office, and recognize that everyone comes to us with their own perspectives on God and faith.  Clients choose if and how they would like to incorporate their personal faith or spirituality into counseling.
What is Christian counseling?
Christian clients who seek to develop their faith can be sure to find a competent counselor here who can walk with them on their journey of spiritual development with grace.   We view Christian Counseling as a healing relationship—one where we enter deeply into the lives of those in pain and crisis to bring them to a place where they can love God, love others, and love themselves. After all, most lasting wounds come through relationships. We believe lasting healingdoes as well.  Anyone preferring not to include spirituality in the counseling process will not be forced to do so.
