Christian counselors support individuals not only through their psychological challenges but also in their spiritual journey, promoting overall well-being in a faith-based context.

Individual counseling is a process through which clients work one-on-one with a trained pastoral counselor in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. Individual counseling is a personal opportunity to receive support and experience growth during challenging times in one’s life. It can help one deal with many personal topics such as anxiety, depression, anger, substance abuse, trauma, marriage and relationship challenges, parenting problems, career changes, and school difficulties.

Over time, every couple experience ups and downs in their marriage. This can range anywhere from concerns of a stagnant marriage to serious aggressive behaviors. Marriage counseling can help resolve conflicts and heal wounds. Overall, marriage counseling can help couples from their downward spiral and re-establish realistic expectations and goals.

Family counseling is often sought due to a life change or stress that negatively affects one or every area of a family such as closeness, communication, or family structure rules and roles. Sometimes it’s best to see an entire family together for several sessions in order to address concerns about parenting issues, sibling conflict, loss of a family member, a new addition to the family, dealing with a major move, or an illness that has affected the family system.

Christian life coach integrates faith and practical strategies to help individuals achieve their personal and spiritual goals, providing a supportive and encouraging environment grounded in Christian values.

If stress contributes to your emotional eating, this group will be good for you. This group will teach you how to gain control over emotional eating and give you tools to help with your stress.
