There are many folks and couples today that have a “spiritual identity” that they wish to explore.  Incorporating Christian counseling can be beneficial to many as it not only leads one to reflect on the essence of their being, but incorporating God in to the therapy as an additional support system.

Biblical passages are utilized as the christian counselor can sometimes identify many of lifes common struggles in the bible, and subsequently search the bible for spiritual answers.  How to face lifes challenges from a spiritual perspective can be quite rewarding, as God not only directs and encourages his believers to lean on him during difficult times, but to love and forgive others when appropriate.

Messages of hope and love abound in the bible and a skilled Christian Counselor can incorporate these messages into the therapy sessions thus bringing a new dimension of understanding  into ones struggles.

The purpose of the Christian counselor is to help people in the name of Christ. The Bible offers many passages of advice that can help restore and sustain spiritual, mental, emotional and physical anguish and pain.  It can be a wonderful resource.
