God's Place in Your Counseling
In the past, many Christians have neglected to get the help they need from a counselor because they were afraid their belief in God would be ignored or, worse, belittled. Our counselors at Covenant Counseling Center share your faith and are highly respectful of our clients who hold Christian beliefs.
In Covenant Counseling Center's therapy sessions, it is common to pray, discuss recent sermons, and explore Scripture for healthy mental and emotional habits. Our counselors find that our shared beliefs help to build trust with clients. And trust is the most important thing between client and counselor.
Areas Where Faith-Based Counseling is Particularly Helpful
Throughout life, we all face different crises and challenges. During these times, we turn to our faith.
The following are situations where faith-based counseling can be particularly beneficial:
Marital Issues
Faith-based therapy can explore God's Word to help husbands and wives find their way back to one another through love, kindness, and respect.
The Challenges of Parenting
None of us are given an instruction manual for how to raise our children. But the Bible certainly contains wisdom and lessons that are applicable to parents.
Anxiety and Depression
There are many ways to deal with and treat anxiety and depression. From cognitive-behavioral therapy to medications, traditional therapy can definitely help. But for many, the real strength and answers they are seeking come from their Christian faith.
Loss of a Loved One
Sooner or later, all of us must deal with the loss of loved ones. While therapy can help take us through the steps of grieving, our faith is what helps us to truly heal, because we know we will see our loved ones someday.
