Christian Counseling Inglewood, CA. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

We believe that God, as our Creator, has great wisdom and knowledge to instruct us and to guide our lives. Therefore, looking at His plan for our lives and His plan for the important roles we carry out will result in us gaining a sense of clarity in how to live. As we align our lives with His plan for us, we find greater fulfillment, joy and peace. We facilitate this process of exploration and growth for our clients.

It is important to integrate your thoughts, beliefs, emotions and values in order to achieve a sense of well being. When one of those gets out of alignment it can create great internal conflict and even a spiritual crisis. The focus of therapy is primarily about your relationships and emotional life, however, if you choose to explore it, we will also consider the role your faith plays in who you are.

I practice Catholic and Christian based therapy upon request. I am a practicing and well-formed Catholic who provides couples and family treatment based on Christian and Catholic morality. This does not mean that I can stop or prevent you from making a decision; however, I can work with you to freely process all areas of an issue at play and can bring in my own knowledge and experience of Christianity into the process.

I am a Christian and I am a psychologist. I do not separate these two identities, nor do I believe that you need to separate out your faith and spirituality from your present counseling needs and goals. In fact, I believe the values and beliefs that shape your worldview are integral in psychotherapy -- and I work to take this holistic approach in my therapeutic services. I earned my doctorate at a Christian university (Azusa Pacific University) and the integration of psychology and spirituality was a vital part of my training. I invite you to explore how your faith is impacting your current issues and challenges.

As a Christian who is also a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I chose to receive my undergraduate and graduate degree from a Christian university. I did this because I believe that God has designed all of the proven therapeutic priniciples and truly wants to help hurting people. This training has helped me to utilize a Christian World View to solve psychological problems. As most of my clients are Christians, I pray for them before each session and with them if they desire.

Very often negative thinking, anxiety, depression, trauma, broken relationships and anger can get in the way of God’s plan for us to live wholly and fully. For those seeking a faith-based alternative to traditional therapy, Christian Counseling provides a safe, non-judgmental setting where you can wrestle with life challenges, while having the added support of exploring scripture and bringing it to bear on your current struggles. Whether you are seeking to discuss your faith in depth, or simply want peace of mind in knowing that your therapist “gets” your faith, I would be honored to help guide you on your journey to a fuller understanding of your challenges and how you can best meet them both as a human being and a person of God.

Many people struggle with their faith or struggle with a hurtful event that happened to them in their church. It is very meaningful to work through these events. My specialty is Panic Disorder and this causes much guilt in my Christian clients because they feel they "should" be able to "faith" their way out of it. As a fellow Christian, I feel I can help you deal with your faith issues, and it is not just because you do not have enough faith. Please use your faith, but there is also help.

If you're "equally yoked," why do you experience conflict or heartache? You made a commitment before God, and you want to keep Him in the room as your relationship progresses into something you can call Holy. At CCRG, you'll find Biblical counsel from licensed therapists who can teach you what God wants for you generally, and how you can apply His Word to your life specifically.

The truth in the bible helps us to move towards freedom in our lives. I incorporate biblical principles, scripture memorization and prayer as long as you find it to be a comfort. No preaching... Understanding the promises that God gives us helps to identify peace and connection with Him, and to truly feel the freedom that He provides. Ephesians 3:20 (NLT) Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

I offer this service to inter-faith marriages (Judaeo-Christian) True spirituality expresses itself in the deepest and most profound aspects of our lives, that which affects us in the depths of our personal existence. Both in terms of the communities of faith to which we belong and the personal beliefs to which we are committed, we are guided and informed by the sacred values and spiritual teachings of our personal faith. As such, faith can be a foundation element of the help offered in therapeutic work. For whatever is important in determining the path of one's life must also be reflected in the practices of one's therapy.

I have found through my own experiences and counseling others that Holistic counseling concentration on the whole person (mind, body and soul) step by step. The goal is growth of the whole person. Measuring spiritual well-being in a person’s life determines success of healing and progress of the total person. A significant relationship between faith and better health has been proven in a variety of healthy patient populations. This method of counseling allows one to understand the difference between toxic and nontoxic lifestyles when properly received and applied. It allows one to gather, reflect, journal, revisit and ultimately reach the goal of a full healthy life.
