Christian Counseling Lake St Louis, MO. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

Christian Counseling is a form of therapy which gives a person of faith the best of both worlds: 1) the best, scientifically proven approaches secular therapists use, 2) all completely guided by God’s Word and directed by the Holy Spirit. As a result of inviting a-God-who-cares into the therapeutic process, the client receives not only greater encouragement and hope, but also specific, practical solutions that decrease anxiety and stress and produce direction and strength, both to individuals and to families. As an active Christian Counselor for 12 years, time and again I’ve seen God’s Word and prayer provide a breakthrough even in the face of what seemed insurmountable challenges.

As an Integrative Christian Counselor, everything starts with my view of all people through the same lens as fallen and broken people in need of grace for salvation from our sins. In session, since I believe the Bible has a lot to say about our current condition, I often use Scripture. However, it is one component. Along with developing a working relationship, I use many different theories and approaches to help people process through their current difficulties.

A biblical worldview in which God is the Creator of all men, has made mankind in His image undergirds my entire approach to counseling/change. This worldview places value on who we are as much as it does on what we think. It addresses the brokenness of all relationships and offers hope for healing. Foremost, it acknowledges that God as the essential relationship needed for transformational change to occur.
