Christian Counseling Weddington, NC. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

My approach to Christian counseling is from an integrative perspective. What this means is while I use clinical interventions and theory, it is with an understanding of a Christian worldview. While I was being trained as a professional counselor, my graduate coursework also included theology as my degree was awarded by Dallas Theological Seminary. This training provides proven clinical interventions in keeping with the Christian values of my clients. Seminary training has allowed me to understand the role of faith and a range of beliefs within the Christian worldview. If you have any questions as to how this would apply in session, please feel free to ask me.

I am a Christian Counselor and believe that ultimately it is God in Christ who heals and restores. As a Christian Counselor I offer Professional Counseling services from a Christian worldview. I view evidence based and scientifically validated psychological treatment approaches as useful tools which God can use to help and restore hurting people. I also believe that God in Christ provides healing and restoration and he does this in the context of community and prayer. I often will pray for and with my clients in session and encourage them in their spiritual journey. My goal is to view and help the whole person through biological, psychological, social and spiritual perspectives.

The lies that we believe about ourselves may cause low self-esteem, feeling unloved and feeling insignificant. As Christian counselors, we help our clients to discover their unique design and purpose that God has for them and guide our clients in the process of recognizing their self-worth on the basis of God's love, forgiveness and acceptance of us. Christian Counseling helps those that want to incorporate Biblical truths in their healing process to trust God in their difficulties and rely on Him when things seem to be out of control. You will be able to find peace and joy by learning more about God's character and learning to trust in His love and His good will for your life.

For those who wish to have a Christian approach to their therapy, I see faith as a strength in the process of healing. Everyone is on a different journey with with their faith. This is a place where you can bring your spiritual doubts, any harm done by your spiritual community, and a place where you are encouraged to grow in how you relate with God. Your relationship with God impacts how you connect with yourself and others. We can incorporate biblical principles, verses, and prayer as part of the process and they contribute to well-being. The greatest change seems to come from looking at how we relate with God in the midst of our struggles.

It can be a scary thing to go to counseling and have no idea whether or not your personal values or beliefs will be honored and respected. Rest assured, I am happy to work with you in context of your faith. I'm a Christian familiar with the Bible and would love to use scripture and spirituality to help you pursue the things that are meaningful in your life.
