Biblical and Christian Counseling in 91962: Pine Valley, CA.

As a Christian and a graduate from Bethel Seminary, I am aware of how a person's spiritual faith is integrated into all aspects of one's life. For many people it is important to find a therapist who understands and values their faith in Jesus Christ. I endeavor to meet each person where they are at in their spiritual journey, respecting individuals from various spiritual backgrounds.

When providing Biblically based counseling, my approach is grounded in the timeless wisdom and teachings of the Scriptures. Recognizing that many individuals seek guidance that aligns with their faith, I integrate biblical principles with therapeutic practices to offer a holistic healing path. Clients benefit from a perspective that merges spiritual growth with emotional well-being. By exploring challenges through the lens of scripture, individuals are empowered to find solace, strength, and direction, drawing closer to their spiritual beliefs while also achieving mental and emotional harmony. This fusion of faith and counseling offers a comprehensive healing journey, anchored in both spirit

Christian counseling involves incorporating one's spiritual beliefs along with the treatment modalities implemented to manage the presenting problem. This can involve helping to resolve feelings of guilt and shame that can get in the way of making one feel hopeless or feeling as though they are being punished. It also means finding the best treatment modalities that are not in conflict with spiritual and/or Christian beliefs.

AS a Christian therapist, I believe that a person's understanding, belief and relationship to Jesus Christ significantly impacts how they perceive themselves, relate to others and deal with life challenges. I utilize pyschological methods and skills to help clients practically apply the principles of the Christian faith in managing and solving their life struggles. Successfully overcoming the struggles of life greatly depends upon hope for the future. I believe that a Christian based approach is affective becasue of the hope found in the person of Jesus Christ. Christian therapy can provide clients the needed confidence and courage to take responsibility for their life situation.
