Biblical and Christian Counseling in 33898: Lake Wales, FL.

I am a born-again Christian. As a Christian and a mental health therapist, I understand how important it is to have a Christian counselor. As a Christian therapist, I provide counseling from a Biblical perspective without judging you. Just because you are a Christian doesn't mean you don't suffer from depression, anxiety, stress, and interpersonal issues.

I am absolutely nothing without my relationship with Jesus Christ. That relationship motivates everything I do. I believe there are issues that can only be solved through a relationship with Christ; however, I believe we can sometimes over spiritualize things. With my pastoral background combined with my training as a counselor, we can develop together a practical yet biblical way to address your concerns and struggles. I will also never force my biblical views and convictions on anyone including my clients.

It is important for Christians to understand that belief in Christ does not eliminate the stress, problems, failures or conflicts of life. Seeking help from a Christian counselor permits you to strengthen your resolve when your faith is tested. It helps you combine the mental health tools with truths of the Bible to help you deal with the hardships in your life in a manner that does not conflict with the Bible. In other words, Christian counseling helps you resolve your mental health issues and strengthen your faith.

Our approach to Christian counseling starts with learning the client’s spiritual history and their Christain walk. We adopt a systematic approach by integrating Christ-based principles in therapy. A clinical spiritual assessment is conducted prior to the implementation of any prescribe treatment approach, thereby achieving consistently favorable outcomes. For example, we use the FICA tool: faith, importance, community, and address: • Do you consider yourself a person of faith and how would you describe your faith tradition? • What importance does your faith have in your life? • Are you a member of a local church or faith community? • How would you like me to address these spiritual matter?
