Biblical and Christian Counseling in 46157: Monrovia, IN.

As a Christian counselor, I seek God's wisdom and utilize biblical principles to help guide the therapy process. I am always respectful of a client's individual beliefs and never try to impose my beliefs on them. I believe that God sometimes works through me in order to help those who love him. And with God (at the center of therapy) all things are possible!

Traditional therapy services often avoid specifically addressing the spiritual needs of their clients. At Chrysalis Connections Counseling and Training Center we understand that people are inherently relational and have a fundamental need to connect with all aspects of their sense of Self including their spiritual Self. That is why we make spiritually integrated psychotherapy a foundational aspect of our counseling services. Helping you connect with the God of your understanding isn't just a side line. It is one of our primary objectives. We provide Christian pre-marital, couple, family and individual counseling for client's who desire a Biblically based approach to therapy.

When religious beliefs are important to a client, they are also important to include in counseling. Brooke had a religion minor and took seminary courses, but each of our counselors feel comfortable working with clients in this realm without preaching any specific doctrine. We have familiarity with the Protestant Christian faith, Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, etc.

As a Christian therapist, it is not my job to judge you. It isn't my job to change you. It is my job to help you with what you bring to me in our sessions that YOU want to change. I have been through many challenges myself, and I have questioned my faith, so I understand being in different situations. Maybe you are angry at God, maybe you have had a loss and can't understand why God would choose to cause that loss, maybe you are simply wondering about who God is. I can help you go through these from a Christian perspective, as well as, use evidence-based techniques to help you deal with life's many challenges. I want to extend God's healing grace and forgiveness to you.

Christian counseling is so important because we can't separate our faith from who we are or how we want to live in relationship. Our faith deeply affects how we think and how we are in relationship with others, exactly what we need help with in counseling! When we look for guidance to help us through those difficult times in life, we want to talk to someone who not only shares an understanding of how important this is to us, but will also guide us on a path that is in line with our beliefs. From individual issues with spirituality to faith-based couples and family counseling, my paradigm and approach is based on the Bible. My faith is deep, I've been a CHRISTian for 41 years!
