Biblical and Christian Counseling in 98597: Yelm, WA.

Rob & Dori are passionate about changing lives. Approximately 40% of our clientele self-identify as Christian. We are Christians, and yet we are far from religious or dogmatic. When clients contacts us, they seek outstanding professional help, whether they are Christian, Agnostic, Atheist or any other religion. If you seek religious guidance only, we suggest contacting your faith's organization. Christian clients desire a grounded Biblical approach. Mental health, relational success, and overall emotional healing requires experience, and scientific and educated wisdom. Integrity, character, and foundational values also greatly assist and influence clients' health.

I specialize in working with couples whether married or in a dating relationship, my training and experience (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) is centered around working within the context of marriage and relationships. I am a Christian who is a counselor, while not trained in Biblical Counseling; I support the Christian Faith and your beliefs. I welcome the discussion of faith in all sessions and will support its use in helping you through the difficulties you are experiencing.

The basic message of the Bible is that God loves us, and does so not because we have earned this love, but simply because God chooses to love us because of who God is. We live our lives trying to find out what this means in everyday life, sometimes living as though we have to do something to deserve this love, and other times living as though it is impossible to be loved. I believe Christian counseling is at its heart simply finding out how to integrate God's love for us into our lives.

Healing and redemption are the heart of the Gospel. Broken people turn to God to find love and hope. I counsel from a Christian perspective that teaches how a Biblical response to suffering in the world will always apply grace and forgiveness to every relationship we encounter. This approach is transformative for individuals, couples, and families as the Gospel message is experienced in every aspect of their lives.

If you’re looking for a counselor who will incorporate faith-based values, encourage your beliefs, and walk with you on your journey in Jesus Christ, then I’m happy to be of service. Christian counseling is about finding the path God has intended for you, while drawing strength and guidance from His word. Being a Christian doesn’t mean you’re perfect from the start. Although we strive to please our Father, we still face battles and temptations. Thankfully, there is hope. Jesus promises freedom from the bondage of sin for all those who believe. You can live a righteous, fulfilling life. I’m here to walk with you and offer support each step of the way.

As a Christian therapist, I am committed to helping people overcome their difficulties so they can find the freedom that God intends for us. I believe that God uses our brokenness to help us transform and grow closer to Him. With the help of a compassionate counselor, we can safely explore our deepest, most vulnerable parts and find the healing we need. I work with issues such as marriage/relationship difficulties, addictions, co-addictions, anxiety & stress, depression, grief/loss, and spiritual healing.
