Individual Counseling

Christian Counseling accesses your faith to help you attain resolve and healing. Our team of Licensed Professional Counselors help you as their client to better manage and resolve life’s troubles and trials through mental health counseling. Counseling from a Christian perspective incorporates spiritual principles, Biblical truths, and a seeking of God’s will for your life. Faith plays a very important role. This faith based approach will help you through life’s challenges. As a client, we will provide you a full comprehensive assessment with diagnosis, and design a treatment approach that best suits your needs. 

Who should seek Individual Counseling? 

Anyone experiencing difficulty in dealing with a personal issue or mental health struggle should seek guidance and care from a counselor. The inherent goal of Christian based counseling is to address a broad range of personal, relationship, social, and mental wellness issues. Christian counselors use a variety of materials, tools, and psychological techniques, including prayer and scripture, to help you combat and overcome your affliction(s).

Many areas of individual concern that we typically address are:

• Anxiety 
• Depression
• Trauma/PTSD
• Grief and Loss
• Addictions & Abuse (Pornography/Alcohol/Drug/Food)
• Life/Work Stress and Balance
• Identity, Self-esteem and Self-confidence
• Questioning Faith and Beliefs 
• Relationship Difficulty/Connection

An integral part of Individual Counseling will involve leading you through the process of using coping strategies. Coping strategies are the behaviors, thoughts, and emotions that you use to adjust to the changes that occur in your life. Effective coping leans toward focusing on ways to tackle an issue in order to reduce stress around a given situation followed by attempts to reduce the negative outcome. This way you can better adjust to the many changes that occur throughout life. Your counselor may teach you some coping skills such as release of emotions, meditative prayer, problem solving, and/or some relaxation and calming techniques. 

A Holistic Approach

We believe that counseling should be a holistic process that addresses the mind, body and spirit. Christian counselors ensure that faith and spirituality is an integral part of their sessions. The Bible tells us that we are psychological, physical, and spiritual beings. This means that all three dimensions have a key role to play in our health and well-being. 

Christian counselors recognize that a healing, caring, and loving God created each individual to be unique. We pray for our clients that God will carefully direct the experiences of each person receiving care at Christian Counseling Services Inc. Our calling in Christ is to assist you in life’s journey to become the individual that God has designed and destined you to be.
