Christian Counseling Antioch, IL. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

I am a Christian and fully-devoted follower of Jesus Christ, and have been for over 34 years. If you are looking for someone who has studied the Bible for years, has read hundreds of Christian books and has a tremendously high level of passion to help others find God, ask tough questions about God, or is just searching spiritually and wants to understand Christianity at a deeper level, it would be my privilege to meet with you. I have personally helped dozens of people come into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. I am a Christian counselor, and I also enjoy counseling people who are spiritual 'seekers' and are simply curious about the things of God.

Why is it so hard to find a good therapist? Finding a therapist that has similar beliefs and values as you can be disheartening. I am a therapist who is also a Christian. I specialize in working with youth ages 3-25 who have experienced something stressful like a divorce, bullying, self-harm or abuse. I also work with adult relationships, and grief and loss. I practice from my values and beliefs, but use my knowledge of human behaviors to help families and youth. Spiritual components are mainly client-directed. Don't hesitate to call today to see if we are a good match!

We have therapists that take a Christian approach in therapy and adhere to Bible-based counselling. We often talk about the bio-psycho-social spiritual. However, many times the spiritual part is left out of the discussion when it can be a great component of the human experience. We use Chrisitan counseling to explore past hurts and traumas that may have even happened in the church and then, we reprocess those experiences.

Originally in training as a pastor, I sought to understand how the truth in God's Word affects mental health and contributes to healthy relationships. The wisdom in the Bible needs to be mined. But Christian counseling is not merely wisdom, it is knowing Christ. It is something real, an interaction that has to be experienced. The Bible gives us the guidance we need.

My Christian faith is integrated into my life and work, and who I am as a person. My years of experience in pastoral care in various church settings, as well as my graduate training at Wheaton College in Illinois, has enabled me to competently discuss, and explore issues of faith and application with a broad range of believers. I am familiar with many denominations and faith practices, and welcome including the Bible in our work together, if desired. Know that I pray privately for all my clients each day, and am open to including prayer in our session as well. Let me know if you have further questions about my faith and how you would like me to work with you.
