Biblical and Christian Counseling in 30531: Cornelia, GA.

Counseling that comes from a Christian perspective takes into consideration the truth that is in psychology and counseling theory as well as the full truth which is in the Bible. It treats each person with respect and freedom of choice. The counselor addresses not only the individual’s thoughts and feelings, but also their spirit. By addressing not only the emotional and psychological aspects of the person, but also incorporating the spiritual component can, not only lead to healing, but to wholeness as well, with the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

I consider myself to be a professional counselor with a pastoral heart. My Christian faith informs all that I do personally and professionally. When working with a person of faith, I incorporate scripture and Christian principles as I seek to address whatever brings the client in for therapy. My approach is not solely from this perspective as I also employ evidence based professional counseling practice. However, faith is an enormous strength that clients can use to overcome problems and improve all aspects of their lives.

I believe that all truth (even psychological truths if they align with Biblical truth) is God's truth and specifically that the Bible is God's guide for Christian living and for a personal relationship to Him. Specifically the deepest healing takes place in our hearts when we know that we know we are His unconditionally beloved child. Knowing our value, our identity in Christ, provides a foundation for life from the heart that no counseling theory could ever impart. I can assist Christian clients who want help to develop a heart knowledge of Father God and to integrate a practical theology into their counseling goals.
