Biblical and Christian Counseling in 37029: Burns, TN.

Brian's Christian faith is the central factor in his life, and provides him with strength and hope based on the incredible grace that he finds in Christ. He intentionally sought out training that integrated psychology and Christian theological learning. Though not all of his patients share this faith, or wish to look at their issues through this frame, Brian is trained and glad to address issues from this perspective. Brian is also a member of Christ Community Church in Franklin, and is so thankful for the community of grace that he finds there.

If you're seeking counseling from a faith-based perspective, I offer Christian counseling that integrates your beliefs into the therapeutic process. Grounded in biblical principles and therapeutic techniques, this approach allows us to seek guidance and support from a higher power. Through prayer, scripture, and reflection, we'll explore your challenges and find strength to overcome them. In the presence of God's love and grace, healing and growth are possible. Whether you're facing personal struggles or seeking guidance in your relationships, Christian counseling can help you find peace and direction in alignment with your faith.

Co-author of several books with his mentor, Dr. Gary Chapman, Presson is a charter member of AACC (American Association of Christian Counselors -- www.aacc.net ) since 1986 and the most published practicing Christian therapist in TN with over two decades of experience. Says Presson, "I know Christian counseling is a broad term but what it means to me is blending Scriptural truth and sound psychology with grace and with the gentleness of Christ."

C.S. Lewis reminds us that "you have never met a mere mortal". As a Christian counselor, the idea that each of us is created in the image of God has profound implications for how I engage with my clients. When clients more fully embrace their God-given design, including their deepest longings, and also come to recognize some strategies for fulfilling those desires that may be at odds with God's purposes, real growth becomes possible. Happiness in life then becomes the byproduct, rather than the goal, of true progress.

We are not officially Biblical counselors, but are all capable of integrating your Christian beliefs into therapy effectively. Brooke has a background in pastoral counseling where spiritual integration is a very regular practice, and all of our clinicians are able to explore the role that your faith beliefs play in your emotions and choices. Anyone of any faith is welcome to ask for spiritual integration into therapy.

Choosing a therapist who is a great fit for you is not easy and is a crucial piece to effective therapy. If your faith is of prime importance to you, this task can be even more daunting. If you are looking for a therapist who shares your faith in Christ and desires to honor that in our work together but also approaches you with curiosity and compassion, taking the time to get to know you and your unique life story, then I may be a good fit for you.
