Biblical and Christian Counseling in 77493: Katy, TX.

Faith is an integral part of my practice. For me, all the best counseling techniques and coping skills in the world are not enough without God. Our relationship with God can become complicated and confusing at times. Sometimes it feels like He isn't even there. It's okay to feel angry or abandoned by God. But when you turn to Him he does hear you. My counseling is not a bible study, but bringing Christ into my sessions is important to me.

As a Christian therapist, I will support you in the values and standards that are so important to you. You are welcome to bring scripture guidance and prayer into our session. I practice the admonition to "judge not", which frees us to explore your life challenges in a compassionate and caring environment. Christians struggle with the same life challenges as others. Forgiveness, self-acceptance, humlity, personal spiritual growth, grace, joy, and compassion are part of the message of Jesus Christ. In my practice, I combine recognized, professional therapeutic practice with the values of our faith. You are welcome to call me for an appointment.

I and the other Laetare Group counselors are devoted to giving you a professional counseling experience guided by faith, hope, and compassion.

We help you not because you may be Christian but because we are Christians.

In this hectic day and age, many individuals and families experience emotional problems as a result of their lifestyle and actions being disconnected from their spiritual principles. In the therapeutic relationship, we explore the religious and spiritual values that are most important to you and help you to see how the current choices you may be making might be in conflict with those values. In many cases spiritual conflict is the source of that discomfort. By getting back to the fundamental basics of your spiritual beliefs, we have found we can help you to use the strength you are able to find in your faith, to overcome the depression, anxiety, and stress that you may be experiencing.

Spirituality can be an important resource for healing and connection. We honor your faith and can incorporate spirituality into your healing process. The spiritual values of faith, hope, compassion, and tolerance can be powerful values to heal suffering. Often, we do not treat ourselves with the same care and compassion we might show towards others. Find ways to feel better while drawing on the strengths and support of your faith.

Do you find yourself asking ‘but what does God say’ or ‘is this in alignment with what it means to be Christian’ when it comes to therapy? The honest truth is sometimes as a therapist, if I am working with a client who has said Christianity is foundational to who they are, I will ask “do you want to hear the words of therapy right now or the words of the Bible?” There are times when the therapy of the world is different than the call on our life or being a Christian. It is not my practice to ever tell you what to do. I will give you information and the choice is yours. My practice is one where truth, grace and mercy are ever present. If you have questions, contact me and let’s talk.

Faith and spirituality can provide comfort and meaning to those guided by their beliefs. I was raised in a Christian household myself so I have an appreciation for the values instilled by religion, the importance of tradition, and the strength of community. My approach to counseling is humanistic and welcoming of all spiritualities. Though I do not incorporate any specific pastoral counsel, I encourage my spiritual clients to draw on their beliefs during the counseling process.

I believe Spirituality and your access to or dislocation from, in large part determine the success of your personal Recovery. I always screen for my Client's Spiritual beliefs upon introduction. My personal walk with Jesus Christ has convicted me of the Healing power which exists and comes from alignment with God.

As a practicing Christian, I can incorporate spirituality into your session. I recognize prayer as a powerful tool and comfortable using it if requested. I strive to incorporate mind, body and spiritual healing as the ultimate wellness state. Acknowledging God as our healer is a concept that I believe and therefore feel is important. Wherever you are in your faith journey, you will be respected.

Faith and prayer are an important part of every healthy life. In fact, as Catholic counselors faith and prayer are important aspects of our approach for counseling. These give people strength in times of brokenness, hope in despair, joy in the midst of trials, and clarity when you feel like your life is stuck in the fog. As counselors with Christian faith, we are especially capable of helping you grow spiritually as you heal from the past, examine the present, or look to the future. God is the same yesterday, today and forever—and our faith reminds us that He is with you always. So let’s work together, not only journeying to joy, but also journeying closer to God.

Jewish clients can benefit profoundly from Jewish Counseling provided by a Jewish therapist who understands and respects their cultural and religious background. With a shared understanding of Jewish traditions, values, and beliefs, the therapist can offer a unique perspective that resonates with the client's worldview. This facilitates a deeper connection and trust between therapist and client, enabling the exploration of spiritual and existential concerns within the context of Judaism. Through this culturally sensitive approach, Jewish clients can find solace, clarity, and healing that aligns with their religious and cultural identity.

Spiritual growth stands and falls on God's grace - and our relational attachment to a Father who heals. While I hold deep secular training, and value it's proven effect, I ultimately relinquish personal/professional headings to Jesus. He is in control and can charge and enliven therapy! As believers we journey, hand-in-hand with our God...and trust in His wisdom, power and authority. You will find all of the above here. I welcome you in Christ's name and look forward to walking with you!
