Christian Counseling:
What is it and why?
February 11, 2024
Disclaimer: Please note that Christian counseling is only offered to those who are interested, and I will never impose my personal faith and beliefs on my clients.
Christian (Biblical) counseling is a beautiful merge between psychology and the Christian faith. As a mental health counseling intern who is a devout Christian, I strive to center our sessions on Jesus Christ, the Gospel truths, and our identity as children of God. Mental health counseling in the world can only do so much for Christians because it relies only on science and psychology. True Christian counseling acknowledges scientific evidence-based practices while at the same time making use of powerful tools from our faith, which include Scripture and prayer. For true restoration, healing, and Spritual awakening, Christian counseling is non-negotiable.

Psalm 94:19
When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul.

1. I'm at the beginning of my licensure journey, and have a special type of passion and desire to connect with my clients and to guide you through your challenges.
2. I receive weekly supervision from two licensed and experienced mental health counselors to ensure that I am providing the best services possible to my clients.
3. Even though I'm just starting out in my mental health licensure journey, I have worked with children, youth, young adults, and their families for nearly 20 years.
4. I'm constantly learning how to become a better mental health practitioner. I read, take workshops, attend conferences, pursue certifications, etc. to ensure that I am up to date on best evidence-based practices.
5. My sessions are $25 for children under 18 and $45 for adults. This is far below the fees that many other counselors charge.

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
2 Corinthians 1:3-5 ESV
[3] Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, [4] who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. [5] For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.
