COUNSELING
Individual Counseling
People seek individual counseling for a wide variety of reasons: to overcome results of past or present physical, emotional, mental, sexual, spiritual or verbal abuse; to work through problems; to explore how their beliefs, thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and choices affect their actions; to find a way out of anger, anxiety, or depression. Anything that interferes with a fulfilling life can be addressed during individual counseling sessions.
Premarital Counseling
Before couples are married, they benefit from looking at some of the predictable issues that arise in marriage: compatibility, differences in personalities, financial perspectives, spiritual beliefs, communication, and conflict resolution. A professional counselor can help them identify their individual strengths and areas that need work. They leave equipped with knowledge, strategies and skill-sets that will add stability to their marriage.
Marriage Counseling
Some married couples come to counseling when they feel diminished happiness as a couple. Early intervention can ease the healing process. Others seek professional help when the marriage is on the brink of failure. Professional pastoral counseling can help stabilize couples, provide strategies and skill-sets to help them cope with the issues that endanger marriage, AND gain a fresh hope and vision for an enriching, fulfilling marriage relationship together.
Family and Blended Family Counseling
Family members who have concerns that threaten their closeness can benefit from pastoral counseling. Whether problems result from blended families, substance abuse, illness, or other issues, sessions involving any or all family members can be helpful.
COACHING
Life Coaching
People seek life coaching to develop skills that will lead to greater success or new horizons. Coaching will take you where you are and help you create goals that can lead to your objectives. Consider life coaching if you are functioning well, and want to implement strategies and action plans to overcome obstacles that interfere with your achievements.
