The Difference: Tailor-Made Counseling

The Difference: Its Tailor-Made To You!


Too often I have found that traditional psychotherapeutic counseling in its self is not enough. It simply isn't enough to visit a counselor or therapist week after week, year after year to find new and true direction. Traditional therapy holds to the theory that the client will eventually respond to various treatments; If treatment A doesn't work, treatment B will and so on. Sadly this often leaves the client confused and frustrated. Should they find relief it isn't long before the pain returns. You see, traditional therapy says that there is no sure-fire way to bring help to anyone. It is a reliance on unproven theories or practices rather than truth. Psychotherapy becomes an endless vacuum with no stopper to bring lasting peace.

But there is truth and hope! The first step to finding true healing is understanding that truth exists and it is a person, Jesus Christ. With truth available, there is true relief, lasting peace and an abundance of joy as Biblical truth and love invade your hurt habit or hangup. And you can find that healing right away. In fact I've seen incredible things happen when Jesus gets into the mix. Pain and suffering is relieved, light invading dark places and real changes taking place. All of this happens within a short period of time, because your creator knows you, and relates in the way you were created.


And as a created being, you were made with certain traits, desires and needs. This unique "Temperament" is essentially your blueprint to the way you relate and love in life. With this blueprint in hand, your pastoral counselor is able to surgically direct your sessions to have the most impact, and bring the quickest result possible. This, coupled with a keen and strong understanding of your identity provide a roadmap to success through your hurt, habit or hang-up. Marital issues, addictions, grief, sexual concerns, identity issues and pain is quickly and lovingly brought into a place of healing and restoration, at the pace at which you are most comfortable.
