Christian Counseling
Christian Counseling is done by a professional counselor using the tools of the mental health profession, Biblical truths, and wisdom and experience obtained while helping those in need. Biblical truth is found in the Holy Scriptures that guide our relationship with God and one another. The Bible offers profound truth regarding human nature, sin, redemption, and grace. The counselor measures all other concepts/philosophies by the Scriptures. Wisdom of life is found when counselor and client bring their understanding and desire for change into each session.
Professional counselors are graduates at the master's level and credentialed by the governing body (state of CA) following their completion of rigorous requirements and examinations.
Associates have completed their master's degrees in a counseling field and are currently completing 3000 hours of supervised therapy to fulfill licensing requirements for the State of California.
Trainees are in the process of completing their master's degrees in a counseling field and are supervised by their university and our onsite supervising counselors.
