Question 6

How is Christian Counseling similar to or different from secular counseling?

Accepted Answer

The therapy per se is no different. We are still working on the issues that a client brings in, however, the common theology and ability to pray and read the Bible increase the trust level and enhance the therapy for those who want and need this piece. The atmosphere within the Center is one in which we desire to be used as instruments of God's compassion and grace. It is our hope all who are served here experience God's compassion and grace. It is our hope all who are served here experience God's love and acceptance through their therapist regardless of their beliefs. This is what makes Christian Counseling different from secular counseling.
