Biblical Counseling

What Is Biblical Counseling?

Biblical counseling can be helpful in many situations. Whether you're working through relationship issues, you're working through trauma, or you're going through another issue that you'd like to talk through with a listening ear, seeking Christian leadership through Biblical counseling can be a great way to get the perspective you need from a fellow Christian.

Biblical counseling follows many of the same principles as typical counseling, and will work with you to help you uncover patterns that are keeping you from living your happiest, healthiest life. When you work with someone in a Christian leadership position to go through the Biblical counseling process, you'll get a Christ-centered perspective when it comes to how to handle your problems. This can mean getting advice on how to stay true to your Christian ideals when navigating tough life situations, as well as how to use prayer and worship to help you through life struggles.

Christian and Biblical counseling can be helpful for many life situations, including:

Relationship issues

Substance abuse

Healing from trauma or abuse

Managing stress, depression, and anxiety

Dealing with mental health disorders, such as OCD, bipolar disorder, and more

If you're already receiving mental health treatment from your doctor or other mental health professional, Biblical counseling can be a great complement to the therapy you're already receiving. If you're not sure whether it makes sense for you to see a doctor for mental health treatment, working with a Biblical counseling professional can provide you with the insight you need in deciding what type of treatment makes the most sense for your mental health condition.

If you're feeling suicidal, or having other thoughts of hurting yourself or someone else, please reach out to your local emergency center for help right away.
