Individuals - To achieve individual wholeness, we seek to incorporate body, mind, and spirit
into the practice of therapy. We believe that hope for change comes through one's faith and therefore seek to take seriously the faith of the client. Couples - Our therapists are trained to work with most couple issues and primarily use Biblical principles and techniques found in research supported Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy. Couples can learn to experience their relationships as safe and nurturing. We work collaboratively with our clients to get underneath the surface issues to the core of the conflict. This helps the couple find new ways of experiencing each other and expressing their needs and desires in a more straightforward manner, which enables each partner to meet those core needs. Families - Our therapists work with families through a number of potential issues. These include resolving lifecycle transitions, parenting conflicts, blended family concerns, and extended family conflicts. For those who are separating, divorced, or remarried we strive to help each family member grieve their loss, find healing and wholeness, and forge a new working relationship for the parents. The loss of family stability and security has a profound effect on children who bear the burden of internal conflict, which results in loss of a healthy identity, low self-esteem, fear, guilt, and shame. Therapy is essential in addressing these issues and helping children become healthy adults. Example groups include:
1) Premarital Workshops on the 2nd Saturday each month.
2) Forgiveness and Reconciliation - These groups will focus on helping individuals recover from broken relationships by walking through the steps of forgiveness. The desired outcome of this process is reconciliation, when safe and possible.
2) Be Transformed - This group's curriculum was created through Scope Ministries and seeks to assist men and women in finding their identity in Christ.
3) Parents of Adult Children - These groups assist parents to cope with unsolvable issues that are present with their adult children.
