Life is hard. Anxiety, loneliness, fear, depression, marriage conflict, parenting issues, addictions, life-changing events, these are just some of the struggles we face. Where do we turn when we’re struggling with them?
Grace Counseling exists for this purpose; to walk next to people and point them to Jesus in the midst of their struggles and hardships.
At Grace Counseling we don’t assume that we have all the answers, but we do know where to turn to find help. Our counseling is based on the Bible, because we believe that God has provided us with answers and the help that we need for life’s journey in the Bible.
What does the counseling process look like?
We begin by asking the counselee a number of questions that will enable us to gain an understanding of their background and help them address their issues. We study Bible passages together that will help them with their struggles. In addition, we help them get connected with a local church that will encourage them in their spiritual growth and bring accountability.
What are the expectations for counseling?
Bring your Bible and a notebook to all sessions. If you don’t have one, we would be glad to provide one.
Normally, a counseling session will last about one to one-and-a-half hours. The duration of counseling sessions will vary depending on the problem(s) being addressed.
Homework will be given after each session and must be completed before the following session in order to maximize the counseling and help you become a “doer of the Word” (James 1:22-25).
Grace counseling is free of charge, however an expense may be involved in the purchase of books or other resources that the counselor will recommend to enhance the counseling process.
Because the Scriptures teach that spiritual growth requires the resources offered by a Bible-believing local church, it is essential that those seeking biblical counseling commit themselves to regular church attendance at their church or Lakeshore Baptist Church for the duration of counseling.
