  • What is Professional Therapy?
    Professional therapists are post-graduate level mental health service providers, trained to work with individuals, families and groups in treating mental, behavioral, and emotional problems and disorders. Professional Therapists are licensed by the state and have a variety of certifications, including LPC, LCSW, LMFT among others. With the completion of graduate school, before they are licensed by the state, professional therapists work under the supervision of a senior licensed professional and are called Resident in Counseling or Supervisee in Social Work, depending on their education and career path.
  • What is Pastoral Counseling?
    Pastoral counseling involves intentional and structured interaction between a person seeking help and a pastor. Within the context of a strictly confidential one-to-one conversation, the pastor and person seeking assistance, prayerfully discern the issues faced. The pastor then applies Spirit-led biblical wisdom in an attempt to set therapeutic goals which promote spiritual growth and healing. With a compassionate heart and a sincere desire to help, the pastor may join these goals to an accountability structure. Throughout the process, the pastor provides biblical guidance and exhortation.
  • What is Board Certified Christian Life Coaching?
    Life coaching is the process of helping clients gain clarity about different aspects of their lives, define clear goals, and find ways to achieve them. Board Certified Christian Life Coaches use their education, training and personal experiences to help people move forward. Many people seeking the services of a Board Certified Christian Life Coach are looking for direction, situational solutions, issue reframing, appropriate boundary settings and personal development. Board Certified Christian Life Coaches are not counselors, concentrating on past issues, but trained coaches who focus on current and future situations facing their clients, helping people create a strategy to move forward and helping guide them in its implementation. Board Certified Christian Life Coaches usually work with a client for a set number of appointments, defining goals and guiding their clients toward completion and have received their certification after completing required education and attaining experience in their field. Board Certified Christian Life Coaches charge for their services and do not diagnose or offer counseling so their services are usually not reimbursable from an insurance provider.
  • What is a Christian Navigator?
    Christian Navigators are trained helpers who do not have a traditional mental health education, master's degrees, or licenses but can provide crucial support, comfort, and care to those who are suffering. These are Christians who have been trained and lead by the Spirit to assist those who may be facing issues and need a little extra help. These volunteers do not charge for their services and tend to offer short term biblically based assistance.
