COUNSELING
Wise understanding arises from a dual understanding of what truly matters. You matter, so we will listen closely to you to know your story: What are you facing, and how are you struggling? God matters, so we will listen closely to Scripture to know his story: Who is he, and what does he say and do in Jesus to make all things new? Best of all, we will aim to bring real hope and help by connecting his treasures to your troubles through an honest, loving, tailored conversation.
We offer biblically grounded, Christ-centered counseling for individuals, couples, and families, and for a variety of life’s struggles, including but not limited to:
- Guilt and shame
- Fear and anxiety
- Suffering of various kinds (loss, depression, and more)
- Anger and interpersonal conflict
- Addiction of various sorts
In addition, we offer biblically grounded, Christ-centered pre-marital counseling for engaged couples, which includes use of the highly regarded “Prepare/Enrich” pre-assessment tool to inform the counseling process.
