Address Behaviors Not Aligned With Beliefs
LifeSpring’s Approach to Christian Counseling
As you probably already know, people from Christian backgrounds (and denominations) don’t always agree on things. For this reason, it’s important to know that even though you will be working with a Christian therapist, their focus will be on you and your particular perspective and beliefs. At the end of the day, the perspective that matters the most is yours! We want to make sure that we can help you make decisions that are in alignment with your beliefs.
What is Holding You Back from Starting Christian Counseling Services?
It’s likely that you already have a primary care doctor to address your physical health. If you attend church, pray, or read your Bible, you have those practices to help you navigate your spiritual life. Christian counseling can offer you the professional support you need to navigate the other stuff while still incorporating your faith.
At LifeSpring, we know that there is still a lot of stigma around seeking counseling services (in our communities and in our churches). You may have been told you “just need to pray” or that seeking help shows a lack of faith. At LifeSpring, we want people to know that prayer can be really helpful. We also want people to know that you can pray and get the professional help you need. If you told a friend or family member that you had an appointment with your primary care doctor, they probably wouldn’t discourage you from going, right? The same should be true for seeking mental health counseling services. Getting professional help is something we hope your friends, family, and church family will fully support!
