We are licensed mental health clinicians who believe that faith in Christ is central to our faith, health, and wholeness. Because we believe that God’s Word is true and relevant to contemporary life, we provide counseling which emphasizes the use and superiority of God's Word as well as evidence-based psychological research and methods in communication, recovery, and healing (not theories) that do not conflict with its teachings.
