The ways we provide practical guidance and support.

Our Heart

Our heart is to ACCEPT you right where you are, seek to UNDERSTAND your unique journey, and CARE for your heart through biblical counseling. We dedicate significant time in prayer during the later sessions, asking God to nurture your heart and foster your spiritual health. In this way, we rely on the Holy Spirit to bring clarity, peace, and freedom. As the heart is transformed through this process, meaningful change follows—promoting personal growth and leading to greater personal peace and healthier relationships.

Our Approach

We utilize a curriculum called Biblical Concepts in Counseling, which is designed to support your personal growth and enhance your spiritual health. Workbooks are available for under $25 (including shipping) and can be ordered here. Wendy also has copies available in her office for $22. Together, we will work through the chapters that are most relevant to your unique journey. Additionally, we will explore the 'Circle of Responsibility,' a powerful lesson on boundaries that has brought freedom to many and learn practical tools for releasing bitterness, anger, and resentment. Throughout this process, additional books and resources related to biblical counseling may also be recommended. However, the choice of which materials to use is always entirely up to you.

What to Expect

Services

We offer biblical counseling, which focuses on spiritual health and personal growth, distinguishing it from traditional mental health counseling. While our approach positively influences mental health, we do not make mental health diagnoses or prescribe medication. For individuals facing mental health challenges, we recommend collaboration with mental health professionals, such as psychiatrists, licensed mental health practitioners, and clinical psychologists. With your permission, we are committed to coordinating care with these professionals.

Appointment Times

Appointments for biblical counseling are available Monday through Friday in two convenient blocks:

Morning: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Afternoon: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM

We strive to accommodate your schedule within these timeframes to support your personal growth and spiritual health.

Sessions

Many individuals choose weekly biblical counseling sessions over the course of 6–7 weeks to support their personal growth and spiritual health. However, for those traveling from a distance, we also offer extended options:

Some complete the material in 3–4 full-day sessions, while others prefer 3–4 consecutive days, allowing them to finish 6–7 sessions in a condensed format.

We will work with you to find a rhythm that best fits your needs and availability.

Biblical Counseling Approach

Please fill out the contact form if you cannot find an answer to your question.

How is biblical counseling different from traditional mental health counseling?

Biblical counseling is often described as focused discipleship rather than clinical therapy. It does not include formal diagnoses or treatment plans. Instead, it centers on applying Biblical truth to life, relationships, and personal growth in a practical and structured way.

Is everything confidential?

Yes. All information shared in sessions is kept confidential, just as it would be in any counseling setting.

Before your first appointment, you will receive a written confidentiality statement and have the opportunity to ask any questions before signing it.

Do you work with children?

No. Our counseling curriculum is designed for adults, as it requires a level of maturity and personal reflection.

In some cases, we may work with older teens depending on their situation. When that occurs, we always meet with both the teen and a parent first to determine whether the program is a good fit.
