Traditional Counseling
The foundation for Christian counseling is the application of God's truth to the heart. At Wellspring, we strive to understand, live, and apply God's truth in all we do.
Christian counseling is practical and effective -- we do not over-spiritualize life. Instead, our techniques and wisdom are distinctly biblical as we counsel from a holistic view of mankind and the world, meaning that we believe God created human beings as a complex whole, and our focus includes the spiritual, cognitive, emotional, relational, and physical aspects of each person we serve.
At Wellspring, we understand that counsel from God's Word and God's perspective can accomplish true life and heart change.
We are committed to helping you develop a biblical worldview. We will not tell you what to think, but we will help you become aware of the core beliefs you hold that guide your thinking and actions. Then, we will help you learn to critically reflect on those assumptions and values as you evaluate yourself and all of life in light of God's truth.
Out of the heart come the thoughts, words, and deeds of man. The only way to really help a person change and grow is to address his or her heart. True change is the result of the Holy Spirit's work in the human heart, a work that he often uses other people to accomplish. As Christian counselors, we will help you to understand your problems in biblical terms, and then rethink your responses and remedies according to God's truth. Together, we will reflect on your heart issues, and then mine the depths of God's word related to those matters.
We are truly committed to seeing you grow. We rejoice that many of our clients have experienced peace and hope through the ministry of Christian counseling. However, personal happiness is not our goal. We strive to guide our clients towards the greater goals of growing in spiritual maturity and reflecting God's glory -- goals that often result in happiness.
Although we have extensive training and therapy experience as counselors, we do not serve our clients from a pious perspective. We understand that all Christians are on a journey of becoming more like Christ and we all need the help and strength the Holy Spirit gives.
If you are interested in learning to apply God's truth in a profound way as you strive to grow spiritually and emotionally, then Christian counseling through Wellspring is for you.
Traditional counseling typically entails an hour of therapy once per week until the client and counselor agree that the desired results have been achieved. Sometimes Intensive Counseling is appropriate for more complex situations.
