Christian Counseling

What is Christian counseling?   At Compassionate Counseling Services I provide Christian counseling and spiritual counseling to clients that desire it.

Spiritual counseling addresses the client’s unique perspective of the divine and integrates that belief system into the treatment plan.  Christian counseling integrates the power and healing of presence of Christ in the counseling session. 

The integration of spiritual or Christian treatment may include praying with the client, leading the client in healing prayer, discussing practical steps to grow in their definition of Faith.  I provide Christian Counseling to clients that profess their belief in God and their savior Jesus Christ.

My personal belief systems originate from Catholicism.  My Catholic Christian belief is a foundation of my life and serves as a guide to the meaning and purpose of my life. I pray for each and every client during my daily prayer time. Christ is the access and foundation of my life and it is from Him that I receive the gift of prayer, listening and wisdom to guide others.

I have known the saving power of Christ in my life.  I know that He has saved me from many temptations and that God has intervened in miraculous ways in my life several times.  I have not been removed from suffering, but it is through my suffering that I have learned to value and love my Savior. 

Through the course of my young life I have witnessed a miraculous healing of my daughter whom at age 3 almost died from a serious disease.  I have overcome the pain of divorce and lived through my x-husband’s death.  I have suffered economic loss and had to move due to loss of my home twice.  This is just a small portion of my life and my greatest joy has been to sit at the thrown of grace in prayer and know my savior Jesus Christ.  I rejoice even in the midst of what the world would call suffering because at any given movement I can dance with Christ in Joy, and experience Christ grace that he gives to all of us on our journey of life.

I hope to give you this experience too.  Call me and we can discuss how your Christian faith or spiritual belief can aid you in your journey of life and help you to overcome your depression, loneliness, and gain a new fresh perspective bursting with joy no matter what your circumstance.

St. Paul says:

In Romans 8:35-39 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:“For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[a] 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. New International Version (NIV)
