Frequently Asked Questions

Diagnostic Tools

We use helpful forms such as the Personal Data Information form and other aids to gain an understanding of the central problems a person or couple is experiencing. The Bible is our frame of reference to understand and change human behavior.

Intent Listening

We encourage the clients to speak their mind in an appropriate fashion and to discuss their thoughts, anxieties, resentments, and fears so that your counselor will have a clear understanding of the central problems.

Team Counseling

There are times when a situation may call for a team approach. In this event, we may have more than one counselor involved in a session. Counselors share insights and opinions with one another which pertain to the specific case. Team counseling can be especially helpful in addressing marriage issues.

Assignments

Clients make more rapid progress when they are required to study or to perform specific informational or behavioral assignments which pertain to their specific problem. We tailor these assignments to the individual clients and their circumstance.

Accountability

We are interested in individuals learning how to experience the peace and joy that result from a walk of obedience to God’s Word, and we believe it is important to hold the clients accountable for doing the assignments on schedule. The assignments provide clients with opportunities to work on specific areas.

Biblical counseling will vary in the amount of time required according to the individual, his motivation, and the particular problem. Simple problems are often solved in one or two sessions. Severe problems may require a longer period. Marital counseling may require between 12 to 18 sessions.
