We value the ability to work in harmony with community members, schools, pastors and churches. Strong relationships are often the strongest tools in nurturing a broken heart or damaged soul. Our counselors are available as an extension to that embrace, standing ready to provide any professional support or care that we can provide.
At LCFS each of our counselors understand the value and power of Christian counseling and faith-based care. Each day they assist children, teens, adults, couples and families with counseling that is comprehensive, compassionate and professionally informed.
The Impact of Faith in Counseling
With counselors grounded in the Christian faith, God’s word and the Bible, we help individuals understand that we are spiritual beings with a connection to a higher power. A higher power that can provide an additional source of strength, motivation, and purpose. A God that can help us to find forgiveness, faith and hope and help us to heal.
Christian counseling is based on strong clinical practices, psychological and behavioral studies, Biblical references and the powers of faith, hope and trust in God. Through professional techniques and counseling standards, we direct those counseled toward a path of forgiveness, faith and hope.
