Where Are You
Right Now?

Although as a Christian counselors I often use skills and resources from the field of secular psychology and
counseling, I recognize that the Bible, not psychology, is the final authority. “His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory
and goodness” (2 Peter 1:3). My  Christian counseling strategy is to help our clients come into a knowledge of the truth. As they believe the word of God and obey it, they are transformed and made whole and free.
When people are made free, they live a peaceful life, not without stressful moments but with the ability to deal with them in a healthy fashion.

I will work diligently with and for you to help you:

• Assess your current status to create a starting point.
• Use the Bible to help you create S.M.A.R.T. life goals.
• Realize that simply understanding what the Bible says isn’t sufficient.
• Apply the word to your life so you are transformed into the image God planned.
• Implement a personal spiritual strategic plan to help track progress in achieving the goals you see in the word.
• Through prayer and discipline, use your plan as a stepping stone not a stumbling block.
• Keep you focused and break down some of the goals into smaller actions if necessary.

As your counselor my main responsibility is to see you healthy and hold. I will work diligently to see that
happen. It is a part of my responsibility to hold you accountable for the work we do and the commitment we
make. Not only will I require you follow through on your promises, I will:

• Hold you responsible for your actions, throughout the counseling process.
• Set clear assignments.
• Evaluate your participation in the counseling process.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of the sessions.
