CHRISTIAN COUNSELING

Life’s challenges can cause us to wonder how the problems we face each day fit into God’s plan for our future. As a faithful Christian, you may struggle at times to put your beliefs into practice as you tackle everyday difficulties. In those times of trouble, you don’t have to travel alone on your personal and spiritual journey.

Licensed therapist Jamie Leonard understands your desire to make God the focus of your life as you confront your problems and seek the right solutions. She can offer you guidance based on Biblical principles, allowing you to find answers that embrace your Christian faith. Traditional counselors may not share your religious values, and your church family may not always be available to help. A Christian counselor may be the helping hand that you need.

If you are considering Christian counseling, ask yourself these questions:

• Do you want to discuss your problems with someone who shares your faith in God?
• Do your friends suggest solutions that are contrary to your morals and religious beliefs?
• Have you found that secular therapists base their counseling methods on different values than your own?
• Are you seeking answers that stress Christian beliefs instead of worldly wisdom?
• Have you found that your pastor or church elders do not have the resources or the training to help you with the issues you are facing?
• Do you avoid talking to your church community about your problems because you fear you will be criticized or judged?
• Do you want to learn how to incorporate your faith into your relationships at home and on the job?

God can soothe your pain, relieve your anxiety and comfort you in your distress. He can lead you on a path to true happiness and peace. As a Christian, you know these things are true, and yet it can sometimes be hard to find your way. Modern society often doesn’t support the values and beliefs that can be essential to living a healthy spiritual and emotional life.

God doesn’t promise us a life without difficulties, but He promises that he will always be there to guide us. With the help of a Christian counselor, you can learn to handle your problems while focusing on God’s purpose for your life. You can find the answers you need in a safe setting.

Christian counseling benefits:

• Feel comfortable and secure as you share your beliefs.
• Find solutions based on Biblical values.
• Eliminate worldly distractions as you seek God-centered answers.
• Learn how to apply Christian values in your home.
• Enrich your relationships at home and on the job
• Strengthen your spirituality and your faith.

Many of us will experience depression, anger, anxiety, abuse and other problems in our lives. Counselor Jamie Leonard can help you to find solutions to these issues that are based on your Christian values. You do not need to abandon your spiritual path to find the balance and peace you desire in your life.
