ORTHODOX BIBLICAL COUNSELING
Return to the Word: Counseling that Works
God is perfect, and so is His Word. We can trust in Him and in His promises. Through Scripture, He gives us peace through His unconditional love and His faithful promises never to leave nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). He helps us and promises to heal the brokenhearted (Psalm 147:3).
PSALM 62:6
“He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.”
THE HEART OF THE PRACTICE
Effective counsel beneath the authority of Scripture.
God’s Word is inspired, true, and trustworthy. It names what is broken, announces the mercy of Christ, and teaches all of us - husbands and wives, families, adults, children - how to walk together in repentance, forgiveness, and faithful love.
We listen carefully to you and your situation. The good news is that human insight is not the final authority. Together, we bring your heart, your life, and your challenges into the light of Holy Scripture.
Biblical counseling does not replace the Church, the Sacraments, or appropriate medical care. It comes alongside them, continually directing the person toward Christ—the true Physician of mind, body, and soul.
THE GREAT PHYSICIAN
Healing begins with Christ.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction.”
2 CORINTHIANS 1:3–4
His love is perfectly revealed through His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and the true story of His ultimate sacrifice on the Cross. If He would send His perfect Son to die for us, would He not also hear us in our time of tribulation, help us, and heal us? The answer is a resounding yes.
