The Christian Family Counselors will not judge you but instead assist you in fixing your family relationships and developing a better relationship with God. Everyone wants a healthy, untroubled, warm-hearted relationship with each of their family members, but when you add troubles, disagreements, and emotions into the mix, it can affect our families. It may seem absolutely impossible to fix this, but always remember nothing is impossible in God’s eyes.

Our Goal Is to Help You and Your Family

One of our many goals for family Christian counseling is to determine what kind of problems your family is going through. We will look at your family as the whole unit that is, one in desperate need of healing, because even if only one or two family members are having a problem, eventually it will affect every family member.

The main goals that Christian family counseling will always strive for are:

• Building a better communication and supporting every family member
• Developing trust and stronger familial bonds
• Developing a better relationship with every family member includes multiple and extended families

Counseling for Children and Teens

Every parent wants the best for their child. If you notice your child is having a hard time or suddenly has a change of behavior, it is completely normal for you to be worried. But just to be sure, a Christian Family Counselor can talk to your child about what might be causing any abnormal behaviors or problems at home or school and help to figure out the best solution for your child and the rest of your family.

Can You Tell A Difference in Your Child or Teen Since Starting Counseling

For children and teens, Christian counselors can help them get over many troubles, such as behavioral problems in school or at home, social anxiety problems, education problems, family issues, and emotional disorders. The counselors here are trained to work with not only your child but also the rest of your family to figure out the perfect solution. Through Christian counseling, you and your child can both work on healing, peace, and happiness, but if you don’t notice a difference in your child since starting counseling, you may be referred to a Christian counselor just for children and teens.

Typical Focal Points In Counseling

Problems Between Parents

Married couples should have a strong love and bond that reflects their relationship and their children. Any kind of problems you and your spouse are going through will affect your children and make it harder to function in your household. You and your spouse should lay the ground rules to set an example for your children as they grow up and become adults. The best way you can do this is by showing your children that marriage is a loving and healthy relationship. If you and your spouse are having any kind of problems, counseling can benefit you both and even your whole family.

Problems Between Parents and Children

Nothing in the world is more troubling than feeling distant from your child or trying to understand their behavioral problems. If a child feels unloved or pressured by the parents, it can cause major behavior, emotional, and social issues. The leading cause of problems between parents and children is the split-family dynamic. Children who go through the split-family dynamic have higher levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. Counseling can help you and your child to reconnect and bond with each other and with God.

Problems Between Immediate and Extended Families

If you want to keep a peaceful and happy home, the most important thing you can do for every member of your family is making sure to fix any issues between any family members, because unresolved issues can end up damaging your happy home. For example, if there are any unresolved issues between grown adults and their parents, counseling should be taken into consideration to solve the issue. Remember, to keep a peaceful and happy home you have to communicate and get along with every family member.

Loss and Grief Counseling

If your family is experiencing a loss, it can cause major damage to your family, health, and well-being. Most families consider counseling after a death in the family, such as the death of a family member, pet, or family friend. Each family member will be affected in different ways. When life has hit a low point Christian counseling will give you and your family emotional support by honoring your loss.

Transitioning

When making transitions in life, such as moving to a new home or city and making career changes, this can cause stress between family members. Counseling can help each family member talk about how they are feeling about the change going on until a solution can be found to help each family member deal with the transition process.

Health Issues

If anyone in your family is having health-related issues such as chronic illness, terminal illness, disabilities, or even some type of trauma, it’s completely normal for everyone to experience many emotions. During this time, seeking out Christian family counseling can benefit each family member by talking about and relieving stress over health issues. Counseling can also teach you and your family members how to handle health issues, new limitations, and learn to move forward and maintain a healthy relationship with God.

Expressing Faith Within the Family

Expressing your faith and spiritual development is a very important key component to build a strong, healthy, Christ-centered family. If your family shares their beliefs, they will also learn to grow together, pray together, and study the Bible together. Sharing your beliefs will help you create a stronger bond with God. But this can cause stress for family members who have different beliefs. Luckily, counseling can help by talking through spiritual beliefs. In the end, the main goal is that each family member is able to be heard.

Addiction

If someone in your family is struggling with an addiction of any kind, this is very serious and can greatly affect your entire family as well as creating emotional and financial stress. For the person who is suffering from addiction, everyone in the family should be involved as part of the healing process. Counseling will help you and your family learn about the addiction, how the treatment process will proceed, and the behavior issues that will follow, along with the healing process. Counseling will help you come up with a plan to keep the person who is addicted on the right path that God has planned for them.
