CHRISTIAN COUNSELING / BIBLICAL COUNSELING

What is it?

Simply put it is going back to what the Judeo-Christian Bible, both the Old and the New Testament have to say about human kind, our nature, living life including happiness and pain, and hope. It is centered around the Judeo-Christian God (God the Father, The Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit). It is a holistic approach in that it takes into consideration all aspect of our nature: Body- the physical self, Soul/heart (our will, mind, and emotion) – the inner self, and spirit – the innermost part of us, where we unite/commune with God or God's enemy, Satan. It also takes into consideration the forces at work in and around us all the time that influences our lives for good or bad: The world (our society including culture and belief systems and ways of living), the self (who we are including our desires), adversarial spiritual forces (Satan and his unseen world), and God's Kingdom (God and His unseen heavenly host).

Practically speaking, it includes prayer, consulting the Bible for answers, and incorporate the client's community (support systems).

Who can benefit? Any client who is willing and open to Christian Counseling. It is an optional treatment model offered with client's consent. If you are interested, let your therapist know.

Consultation/Consulting

Context

"Cambridge Dictionary: “the act of exchanging information and opinions about something in order to reach a better understanding of it to make a decision”"

Consulting means to obtain advice and information from a professional who is trained or an expert. The consultant has specialized training or expertise on the process of solving a problem of interest to the client. Consultants work with individuals, couples, families, groups, and organizations.

The consulting service is a short-term engagement. It is advisory and direct in nature, with no room for exploring or processing the past. It is present or future focused. You can expect your consultant to be open, honest, direct, and compassionate. Your consultant will challenge you and empower you with resources.

Licensure: There are no licensure requirements for consultants, however, consultants at Guillaume Counseling Services are Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists.
