Individual Counseling

If you are hurting and need someone to walk alongside you through difficult times, people are here, ready to share your burdens and wrestle through tough issues with you while pointing you to God - the only one who can bring true healing and change.  

Individual counseling addresses such topics as anxiety, depression, grief, divorce, death, eating disorders, sexual issues, etc. 

Counseling is free of charge and is not professional counseling*.  Our counselors are trained and equipped to provide Christian counsel on an individual basis through the support of the local church.
