HUMAN SUFFERING IS INEVITABLE, AND NO ONE ESCAPES IT.
It is an unfortunate statement, but true. Suffering can impact our entire being- our body, our soul, and our spirit. It can disconnect us from others. It can harm family bonding. It can interact in a negative way with all our relationships. You may be reading this because you or someone you love is suffering at this very moment. Or, you may be hoping to equip yourself for the next negative moment before it comes running full force at you.
At Christian Counseling of Tampa, we believe that counseling allows you the opportunity and hope for help, meaning, and/or redemption. Our team does this by talking with a trained Christian counselor in Tampa, FL. Whether you are dealing with:
Unimaginable traumas
Relationship breakdowns
The search for meaning in life
Or a sense of unhealthy and pervasive thoughts that make it hard to “figure it out” and “keep moving forward”.
“SO SHOULD I SEEK MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING OR CHRISTIAN COUNSELING?”
Thankfully, you don’t have to choose between the two. We have counselors with specific training on the integration of Christianity and Mental Health Counseling!
CHRISTIAN COUNSELING STARTS WITH RECOGNIZING THAT WE WORSHIP A GOD OF ALL COMFORT.
Hebrews 4:15 tells us: “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.” Also, John 16:33 says “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Conversations about spirituality and how God might view your situation based on what we know from His word, combined with prayer and the incorporation of evidence-based mental health counseling techniques can all be integrated into your sessions with a Christian counselor! Of course, the level of spiritual talk and connection of issues to God is completely up to you and your desires in each session. As Christian counselors, we do not push individuals to add God into the sessions more than their own wants and needs deem appropriate and suitable.
Benefits of Christian Counseling in Tampa, FL:
A safe, judgment-free, confidential place to discuss your past, present, and future.
A counselor that operates from a Christian worldview. They can incorporate scripture, theology, and prayer into a session as requested.
Offering wisdom, guidance, and direction for your life circumstances.
If you do not necessarily resonate with Christianity but appreciate the value a faith-based therapy approach can bring.
“WHAT IF I DON’T KNOW WHAT I BELIEVE OR DO NOT BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY?”
We have no desire to force a specific faith, spirituality, or our own beliefs on clients. Feel free to communicate with your counselor what your stance is on faith. You can discuss if you wish to develop in this area or would rather keep the topic out of your sessions. IN the end, the foundation of the counselor you are working with is from a Christian background. But, that does not mean that you must accept those beliefs to benefit from their counsel. We are open to working with people of all faiths and those with little or no faith in our practice. Our trained therapists can help you walk through whatever you are experiencing. In fact, we have been helping individuals, families, and marriages since 2004 in Tampa!
