Counseling is a process of becoming. During counseling people become fore fully all that God intends them to be. We believe it involves a delicate but essential balance of the emotional, spiritual and physical dimensions of life and personhood. Achieving this balance is a major challenge of living.
This process is time consuming, dependent upon the nature of one's personal challenge and the person's willingness to work at growth. It involves learning about oneself, discovering new alternatives, realizing one's potential, getting in touch with feelings, taking greater initiative for one's life and getting "unstuck", learning to identify and make choices and becoming make choices. It means beoming all that your resources and situation will allow you to be as an idividual, couple or family.
