Honesty
It is very difficult to help you if you are not honest with us.

Homework
Required weekly assignments will allow you to practice what is learned in sessions and will encourage lasting change.

Church Attendance
We request that you make every effort during the counseling process to make this a priority. It is to your benefit to hear truth from God’s Word that will complement what you hear in counseling. We may ask you to attend our church for the duration of your counseling time.

Patience
Habits are not developed overnight and new habits will take time to become the new norm. In most cases, we ask individuals commit to regular counseling appointments for a minimum period of 4 weeks.

Privacy and Care
We will care for you and treat you with respect. Everything will be held in strict confidence except where, in the counselor’s judgment, there is a Biblical requirement to involve others (e.g. criminal activity).

Encouragement toward Christ-likeness
We will encourage you in your successes and exhort you to think and behave in a way that pleases Jesus Christ.

Weekly Homework
We’ll assign you homework to take home between your weekly counseling sessions. The assignments are meant to encourage lasting change.

Give Us Some Time
Habits are not developed overnight, and new habits will take time to develop. In most cases, we ask individuals to commit to regular counseling appointments for a period of 3 to 4 months.
