Christian Based Therapy Services Provided at Couples Care Center

Individual Christian Therapy

Addresses co-dependency, addiction, relationship struggles, life direction, parenting, conflict resolution, abuse, grief and loss, divorce recovery, anxiety and depression, spirituality and many other issues. It is our goal to guide individuals, wherever they are on their life's journey, to wholeness in His holiness and to become self-actualized and confident in their identity in Christ. We meet clients right where they are with no judgment or condemnation; only care and a safe, trusting relationship where light and love are provided to guide the path to healing, peace and prosperity.

Crisis Marital Christian Therapy

This process is specific for couples who are in really tough places, such as adultery, addiction, abuse, abandonment or extremely toxic argument cycles. The goal of this approach is to gain order and insight within the marital structure, assess the origin of pain, explore rigid interaction patterns, increase emotional awareness, create partner empathy and rebuild the marital bonds.

IN THE MARITAL VOWS…. GOD WAS SERIOUS ABOUT THAT " ONE FLESH " THING. MANY TESTIFY THAT DIVORCE FELT LIKE THEIR FLESH WAS TEARING.

Spiritual Direction

We believe that God, in Titus, has called the older to teach the younger. We make room for anyone who needs spiritual guidance and wisdom. This is a sweet pleasure that we truly enjoy. We encourage clients seeking spiritual guidance to set goals, heal wounds, stir up gifting and talents within, in order to discover a closer walk with Him so that He can shine His light on individual paths and one can experience God's best. Spiritual healing, prayer, guided scripture readings and mediations are used in spiritual direction as the client is led to discover his/her divinely inspired purpose for life

Pre-marital Christian Therapy

We believe prevention is the key here. We work with couples who are engaged and planning to marry to ensure they are each, as individuals, whole and complete in their identity in Christ and ready for the covenant agreement of marriage. We address the couple's areas of strengths and potential growth. Depending on the needs of the pre-marital couple, a brief, specific approach is used to address issues that could become problematic later if not brought to light prior to marriage. However, addressing possible unresolved childhood traumas may be required to encourage future marriage stability. We work with previously married and divorced individuals planning to re-marry and address step-family issues, step-parenting roles and blended family strategies for ultimate success and divorce-proofing the next marriage.

Conflict Resolution Pre-marital

We provide the couple with skills to take a real look at the coping styles and argument cycles that each partner is bringing into the marital commitment. We will assist the couple in and identifying unaddressed and arrested emotional issues that may eventually negatively impact the marriage. Goals, values, love languages and expectations will be addressed as well, in order to better equip the newly wedded couple.

Directed Separation

This process was designed because too often, couples were leaning into the divorce option too quickly. This program gives couples an opportunity to reassess things from a different vantage point. Separation is always a risky option and couples struggle with working on issues when they are not living together. Divorce is never the easiest answer and we rarely advocate separation toward divorce. However, sometimes couple interactions are so toxic that a cleansing separation is required to dismantle and begin the process of healing and rebuilding the relationship. Too often the couple considers discarding the marriage because they feel that they have tried everything….in some cases, even traditional counseling failed them. When a couple is at the point of giving up and are convinced that the marriage is over, we offer directed separation to assist them in separating with the intention of ceasing the volatility long enough to identify the root issues. This is an intense agreement that directs and controls the elements of the separation. The process is an attempt to slow down the destructive emotional interactions long enough to determine if divorce is truly the only solution. Generally, the process allows the couple to become aware of their own negative contributions that fuel the conflict. Wisdom and empathy are key factors that help the couple plow new interactions pathways that lead them back to one another.
