Christian Counseling therapists in Leisure City, Florida FL
Hayne Steen
Counselor/Therapist, MAMFT, LMHC, Approved Supervisor
We believe that God is love. God's love is toward everybody. What does that work out as? We have a passion to include everybody. That’s our first ethos. We’ll never impose this belief on you. We simply want to embody this kind of love.
We believe everyone is made in God’s image. We…thats all of us. We treat everyone equally respecting differences. No special parking places. We’ll never ever ever ever impose this belief on you. We will do our best to treat you with dignity in every moment.
We believe God is a relationship, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This looks like a commitment to a healthy open relationship. It’s WE. We are together in this. Good and bad. It means we need to get good at forgiving one another, good at listening to one another. We’ll never ever ever ever impose this belief on you. But we do seek to model this in the way we go about caring for people.
Death isn’t the end. We are people who believe in the resurrection of Jesus, which means that we have a deep sense of hope in every situation while we are each serving as change agents. This translates into the way we help individuals heal from trauma or couples work toward reconciliation to how we continue to hold onto hope for you even in the dimmest of circumstances.
A sense of perseverance. We believe, "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven". This means we are persevering with one another. We are called to be marathoners, not sprinters. There are no quick fixes. We are committed to building an enduring trust with the individuals, couples and families we serve. The healing path is one marked by willingness, patience, work and time.

Counselor/Therapist, MS, LMHC
Unfortunately, there is a huge disparity in the general faith of most therapists compared to the faith and beliefs of most individuals. I respect AND support the benefits of the Christian faith as a pillar of wholesome psychological healing.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As a general rule, both Christian counseling and secular counseling share the same desire to help people overcome their problems, find meaning and joy in life, and become healthy and well-adjusted individuals, both mentally and emotionally. Most counselors have graduate degrees and have spent years learning their craft.
The word "counseling" can have multiple meanings, including offering advice and encouragement, sharing wisdom and skills, setting goals, resolving conflict, etc. Counselors usually probe the past (whether the problem happened a week ago or during childhood) in an attempt to repair the present. Sometimes they explore possible affects of physical and chemical imbalances that can cause physiological problems. A major part of counseling is resolving and restoring conflicts between people.How Christian Counseling is different from traditional counseling, in that we apply the principles and commands of Scripture to help people lovingly submit to God's will, as interpreted by the Bible.
