Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
Christian counseling, also known as biblical counseling or Christian therapy, combines psychological and therapeutic techniques with Christian faith, principles, and teachings. It is administered by professionals in mental health who are also trained in Christian theology and ethics. Christian counseling seeks to assist individuals in addressing their emotional, psychological, and relational difficulties while incorporating their Christian beliefs and values into the therapeutic process.
Christian counseling is not a substitute for traditional mental health therapy or medical treatment. Instead, it provides an additional option for those who wish to investigate their challenges within the Christian worldview. If you or someone you know is interested in Christian counseling, it is imperative to locate a qualified Christian counselor who shares your beliefs and can provide the necessary support and guidance.

I believe in holistic health, which includes spirituality as an important component of mental health and Total Well-Being.
