Christian Counseling in Franklin MA

How Did Christian Counseling Begin?

The patience and practice of Christian guidance and counseling have been with us for a long time, smoothing over troubled minds and perhaps offering insight and renewal of purpose to our lives. When thinking about the origins of Christian counseling you might consider the following proverb:

“The purpose in a man’s heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out” – Proverbs 20:5

It makes good sense that through solid counsel we may better understand the path we have before us. If you want to achieve a you that is fully defined by you it can be necessary to speak with someone practiced in the art of listening.

What Are Some Goals of Christian Counseling?

As you might expect, our goals are your goals. Our Christian counselors can offer unique awareness and vision when it comes to helping you achieve your goals. By looking at the world through two very powerful lens; one of Christian moral teachings, and the other of behavioral and emotional psychology, we can paint a fuller picture of who you are. From there, a course of action and organized execution of plan can take place. Let us help you explore the large variety of challenges that can pop up daily.

Talking with a Christian counselor or therapist, one-on-one, will help you speak and think at ease when discussing private and complex matters relating to faith and spirituality. Part of a healthy spiritual life is finding common ground with those around you. If your faith is strong then talk about it with someone who can offer pensive and calm advice.
