About Alongside Counseling
At Alongside Counseling Center, we provide a compassionate environment for all seeking support. Our approach blends Christian beliefs with professional psychology, and we respect diverse perspectives on faith.
Clients may choose to engage in spiritual discussions as desired. Our focus is to help individuals facing challenges and as appropriate, to collaborate with a person from their trusted community.
1) To equip Christians local and global for growth in emotional maturity, psychological health and existential calling.
2) To encourage Christians to properly connect to and serve through their local church.
Method
Counselor: From a Biblical perspective with modern psychological support, counselor encourages the client to grow psychologically and emotionally.
Emphasis is on client’s psychological and emotional health.
Church-Mentor: If desired, through the local church, a mentor encourages the client to grow relationally and spiritually.
Not necessary to make “appointment” but looks like intentional time with “experienced friend.”
Emphasis is on client’s relational and spiritual health.
Together: We provide a more holistic and supportive approach to client’s needs.
Recognition of intentional season but aimed to “transition back into the church’s regular discipleship ministries.” (Brad Hambrick)
“And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him - a threefold cord is not quickly broken. ”
We want others to know the only source of genuine contentment, joy, hope and love comes from regeneration in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We serve a threefold purpose:
1) God is worth knowing and following
2) Who you are in relationship to Him is worth understanding
3) Connecting you to understand identity in Him is one of life’s highest pursuits.
Mission
“You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”
