Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. Romans 15:13
Individualized Care
Art therapy is a healing approach adaptable to all ages and needs. Our program has helped provided an avenue for healing for children, adults and even families. The mode of treatment utilizes creative techniques that enable expression of emotions, past hurts and current struggles that are otherwise difficult to express using words.
Biblical
“I Can do all things through Him who strengthens me” Philippians 4:13.
We begin our work with every client by first inviting God to lead the process. As you continue in your work with us you will see that God is intimately involved in the healing process, whether it be through the use of scripture in sessions and for homework, or relying on the Holy Spirit to guide the work we do. In all cases, God is at the center.
Safe
At Grace Christian Counseling we strive to create a safe, warm and healing environment. Art Therapy is one of the unique ways we incorporate this into the healing process. Art allows for the individual to express their emotions, pains and struggles at their own pace and in their own ways.
Grace’s Counseling Blueprint
Integrating Biblical & Clinical Care
Take off the Mask
Grace counselors act as a mirror reflecting back to you how God actually sees you. Imagine embracing how God sees you rather than putting on a mask.
Heal the Wounds
Our Christian counselors help you unpack your pain. Once you’ve located the root issues, you’ll work together to create healing for your wound.
Remove the Toxins
While it’s tempting to create another mask, our integrated Christian counseling helps you remove the toxic beliefs that are rotting you.
Replace with Truth
All truth is God’s and is critical for your transformation. To be all that you can be, it’s vital you understand who you were created to be.
