WHAT IS THE CHRISTIAN COUNSELING APPROACH?
All of the staff contracted or employed by HARP Christian Counseling are committed Christians who are dedicated to providing counseling that is compassionate, Biblical, and life changing. There are many facets to our approach to counseling that makes it different than the traditional secular approach. Our counselors desire to integrate Biblical wisdom with therapeutic approaches to problem solving in such a manner that our techniques are both mentally, emotionally, and spiritually healing. As Christian counselors we understand that everyone coming to HARP Christian Counseling for help comes with their own history in regards to a faith experience. We understand that faith is not a part of everyone's life and will accept this person where they are while attempting to assist this person in finding the love and help of God. We also understand the diversity of beliefs within the various Christian traditions and denominations, knowing that we each come to God along a unique path as He draws us into a relationship with Himself.
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING SERVICES
As the name suggests, individual therapy is all about the patient as an individual. People seek professional help for various problems, mental and emotional illnesses, and traumatic life events. Our therapists are prepared to assess each individual's need and to develop an appropriate treatment plan. Therapy sessions typically last about 60 minutes, and the frequency of appointments will depend on your specific treatment plan. Regular attendance is strongly recommended for the fastest path to recovery. When you enlist our services, you can expect to be treated with respect, understanding and compassion. We provide a warm, safe and comfortable setting and encourage you to work through issues at your own pace. But you will also be challenged and engaged -- only through hard work can we overcome the burdens of the past and look to a brighter future ahead.
MARRIAGE COUNSELING
Marriage is a wonderful gift from God but it can be challenging for two unique people with different needs to live as one. Our therapists are committed to helping you overcome the challenges that have developed in your marriage which have led you to seek marriage counseling. You will receive affirmation and support as you work toward change as a couple. Both spouses will be asked to participate in sessions. You can expect to receive guidance that will lead to successful changes. The work is up to you and your spouse to rebuild your relationship in a healthy manner. Your successful marriage impacts more than just your life, particularly if you have children. Strong marriages are central to healthy families and the nurturing of children. We encourage each marriage partner to evaluate the investment you have made into your marriage before seeking divorce and dissolution of many years of intimacy. HARP Christian Counseling staff are enthusiastic about marriage and believe that with God's help, forgiveness, and commitment, most problems can be overcome when both spouses are equally devoted to marriage restoration. HARP Christian Counseling staff will also provide premarital counseling to couples seeking to enrich their marriage from the start.
TELEHEALTH SERVICES
Clients may have the option to receive services in the convenience of their own location through the ease of telehealth. After the first intake session, which we will provide in our office, clients may at times find that a telehealth session is necessary, such as during an illness that makes travel to the office prohibitive, or when circumstances of the moment make a telehealth session more feasible to avoid canceling a session. When you make a telehealth appointment with a HARP Christian Counseling therapist, you can rest easy knowing that your session is secure, effective, and covered under some insurance plans. Please note that not all insurance plans provide coverage for telehealth services. Additionally, providers reserve the right to limit telehealth services to specific days only or to limit when this type of service is considered to be be clinically appropriate for addressing a client's specific concern. Secure Our providers use secure technology to keep your personal health information private. All telehealth appointments are subject to the same strict HIPAA standards as in-person sessions.
