What Is Biblical Counseling?
It all begins with an idea.
In a world full of questions, pain, and uncertainty, many people seek someone to talk to—someone who will listen with compassion and offer meaningful help. For those who desire answers grounded in the truth of Scripture, biblical counseling offers something distinct: not just support, but transformation through the Word of God.
Biblical vs. Christian Counseling: What's the Difference?
You may have heard the term Christian counseling used to describe a wide range of counseling approaches. Often, Christian counseling blends biblical ideas with secular psychology—a method called integration. Many licensed therapists are Christians who sincerely seek to help others, and we are grateful for their care in our communities.
Biblical counseling, however, takes a different path. Rather than integrating with psychology, biblical counseling is based on the conviction that God’s Word is sufficient to address the real problems people face. It means we turn directly to Scripture to understand the heart, confront sin, offer comfort, and walk with people toward real change.
It’s not about offering spiritual platitudes or ignoring the reality of suffering. It’s about applying the gospel of Jesus Christ to every part of life—with humility, prayer, and the help of the Holy Spirit.
