Christian Counseling

Working with faith

A Christian worldview impacts counseling in many ways. We welcome the hard questions of life in our office, and we recognize how much difference it makes when you respond with faith. We welcome you to talk to us about your faith life, from the big picture “why we’re here” stuff to the everyday struggles like finding time for prayer.

Family/relationship concerns

Emotions, depression, anxiety

Our young people are precious, but raising healthy, happy kids and teens can be a real challenge. We all do our best, and sometimes, we still find ourselves struggling. There is no need for blame and shame! We all need help and guidance. Our St. Louis counselors are ready to work with kids and teens individually or with the whole family. 

 

Eating Disorders

Counseling or coaching

Eating, weight, body-image

We all need food to survive, and yet, this part of life can get very complicated. From body image too restriction, we understand eating disorders and see the person behind them. Come into a safe place for healing and help.

 

OCD is a disorder that traps people in repetitive thoughts and behavioral rituals that can be completely disabling. Our counselors use empirically based techniques, including exposure and response prevention and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, to help people with OCD and related disorders recover meaningful and productive lives.

 

ADHD is a tricky diagnosis and is often made too casually. A careful assessment involves a detailed history, completion of checklists by the individual and others who know them well, a personality measure (for teens and adults) to rule out similar diagnoses, and a cognitive screening measure. These results are compiled and presented at an informing session, and a written report is provided.

ADHD Testing

Children and Adults

 

Often people with mental health concerns receive inadequate treatment due to a failure to genuinely understand what is going on. Personality assessment can provide greater insight into the complexities of a person’s psychological functioning, suggest more accurate diagnoses, and give insight into nuances that can lead to better understanding of one’s self and a more customized approach to treatment.

Personality Evaluation

Adolescents and Adults
