Committed to Clinical Excellence
When you need help, you don’t call on someone you don’t trust or lack confidence in. No – you want the best support you can find. At Light Counseling, we’re committed to providing you with quality care marked by clinical excellence. We demonstrate that commitment by retaining expert therapists, utilizing time-tested theories that have proven effective, and collaborating with medical experts.
At Light, our therapists hold advanced degrees and have experience helping married, engaged, and dating couples work through challenges and grow closer together. Our Christian relationship counselors employ a variety of theories and approaches to their work, such as the Gottman method, prepare-and-enrich, cognitive behavior therapy, dialectal behavior therapy, solutions-focused therapy, and more, depending on your unique needs.
In addition, collaboration with healthcare providers such as psychiatrists and medical doctors is crucial to our holistic approach. Addressing your mental and physical health needs empowers us to provide the informed care you need. At Light, we take great care to identify and refer any physical issues causing emotional symptoms.
Clinical excellence, however, isn’t the only thing we’re committed to. As a Christian marriage counseling center, our core passion and motivation lies in Scripture – being the hands and feet of Jesus, the most wonderful counselor (Isiah 9:6).
FAQ’s About Christian Counseling for Depression & Anxiety
What is Christian marriage counseling?
Christian marriage counseling is a therapy for married couples that integrates biblical principles, guidance, and instruction with psychotherapy. Christian marriage counseling and premarital counseling seek to help you and your significant other grow closer through a shared reverence for God, strong communication skills, and steadfast commitment to loving one another.
How effective is Christian marriage counseling?
Generally speaking, the effectiveness of Christian marriage counseling depends on three variables: the counselor, the husband, and the wife.
Before you begin, ensure your therapist is qualified and knowledgeable. Ask your therapist about the theories they employ when counseling couples, how many years they’ve been counseling, and what makes them capable of offering you the best care. At Light, you can schedule a no-cost, no-obligation chat with a therapist before you hire them. That way, you can ensure that the counselor you meet with is best suited for your marriage counseling needs.
After you’ve found the right therapist, you and your spouse must commit to putting the work in. It is best if you both are – or eventually come to the point of being – equally invested in growing closer together and resolving the issues at hand. Ideally, you and your spouse should view marriage counseling as teamwork – you united against the problem. When you view one another as the problem, the effectiveness of counseling diminishes.
What questions do they ask in premarital counseling?
The questions asked during premarital counseling at Light vary by the couple. Differences in families of origin, communication, conflict resolution style, personal sin struggles, testimonies, beliefs, and countless other things that make people unique are combined into one home and family unit when the words “I do” are uttered.
Marriage is more than a casual, hand-in-hand waltz of a smiling man and a beaming woman through a shared front door. It’s a story of two worlds and two lives converging into one – a wholehearted and mutual pledge of two people surrendering their own lives and wills for the sake of the other.
At Light Counseling, one of our main objectives in Christian premarital counseling is to help people understand that marriage is a serious commitment. Because people tend to avoid complex and vulnerable conversations, our premarital counselors will seek to facilitate such dialogues and, in turn, help you lay a foundation for a joyful and richly rewarding marriage.
In premarital counseling, you may be asked about your past and present relationship with your family of origin. You will discuss your faith, how important your relationship with God is to you, and how the Lord saved you. You may also talk about conflict resolution, your spending habits, how you manage money, and what roles you plan to assume in marriage.
This short list of possible topics explored during premarital counseling only begins to scratch the surface of everything you and your fiance will discuss during premarital Christian counseling. At Light Counseling, we take the invitation to walk alongside you seriously. When you choose us for premarital counseling, you choose a counseling center committed to offering a rewarding, Christ-centered approach.
