We live in a chaotic world and the struggles we face are not what God wants us to experience. There is a big difference between the view the world holds and God’s view. This creates a huge gap between who we are and who we are created to be. Sometimes we find ourselves caught up in trying to build a perfect life. In the process, we tend to lose ourselves.

God wants us to remain focused on Him and who we are according to His Word. Christian counseling can help us find the principles we need to remain in that mindset.
To be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. – Ephesians 4:23-24, NIV
As you focus on every aspect of life, you may find there is a time when you are neck-deep in a struggle that can lead to mental health issues. Self-medicating or trying to self-diagnose often leads to further issues. This can be a good indicator that individual counseling can help you through these struggles. The counselors at The Colony Christian Counseling are here to help you find hope and faith.
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this. – Psalm 37:5, NIV
Whether or not Christian counseling works is not as simple as yes or no. The result of counseling is based on several factors. The receptiveness of the patient is the one factor that has the biggest impact on successful counseling. It’s understandable if you are having questions and aren’t quite sure about the process. That is why you can call most counselors and schedule a consult. Your Christian counselor at The Colony Christian Counseling would be happy to discuss a time for a consult.
Individual counseling is focused on helping you overcome those things that cause you to struggle. Most of these struggles are common and can be overcome through faith-based counseling. Through this type of counseling, you can learn to move forward in life and faith.
Allowing yourself to seek counseling is allowing yourself to be vulnerable. It can feel hard to take that step and seek Christian counseling. For counseling to be beneficial, you must decide to pursue the process. The first step is realizing that you want to feel better mentally. There are so many types of battles that we face. Choosing to seek help is one of the best ways to win those battles.
Deciding to get help and taking the steps are different. At The Colony Christian Counseling, our counselors help you understand how to identify and overcome the problem.
When you incorporate God’s word into your treatment plan it will affect the following areas of your life:
Relationship Growth: God did not create us to be isolated and alone. Connecting socially is an important aspect of our overall health. It brings a sense of belonging.
Self-Awareness in Christ: Knowing that you are part of a bigger family can bring a sense of contentment. When you understand that God loves you there is a feeling of self-awareness in who you are.
The Joy That Goes Farther Than Happiness: Joy is not a fleeting emotion that is based on the moment. It comes from knowing that you are not alone to face anything. Finding out that there is a reason for joy in everything you face reduces the possibility of anxiety or depression.
Overcome Past Trauma: We all have a past. Letting go of things is not easy, especially if it is a traumatic event. But when we understand that we are not defined by our past we can begin to heal. The Colony Christian Counseling is ready to assist in overcoming any past trauma.
Faith Building: When you build your faith through God’s Word, you are allowing yourself to become whole spiritually.
I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. – Psalm 16:7-7, NIV
The first thing you can expect is to find a safe place to discuss the things that are important to you. Having a place to talk about all the things that you struggle with matters. If you aren’t comfortable then finding inner peace is challenging.
The next thing to expect is a place that will incorporate God’s Word into your plan of care. This sets the tone for how you and your counselor can proceed. It is God’s desire for us to be healthy in all areas of our life. At The Colony Christian Counseling, the counselors will strive to incorporate the Word of God into the healing process of individual counseling.
Individual counseling will give you hope and strength when you feel hopeless. It will help you rise above the feeling of inadequacy and begin to know who you are according to Biblical principles.
Many topics can be addressed when it comes to individual counseling. Each treatment plan is focused on your needs rather than a generalized process. Christian counselors in The Colony are ready to guide you with Biblical-based principles.
Among the topics that are covered, you will find these areas most common to individual counseling:
- Anxiety
- Family changes or concerns
- Changes in Life
- PTSD
- Childhood trauma
- Substance dependency
- Developing spiritual self-awareness
- Grief or loss
- Struggle with self-identity
- Understanding healthy relationships
- Depression
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. – Hebrews 10:24-25, NIV
After deciding to seek individual counseling with a Christian counselor the next step is to find one near you. It may sound simple, but you want to take time to research the services in your area. Call and set up a phone interview. This will help you determine if that place is right for you.
You must use individual counseling to help you create a better lifestyle for yourself. By overcoming any struggles that you may have you can focus on the priorities of maintaining a healthy and stable lifestyle.
The Colony Christian Counseling approaches mental health in a way that will help you understand how to maintain that focus. By choosing to implement Biblical principles, you are choosing to maintain positive thinking. Instead of focusing solely on the problem, we help you reach the solution.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will. – Romans 12:2, NIV
