Biblical counseling is really intensive discipleship and is committed to the position that Scripture provides the only authoritative guide for what we are to believe and how we are to live (2 Timothy 3:16-17). The Biblical Counselor is trained in the use of Scripture and the principles of biblical counseling. He or she does not base his or her counsel on mans wisdom, opinions, experience, or concepts of behavior, (Isaiah 55:8-11) bur seeks to being the full range of Biblical truth to focus on the counselee's need (Hebrews 4:12). At Biblical Counseling for Women, we emphasize the importance of change at the heart level.

What this means is we do not offer therapy or prescribe medications. We are not licensed counselors or therapists. We offer pastoral counseling from the Word of God.

Biblical counseling deals with the entire range of problems confronting mankind including: broken marriages, parent child relationships, fear, depression, alcohol and drug abuse, tension, anxiety, worry, and any other problems that may result in mental/or physical immobility. In short, the Biblical Counselor is equipped to deal with any problem dealing with ourselves, our relationship with God or our fellow man (2 Peter 1:3).

MEDICAL NEEDS

Biblical counselors believe in the total health needs of the counselee. Your counselor may recommend that you have a full or specified medical examination. If medical assistance is required, counseling will continue with medical advice. Because we are not licensed counselors, we do not prescribe or monitor medications prescribed by a psychiatrist or medical doctor.

There are three areas addressed in order for Biblical change to take place:

HOPE
In Jesus Christ we have a great High Priest who has suffered and been tempted in all things, yet never sinned. Because of Christ, even though you may be facing every sin common to man, you can have victory in the midst of your temptation.

(1 Corinthians 10:13; Hebrews 4:14-16).

CHANGE
In Christ we can learn how to lay aside the old selfish ways of living and put on the new ways of living in a manner worthy of the Lord Jesus Christ. We can learn to glorify God in every area of our lives. We can learn to live a godly life and to live in such a way that we will be increasing in our knowledge of God and our ability to relate to others. Biblical counseling will enable you to make practical changes. (Ephesians 4:20-24; Colossians 1:10).

PRACTICE
We need to prove ourselves to be doers of God's Word and not merely hearers of the Word. It is only in the actual practice of the Scriptures shall we be blessed in what we do, and only then will we glorify the Lord (James 1:22-25; Proverbs 28:13).
