Counseling

Free, confidential lay counseling for anyone desiring Scriptural counsel on any of life’s issues. We all go through challenging times, and it can be hard to see clearly in the middle of conflict, drama or emotional pain.

What we help with

Lay counseling has helped people overcome many challenges, from divorce to childhood sexual abuse. Because many emotional and psychological problems have a strong spiritual component, many people find healing when they learn to bring God’s perspective into their situation.

Our approach

Cedar Point Counseling uses Faith Therapy, built on the principle that the God who created us also provides the answers we need for life’s difficulties. The goal is to identify and remove the roadblocks that keep us from those answers, so every person can live the full life God created them for.

Is it confidential?

Yes. No one needs to know you are seeking counsel unless you tell them. Your counselor may discuss an issue with the pastor or elders when needed to give you the best care. In cases of possible harm to yourself or others, or child or elder abuse, your counselor is legally required to report it. Your counselor will never acknowledge the counseling relationship outside the room unless you choose to.

Is the counselor licensed?

Lay counselors working under the authority of a local church don’t need a state license. Our counselor has a strong Biblical background, certification through a reputable agency, and continuing education in specialty fields. Lay counselors can’t prescribe medication. If medication might help, we’ll refer you to your physician or a mental health provider.

Who can come?

Counseling is open first to people who attend Cedar Point, because sessions are limited, but clients come from all walks of life and backgrounds. Counseling is centered on God’s Word and on Christ as the source of hope and emotional health.
