Counseling
“Hope is faith holding out its hand in the dark.” -George Iles
Life is messy. People are broken. Sometimes we just feel overwhelmed and not sure where to turn or what to do.
When challenging situations are ignored or overlooked, we become discouraged, hurt and weary and our relationships suffer.
Therapy can be the place where healing begins. We can work together to apply your strengths amd progress to your goals. There is hope.
*Each of our therapists operate independently; please inquire with questions regarding sessions costs & insurance.

Faith & Work
Who we are

What we do
We do this by offering classes, small groups, invitations to Keynote conversations discussing what it means to be Christian in the modern workplace, and opportunities to mentor or be mentored, along with time to unwind in fellowship.
