Areas of Counseling Focus

Head to Heart Restoration Ministry’s Christian Pastoral Counselors not only share out of their knowledge, training and skills but also their life experiences.

In his book The Wounded Healer, Henri Nouwen, Dutch Catholic priest, professor, writer and theologian wrote “When our wounds cease to be a source of shame and become a source of healing, we have become Wounded Healers.”

Each Head to Heart Restoration Ministry Christian Pastoral Counselor is a Wounded Healer.

Head to Heart Restoration Ministry seeks to offer Christian Pastoral Counseling, therapy and Christian Life Coaching in a range of areas.

Head to Heart Christian Pastoral Counselors understand that ethical counseling techniques combined with the authority of scripture, prayer and Biblical principles ultimately brings healing, transformation, and restored hope.

Our areas of counseling include, but are not limited to the list above. Read the summaries below to understand more.

• Temperament Therapy – Everyone is uniquely created by God with various strengths and weaknesses, or temperaments. Temperament Therapy applies biblical principles that help an individual to identify these areas and learn to capitalize on the strengths while decreasing the weaknesses, in order to better deal with challenges in their lives.
• Christian Marriage Counseling – “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” Genesis 2:24 The process of becoming “one flesh” often involves resolving relationship problems. During difficult times, Biblical Couples Counseling can resolve conflict, restore hope, and move the couple into a fulfilling “one flesh” relationship.
• Premarital Counseling – Every couple seeking to establish their marriage on a solid foundation needs to participate in Christian-based premarital counseling. Whether it is a first, second, or third marriage, Christian premarital counseling can help the couple better prepare to face life’s challenges together.
• Marital Communication Issues – All marriage relationships go through difficult challenges. Many of these relationship issues can be attributed to poor communication skills. Through the use of couples counseling, the therapist is able to provide a safe place to learn new communication skills that can restore hope and healing to the marriage relationship.
• Extra-Marital Affairs/Affair Recovery – Sometimes a couple in a Christian marriage is challenged by the wound of an extra-marital affair. At times, the trauma and grief an individual experiences when an extra-marital affair is uncovered leaves them feeling hopeless, believing that their heart will never be restored. Christian couples counseling provides the safe place couples needs to address the past events that led up to the affair and challenges of recovery.
• Separation and Divorce – Separation and divorce is not limited to nonbelievers. Some Christians experience the depression, anxiety, and grief of separation and divorce. If a couple is not able to reconcile, Biblical counseling can help the individual or couple effectively deal with this tough situation, and transition into a place of restored hope.
• Resolving Conflict – Relationship conflict is challenging and inevitable. By implementing key Biblical principles including active listening and conflict resolution, couples, families and individuals can learn to resolve conflict in healthy ways and gain a better understanding of each other.
• Trauma, PTSD and CPTSD – Every individual has experienced some form of trauma. For some individuals the unresolved trauma leads to the development of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD). Through the use of prayer and Biblical counseling, individuals often experience emotional transformation and healing where past events are resolved and their lives restored.
• Resolving Childhood Trauma and Abuse – “Time heals all wounds” is a lie. Most everyone has been impacted by childhood trauma and abuse. The emotional and physical abuse at the hands of a parent, the demeaning words of a teacher, or the unrealistic standard of perfection put upon a child by a person in authority can all lead to childhood trauma. Christian counseling helps an individual heal by freeing them from the anxiety, depression, and perfectionism common among childhood trauma and abuse survivors. Past traumatic challenges can be healed, family relationships restored, and lives transformed.
• Emotional healing / Inner healing – Everyone experiences emotional wounds. Past events, traumas, and our childhood often cause emotional wounds. Everyone needs emotional healing / inner healing. Prayer ministry targeting these wounds can be the start to healthy emotional transformation.
• Emotional crisis – Life sometimes catches us by surprise, resulting in an emotional crisis. The compassion and guidance of a Christian Pastoral Counselor can help individuals and families deal with the stress, anxiety and conflict that often accompanies an emotional crisis.
• Depression – Sadness that is persistent for more than two weeks may be depression. Most people need the help of a therapist to break the cycle of depression. Biblical counseling, prayer and coping strategies can often restore hope, heal trauma, and bring a positive outlook for the future.
• Stress and anxiety – Stress and anxiety can rob an individual of peace and joy. Being overly stressed and anxious not only impacts one’s emotional health but also physical health. The use of scripture, prayer, counseling and coaching can help restore hope, emotional, physical and mental balance and reduce the challenges caused by daily stress and anxiety.
• Grief, death, and dying – The death of a loved one is one of the toughest situations we all will face during our lifetime. Even though the Christian has hope in the everlasting life given by Jesus, grief and trigger depression, anxiety, and loneliness. When experiencing life transitions caused by grief, death and dying, individuals and families often need Biblical counseling to help restore hope and find direction for the future.
• Spiritual roots of addictions – Addictions come in a variety of forms and impact most everyone. Most addictions have a spiritual component that must be part of the healing and emotional transformation process. Christian counseling helps restore hope by for those struggling with addiction by uncovering and healing the spiritual and emotional wounds that accompany their addiction.

Families, children, adolescents, parents, and adults can benefit from family counseling when dealing with a family crisis, divorce / remarriage, blended families and parenting issues.
• Codependency and family issues – Codependency, or excessive emotional reliance on another individual is a common problem found in most families. Codependency is especially prevalent when one of the individuals struggles with an addiction. Christian counseling can teach individuals and families how to develop healthy communication skills, establish appropriate boundaries, and discover new coping skills.
• Spiritual and religious issues – Every person is born with a God shaped void in their life. We often need a trained Christian counselor to help us learn and understand the Bible, develop a dynamic relationship with God and deal with life’s difficult questions. In addition, many Christians have experienced emotional and spiritual wounds from pastors, leaders and others within the Church, negatively impacting their belief and understanding of the grace and love of God. Christian therapy can help an individual resolve the wounds of the past, help them release forgiveness, and establish healthy relationships within a church body.
• Spiritual formation / direction – Spiritual formation / direction is the process of becoming more Christ-like through learning and practicing the spiritual disciplines such as Bible study, prayer, serving, listening to the Holy Spirit and understanding the nature of God in human history. The Christian Pastoral Counselor can help the individual develop the spiritual disciplines necessary to apply biblical principles, increase their Christian faith, and find their ministry calling.
• Christian Life Coaching – Coaching, unlike counseling focuses on looking forward in life. The Christian Life Coach assists the individual by exploring their passions and callings, setting goals, and developing action plans to move forward through life’s transitions, and changes. Through Christian coaching the whole person can find direction and fulfillment.
• Child, adolescent and young adult counseling – Children, youth, adolescents and young adults deal with challenges differently than adults. Sometimes parents are at a loss on how to help their child / children. Christian counselors can help the child / children and parents to strengthen their relationship, problem solve issues, reinforce Biblical principles in the family.
