At Life Connections Counseling Center, we understand how emotional pain can put your life on hold. We know that relationships can be sources of healing, but have often been sources of injury and damage. We also know that God can help bring growth through difficult times. Our counseling connects emotional and relational health with spiritual maturity. We have provided relational and marital counseling and psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families since 1993. Our staff consists of licensed mental health professionals. We differ from other counseling centers in four ways: 1). We work as a team so that we offer the best and most professional care possible to help you with your particular needs. While maintaining your confidentiality, we provide consultation to each other; 2). We value your spiritual life. Although we work from a traditional Christian perspective, we want to support your spiritual growth, not impose our beliefs on you; 3). We understand human development and human emotion, and seek to understand you in the context of your total life history. What happens to us relationally and emotionally as we are developing often shapes our futures in harmful ways. We can help you sort through these relational influences and identify problematic emotions in order to live a more intentional and satisfactory life; 4). We primarily offer our services on a fee-for-services basis. Health insurance will pay for treatment of a mental illness, but many people come to see a counselor for reasons other than a mental illness. The diagnosis of a mental illness can follow a person for a long time in medical records; we believe that a fee-for-services arrangement offers you the best value for your money. You chose your therapist. You can get an appointment quickly, without needing to get permission from a third party. You determine how many sessions you want to see a counselor. You are in charge of your treatment, so you set the goals.
