Find a Counselor
Why is it a good idea to seek counseling?
We all could use advice from time to time and sometimes it's healthy to see the counsel of someone who isn't close to you. Our friends and family can't always bear the weight of our pain or struggles and sometimes it's a great idea to have a neutral person to confide in. Sometimes people have this idea that counseling is for people with "real" problems or it means sitting in a stuffy office with a crotchety man peering over his glasses at you as you spill all your private thoughts before him. Counseling is actually for everyone, even "normal" people. Most often counselors can be very freindly, kind and trustworthy, but it is always good to do an interveiw before you allow them to mentor you.
Did you know the Bible talks about seeking council with others?
It is interesting to me the Jesus is referred to as "The Great Counsellor"...

Here are some sites that can help you get connected with a good Christian counselor.
Christian Care Network
The Christian Care Network (CCN), is a national referral network of state licensed, certified, and/or properly credentialed Christian counselors offering care that is distinctively Christian and clinically excellent. Each member of the CCN has attested to being a current member in good standing with the AACC, and having a current credential through one of the AACC’s credentialing boards. This information is updated on an annual basis. CCN members have had their applications for membership reviewed for these standards and for responses to items consistent with the AACC Doctrinal Statement and the AACC Code of Ethics.
The baseline requirement for our registry is Masters or PhD level degrees in counseling, the behavioral sciences, psychology and related fields. Our participating therapists are also licensed in the state where they practice and/or are certified through a recognized Christian counseling association. Although impossible to guarantee the competence and professionalism of any Christian therapist we screen them for these baseline qualifications. Our participating therapists are of the highest caliber and have active practices. They want to hear from you, so connect with them right away.
