Services
Sexual Addiction Recovery
Our Christian sexual addiction recovery program combines individual therapy, couples counseling, and group sessions to address pornography use and compulsive sexual behaviors. Certified Sex Addiction Therapists use evidence-based methods to help clients achieve sobriety while integrating spiritual growth. The program includes 3-day intensives for accelerated healing and ongoing support groups for sustained recovery.
Marriage Counseling
Christian marriage counseling focuses on restoring relationships through effective communication and emotional healing. Using research-based approaches like Gottman Method and Restoration Therapy, we help couples address infidelity, conflict resolution, and intimacy issues. Pre-marital counseling prepares engaged couples for lifelong commitment through practical relationship skills and spiritual alignment.
Trauma Therapy
Specialized trauma therapy addresses post-traumatic stress from abuse, accidents, or loss. Our clinicians use Christian-informed approaches to help clients process painful memories while developing coping strategies. The treatment integrates spiritual exploration with evidence-based techniques to restore emotional stability and rebuild trust in God and relationships.
Pastoral Counseling
Tailored counseling services for pastors and missionaries address unique ministry-related stressors. We provide confidential sessions for spiritual leaders seeking personal growth, leadership guidance, or family support. LifeSpring Center, our non-profit, offers reduced-fee therapy and international support programs for missionaries facing cultural and emotional challenges.
Group Therapy
Christian support groups create healing communities for specific needs including sexual addiction recovery and spousal betrayal. Men's and women's groups use structured curricula to foster accountability and connection. Peer-led groups in local churches provide ongoing support, while professional-led sessions offer specialized treatment for particular struggles like pornography addiction or marital conflict.
