Counseling and Health Promotion - Christian Counseling Centers
If you are seeking counseling that integrates and respects Christian perspectives, there are several options open to you: 1) working with a professional counselor who will affirm and integrate your faith perspective (the counselors at the Augsburg Center for Counseling and Health Promotion all value inclusion of the client's spiritual/religious perspectives); 2) working with a pastoral counselor (an ordained clergy who also has special training in the provision of counseling); 3) working with a counselor at a specifically identified "Christian Counseling Center"; these counselors usually have professional training and licensure in counseling, some also have special training in the provision of counseling within a specifically Christian framework. We recommend that you discuss with your prospective counselor how he/she would work with you to integrate your Christian perspectives in your counseling.
