What is Nouthetic Counseling *

Worldly Therapists do not model their counseling after Jesus Christ, and their theology and methodology are devoid of Christ and His care. Christians need to seek out professional biblical counselors. Our guidance comes from the authority of God thru the Scriptures.  Nouthetic Counseling is focused on biblically based Christian solutions to life situations and needs in a broken fallen sin stained world.  About Nouthetic Counseling   The Value of Pastoral Counseling There is value in connecting professional and pastoral counseling so there is oversight over the counselees to ensure progress and change happen. So include your pastor and authorize your counselor to include him in the counseling and progress with actionable steps you are to be taking to complete the counseling and the change.
