...about Faith-Integrated Counseling
What is "Faith-Integrated Counseling?
At Wells of Wholeness, Inc.®, "faith-integrated counseling" refers to counseling that integrates psychotherapy, theology, psychology, and other behavioral sciences with spirituality and faith. Because we believe that your spiritual, emotional and physical needs are inextricably connected. "Faith" (yours and/or your counselor's) becomes a valuable resource to the healing process in the counseling context. In other words, when there is suffering in any area of life, there is a mind-body-spirit connection --and "faith-integrated counseling" provides relief, healing and wholeness.
Is "Faith-Integrated Counseling" for religious people only?
Absolutely not! Persons with or without a religious background can participate in and benefit from "faith-integrated counseling. You and your counselor do not need to agree on religious denominations, doctrines or tenets of faith in order to receive faith-integrated counseling services. However, we ensure that our counselors, who possess a strong knowledge and awareness of psychotherapy and pastoral counseling, are also grounded in their own faith with an awareness of how it impacts their use of "self" in the counseling process.
