Recently we had a call from a person who has a troubled marriage and had gone to another therapist for a few sessions. The couple had been told by the therapist that they "should get a divorce." The lady called wanting a second opinion. We probably have one. Let us provide one for you if needed.

The most important of the "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People", according to author Stephen Covey, is "Sharpen the Saw." Friend, you are the "saw" Covey's talking about. A sharp saw makes for more efficient efforts everywhere - at home, at work, at church, etc. We might be helpful in sharpening two of the four areas that need to be sharp for real life success: mental and spiritual. Contact us if you're up for some sharpening.

The cost of prevention is always less than the cost of restoration. However, if you didn't pay for the prevention and need the restoration, you will be wise to invest in real restoration. Scripture says, "Though it cost all you have, get understanding" (PR 4:7). Contact us if we might help you get understanding.

Patrick Morley, speaking about his spiritual journey said this: "Once I realized that money wouldn't solve my problems and that success wouldn't make me happy, I became a Christian. But in many ways I only added Jesus to my life without subtracting my materialism." True Christianity isn't just ADDING Jesus; it involves SUBTRACTING some things, too. Need some help? Contact us.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was once known as "shell shock", the reaction of soldiers who had been in certain combat situations. A man might hear a car backfire and dive for cover. In a moment a "trigger" would have him back on the battlefield in his mind and emotions. We all have triggers - not just those traumatized by war. Recognizing triggers in relationships is necessary to build healthy relationships when one has experienced injurious relationships. Perhaps we can help you recognize these and manage them better. Contact us if needed.

Teddy Roosevelt is credited with this wise thought: "People don't care what you know until they know how much you care." We helpers tend to have diplomas and other credentials displayed in our offices. Those attest to things we may know; it is our own task to show that we care for those we try to help with our knowledge. Call us if we might help. We care!

Dysfunctional families have recognized patterns of poor relational boundaries. These are not all alike; sometimes boundaries are too rigid, allowing for no wholesome adjustments. Sometimes people have no reasonable relational boundaries; they are always in each others business. When we don't learn wholesome boundaries as children in a family that has them, they're difficult to learn as adults, no less necessary to learn, however. We can help. Contact us.

Sometimes Christians erroneously believe that we're exempt from suffering. The Apostle Peter told us directly, "not to be ashamed if we suffer as a Christian" (1 Peter 4:16). Suffering is part of the human experience in many ways; Peter added a qualifier to our suffering, "it should not be suffering because we have been scoundrels." If you're suffering justly or unjustly and want help, contact us.

Do you need someone to slap a psychological label on you? If you do, you'll need to see someone else. If however, you need someone to help you deal with emotions and behaviors (yours or others) that trouble you, contact us.
