Therapists Who Love Jesus
Christian Counseling
Respect
At MyCounselor we are unashamed of our beliefs, but that doesn’t mean you have to agree with us to receive counseling. We believe love and respect for people, especially those that believe differently than us, is a central tenet of our faith.
We consider it a matter of informed consent to let you know the world-view that shapes our thinking, because we don’t believe values neutral counseling is possible.
You don’t have to be a Christian to receive services from us. While you are certain to be exposed to our faith values in the course of therapy, we will never impose our beliefs on you.
Statement of Faith
At MyCounselor we embrace the Focus on the Family Statement of Faith.
- We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God;
- We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;
- We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory;
- We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful humanity, regeneration by the Holy Spirit through faith in Jesus Christ is absolutely essential;
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life;
- We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they who are saved unto the resurrection of life and they who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation;
- We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe.
Code of Ethics
At MyCounselor.Online we practice in accordance with the ethics and standards defined in the American Association of Christian Counselors Code of Ethics.
Have The Relationship You’ve Always Dreamed About
Marriage Counseling
Marriage is tough…for everyone one. You are not alone. Fortunately people have been practicing marriage since Adam and Eve, so there’s a lot of history we can learn from.
Christian marriage counselors draw on the truths of the Bible and the findings of relationship researchers to help couples have the kind of happiness they dreamed about at their wedding.
At MyCounselor we use evidenced-based marriage strategies from emotion focused therapy (EFT) and others like The Gottman Institute. We frequently provide aftercare for couples that attend marriage workshops and intensives like Focus on the Families Hope Restored and the AffairRecovery.com’s EMS Weekend– both programs we would recommend.
Whatever you’re struggling with, we’ve seen it before. We’ve helped hundreds of other couples find the happiness they were looking for. You can join the ranks of those who say “I wish we would have done this sooner!”
Help For Your MarriageYou don't have to do this alone. We know how to help you get through this better than you ever have been.
Affair Recovery
Healing is possible after an affair. There is no definite answer to how long it takes to recover from the pain of infidelity. The only thing we can tell you for sure is the timeline will take longer than you wish it would.
We’ve helped thousands of couples fix their marriage after catching their spouse cheating. Saving your marriage isn’t guaranteed, but we know what will give you the best chance. Whether or not the marriage survives, both the betrayed and betraying spouse need to heal.
Whether you’re facing an emotional affair, sexual infidelity, pornography or sex addiction, our guide to recovering from infidelity will get you started down the right path.
Sex Therapy
What is sex therapy? It’s a strategy for the improvement of sexual function and treatment of sexual dysfunction. This includes sexual dysfunctions such as premature ejaculation or delayed ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, lack of sexual interest or arousal, and painful sex. – Wikipedia
It’s a discipline in counseling that focuses on helping people heal from sexual hurts and learn how to enjoy a healthy sexual relationship with their spouse the way God designed.
Common Presenting Issues for Sex Therapy include:
- Low Sexual Desire
- Pain During Intercourse (dyspareunia)
- Recovery from Rape or Abuse
- Difficulty or Inability to Climax / Orgasm (anorgasmia)
- Erectile Dysfunction / Premature or Delayed Ejaculation
The counselors at MyCounselor receive training in Christian sex therapy from the Institute for Sexual Wholeness based out of Richmond Graduate University. Members of our team hold varying levels of certification with the American Board of Christian Sex Therapists (ABCST).
This article from Psychology Today does a good job of describing sex therapy from a secular perspective. The professional aspects are the same for Christian sex therapists, only we bring a Biblical understanding of sex to the conversation.
