At Impact Family Christian Counseling & Wellness Center, we understand that growing up presents unique and often challenging experiences for young people. Adolescence and young adulthood are formative periods marked by rapid physical, emotional, and social changes. Our Christian and faith-based counseling services are designed to support youth in navigating these critical years with resilience and wisdom grounded in biblical principles.
Young people today deal with a variety of struggles that can affect their development and well-being:
- Identity and Self-Esteem Issues: Developing a healthy self-image and identity in a world full of social pressures and expectations.
- Peer Pressure and Social Challenges: Coping with the influences of peers and the complexities of social interactions in both real and virtual environments.
- Academic and Future Career Pressures: Managing stress related to school performance and decisions about future careers.
- Family Dynamics: Navigating relationships within the family, which can sometimes be strained during these transformative years.
Biblical Guidance for Youth
The Bible provides valuable insights and encouragement for young people. 1 Timothy 4:12 says, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” This scripture empowers youth to be leaders in faith and morality, regardless of their age.
Psalm 119:9 poses a question central to the journey of youth: “How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word.” This verse highlights the importance of scripture in guiding young people through their challenges and decisions.
How Our Counseling Can Help Young People
Our services provide targeted support to help young people thrive:
- Identity Formation: Helping youth explore and establish their identity based on Christian values, rather than the shifting standards of society.
- Skill Development: Teaching practical life skills such as communication, conflict resolution, and emotional regulation through a biblical lens.
- Mentorship and Role Models: Connecting young people with Christian mentors who can provide guidance, wisdom, and a positive example.
- Supportive Environment: Offering a safe and nurturing space for young people to discuss their issues and challenges without judgment.
Impact Family Christian Counseling & Wellness Center is committed to helping young people overcome the obstacles they face through holistic, compassionate, and effective counseling. Our approach integrates professional psychological insights with the spiritual truths of Christianity, providing a solid foundation for personal growth and spiritual development. We aim to equip youth with the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and faith, ensuring they grow into the purposeful individuals God has called them to be. Through our services, we strive to foster a generation that is not only resilient and well-adjusted but also deeply rooted in their faith and love for Christ.
What Is Christian Counseling?
- Christian counseling is confidential, Bible-based counseling by one trained and experienced in both pastoral and counseling ministry.
- Christian counseling is not designed to treat severe mental illness. We do not perform psychiatric or psychological evaluations, nor prescribe medication.
- The Christian counselor uses prayer and scripture to welcome God’s presence in the healing process.
- A typical counseling session lasts one to two hours. After the first meeting, the counselor will make recommendations for follow-up appointments, growth assignments, Christian spiritual practices of grace, and participation in other support ministries, well as a fellowship with a local corporate or house church, or small group ministry.
