Disclosure for Informed Consent
What to Expect
- GraceRenewal provides counseling support through 2-4 weekly,
multi-phased, two hour sessions.
- While we support the complex treatment methods sometimes needed to
meet counseling needs, GraceRenewal Counseling does not use the term
“therapy” or “psychotherapy” to define or represent the counseling we
offer.
- Counselees can expect our counseling to be Scripture supported,
pastoral, and appropriately friendly, and to increasingly become a
teacher-student relationship for learning grace concepts.
- In order to help maximize our time and to help assure that
our specific goals for counseling are accomplished, pets or young children
should not be present during counseling sessions.
- Persons taking Antidepressants may not find our counseling to be
helpful.

Why GraceRenewal Counseling is Different
Our counseling is different because it begins with providing support for learning how to read the Scripture in order to hear God communicate Truth to us, mainly that
- his love for us is unconditional,
- his interest in every detail of our life is intense and passionate, and
- his commitment to our health and happiness is unfailing.
It is based on the belief that
- the spiritual renewal and healing of our heart (mind and emotions) is the first step to the healing of our life, home, and marriage, that
- it is impossible for broken, unhappy persons to have a healthy, happy marriage, and that
- recovered health and happiness is not the result of what we can do to work on ourself, but of what we will allow God to do in and for us.
