Disclosure for Informed Consent
GraceRenewal provides counseling support to couples and individuals for
- Divorce Intervention,
- Marriage Counseling,
- Parenting Support, and
- Faith Renewal
Our counseling begins with providing support to counselees for learning how to
- read the Scripture in order to
- hear God
- communicate Truth concerning who he is and their need for him and
- call them to receive him (the Resurrected Life of Christ) (in order to)
- experience him (in order to)
- be renewed by him (in order to)
- manifest his Likeness to others beginning at home.
THE INITIAL INTERVIEW
What to Expect
- During the Initial Interview, prospective counselees will be
- encouraged to share relevant information about their need and goals for counseling,
- given a copy of The Disclosure for Informed Consent, and
- asked to listen to 101 and 102: PAIN, PROBLEM, PROVISIONS, PLAN: Four Words Guiding GraceRenewal Counseling (two 5-minute videos at OISGC on TheGracePerspective.org website) before scheduling follow-up counseling.
- Expect a 1-2 hour visit.
FOLLOW-UP COUNSELING
What to Expect
- GraceRenewal provides counseling support through 4-6 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.
