• Biblical counseling seeks a deeper understanding of who we are and why we do what we do, by appealing to the One who created each of us in His image. As the designer of every person, God reveals Himself most clearly and gives sound, efficient instruction for us and all of life through His Word. Counsel is provided by those who are knowledgeable and trained to help counselees interpret their situations through the lens of Scripture. The concepts and commands of Scripture are used to explain and apply biblical guidance to their situation, so that the counselee’s life is not just outwardly changed, but inwardly transformed by Christ. This change leads to a lifestyle that is characterized by a fuller love for God and others. 

    Biblical counseling does not ignore the fact that as humans, we are created with minds and bodies and that professionals trained in neuroscience and biology may also need to be included in the care of the whole person. We work in conjunction with those professionals who specialize in the medical or psychiatric care of those individuals whose problems encompass these areas of their lives. We do not offer, nor are trained or authorized to prescribe medication. 

    While these areas must sometimes be addressed and included in the care of a counselor, there is a spiritual element, the heart, that is the center for our thoughts, actions/words, beliefs and desires in any given situation and must not be ignored. It is essential to consider this, as the root of most problems stem from some element of our heart within us. When the root of the issue is dealt with, true lasting life change and transformation can occur. This is God’s beautiful, amazing grace by the work of the Holy Spirit, ministering the hope and help of the Gospel, through the Body of Christ! 

  • Watershed Ministries is a non-profit 501c(3). We do not take insurance or file any third party claims. We operate solely on the donations and generosity of those we serve, our partnering churches and the community. The fair market value for a one hour session in our area is $75-$150.00. There is a suggested minimum donation of $30.00-$50.00 per session. That being said, it is the purpose and desire of Watershed Ministries to provide quality counseling to those in need.

    In the spirit of Acts 2:43-45 and Luke 12:48b, each client is asked to pray about what God would have them give to help support the ministry and maintain this service for all in our community. 

    "Everyone around was in awe-all those wonders and signs done through the apostles! And all the believers lived in harmony, holding everything in common. They sold whatever they owned and pooled together their resources so that each person's need was met." 

    (Acts 2:43-45, The Message Bible, emphasis added)
