Christ-Centered Counseling

 At Illuminate Play Therapy, we offer Christ-centered counseling for individuals and families who desire to integrate their Christian faith into the healing process. We believe true restoration involves the heart, mind, and spirit, and that lasting healing flows from God's presence, grace, and truth.

"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those crushed in spirit." - Psalm 34:18

Our approach gently weaves biblical principles with evidence-based therapeutic practices, allowing clients to experience emotional healing while deepening their relationship with Christ. 

What is Christ-Centered Counseling?

Christ-centered counseling honors Jesus as the foundation for healing and transformation. Therapy is grounded in Scripture, prayer, and the belief that God is actively present in the restoration process.

Sessions may include:

• Prayer and spiritual reflection
• Scripture integration and biblical guidance
• Exploring emotional wounds through God's truth and love
• Faith-based coping strategies
• Encouraging identity rooted in Christ
• Processing trauma with spiritual grounding and hope

We walk alongside you in both your emotional and spiritual journey, trusting God's wisdom while using clinically sound therapeutic tools.
