COUNSELING SERVICES
With a Trained Codependence Biblical Specialist
01
What is counseling?
Our biblical counseling is led by professionally trained individuals who have worked in clinical environments but have chosen the pathway of ministry. While we maintain professional standards, ministry allows us to focus fully on the person of Jesus Christ and the healing that unfolds through the power and presence of His Spirit.
In counseling, we walk with individuals through their personal narratives—processing pain, trauma, and loss. Our approach is trauma-informed and gently guides clients through the grief of loss, the weight of imbalanced relationships, and the struggle with unhealthy boundaries and a lack of identity. We aim to uncover the core roots that drive the outward fruit, creating space for lasting healing and restoration.
02
Counseling versus coaching
At Living Free Institute, both biblical counseling and Christ-centered coaching play important roles in the healing journey. Counseling focuses on healing the past. It is trauma-informed and helps individuals process pain, grief, trauma, and relational wounds. This reflective work addresses root issues and creates space for emotional and spiritual restoration.
Coaching, by contrast, is discipleship-based and forward-moving. It focuses on helping individuals live out their identity in Christ by integrating biblical truth into daily life. While coaching is future-oriented, it also acknowledges that triggers and unresolved issues from the past can still surface in everyday experiences. Coaching helps individuals recognize these patterns and respond with clarity, grace, and intentionality.

Who is an ideal fit?
We are not a substitute for medical care or licensed therapy. We do not diagnose mental health conditions or provide advice regarding medication. If those are your primary needs, we may not be the best fit.
However, if you feel mentally stable, have tried other options that haven’t fully addressed your needs, and are seeking a foundational, spiritual approach to healing—we may be the right place for you. If you believe Jesus is the answer but also value understanding the human side of pain and trauma, we can help bridge those pieces together.
At our core, we are a spiritual resource that integrates emotional healing, trauma recovery, and root-issue work into a biblically grounded healing model. If that resonates with what you're looking for, we invite you to reach out. We’d love to walk with you on your journey.
