FAQ (Frequently asked questions)
Counseling and coaching are both forms of support aimed at helping individuals navigate personal or professional challenges and achieve their goals, but they differ in their focus and approach.
Counseling typically involves working with individuals who are dealing with emotional or psychological issues, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship problems. Counselors, who are often licensed mental health professionals, use a variety of therapeutic techniques to help clients understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and to develop coping strategies to manage their difficulties. Counseling sessions may delve into past experiences and focus on resolving underlying issues contributing to current problems.
Coaching, on the other hand, is more future-oriented and goal-focused. Coaches work with clients to identify their aspirations and develop strategies to achieve them, whether in personal or professional domains. This could involve setting specific goals, improving performance, enhancing skills, or making life changes. Coaches provide guidance, support, and accountability to help clients stay on track and overcome obstacles as they work towards their objectives. Coaching typically does not involve diagnosing or treating mental health conditions, although coaches may address issues related to mindset, motivation, and self-confidence.
The length of a session is dependent on the severity of the need for services. All Initial Discovery/Counseling Sessions are at a 2-hr duration. In most cases each session beyond the initial session is at a 1-hr duration. Clients can anticipate meeting with his/her Counselor/Coach twice a month or weekly, depending on the need.
Clients can anticipate meeting with his/her Counselor/Coach twice a month or weekly, depending on the need. At minimum, the length of time to be in counseling could anticipate about 24 sessions, in a calendar year.
If you feel like you’re not making any progress or if your goals aren’t being addressed effectively, it might be time to find a new counselor.
If you have concerns about your counselor’s professionalism, ethical behavior, or if you feel like there are boundary issues, it’s essential to address them. If they persist, it might be best to seek out a new counselor.
Healing Thine Hearts provide services for both parties, as well as individually. We offer individual counseling and marriage counseling. A client can be married and still receive services, individually.
Before I will officiate a wedding, Healing Thine Hearts require couples to have biblical premarital counseling. Premarital counseling helps the couple understand and plan for a marriage that will glorify God. It also helps the couple set reasonable expectations.
- It helps build a solid, biblical foundation for marriage. A lot of time is spent in Scripture looking at how biblical ideas apply to marriage.
- It helps couples begin a dialogue. Topics like communication, finances, sex and parenting need to be discussed before marriage.
- It points out areas of concern in the relationship. No relationship is perfect. Potential problems, conflict and struggles should be addressed.
- It preserves couples from temptation. Getting engaged can result in couples rationalizing premarital sex. Premarital sex and other temptations need to be discussed.
- It prepares couples for the marriage, and not just the wedding day. Couples can tend to focus on the wedding day and not on the marriage.
An important part of premarital counseling is getting the couple to have serious conversations about their upcoming marriage. Marriages are filled with common problems that most couples experience, and each couple has certain strengths and weaknesses that require a certain approach.
Healing Thine Hearts offers premarital counseling that explores each person’s faith and history. It helps the couple examine personal convictions, expectations for their future and responsibilities they will have. We use assessments, tools, and exercises that will identify and uncover areas of positivity and areas that may need attention. More than anything, premarital counseling aims to produce a marriage that is biblical, God-honoring and sustainable.
