Do you remember what it was like to be in love with a vision of spending your life together as a married couple? What went wrong? Where is the love, and what happened to your vision?

Individual Counseling
At CPR Counseling, we use Christian-focused treatment plans and a wide variety of resources to ensure that you receive realistic results that honor your Christian value system. Goals in the context of a Christian value system include helping people gain the self-awareness necessary to improve interpersonal relationships and resolve problems in an effective, time sensitive manner.
Christian Counseling
The key to Christian counseling is the use of integrative Biblical and Solution-Focused therapeutic techniques. There is one key aim in this process, and that is to provide a safe climate of trust so that the person seeking help, through self-exploration, can become aware of obstacles to growth. The next step is to work toward an exploration of internal standards, as well as Biblical standards, instead of the external standards of modern society. Ultimately, the goal is to facilitate the growth process, not merely solve problems. In the end, the process is one of achieving greater openness, trust in self, trust in God, and increased aliveness and spontaneity.
Why I Became a Professional Christian Therapist

For many people, especially those seeking Christian Family Counseling in Westlake Village, the decision to look for counseling from a Christian therapist is a prerequisite to obtaining therapy. It stems from the simple fact that their faith plays a central role in their life. Indeed, their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are guided by Biblical standards. For Christians, it is important to seek counseling from a therapist who honors their Christian belief system.
