About
We believe in our abilities to change lives for the better through faith and trust in God. We're an all-inclusive organization. This is to say, we don't turn away anyone who may need our help or those who just want to take part in all we offer. Rich and poor, old and young, sinner and saint, people of all races, creeds, and colors, even people of other faiths, you're all welcome here. Come see what we have to offer you.
We offer counseling and therapeutic services daily that help hurting individuals, couples, and families to experience hope and healing through a relationship with our God and higher power, Jesus Christ. Our goal is to reveal the truth that God wants to speak to you concerning who you are and the purpose that He has for your life. That life-giving truth will set you free from the pain of life's hurts and help you to experience joy and peace within.
We use a unique method called Creation Therapy which is designed to help you to understand the unique and special person that God created for you to be. Often the wounds of life move us away from the person that God designed us to be and unfortunately we become depressed and feel hopeless. Creation Therapy is designed to reveal the truth that God created you as his special and adored child. Our counseling ministry is founded on the words of Paul to the Roman church: Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect (Romans 12:2).
Transform Counseling Center does not charge set fees. We operate on a faith basis. The first appointment is a free consultation session. Before the second session we ask for each client to prayerfully consider how much he/she believes that he/she should pay for services rendered. Part of the healing process is giving back and making a sacrifice. At the second counseling session each client is asked how much he or she has committed to pay for each session. Payment of that committed amount is then expected at the end of each session.
