Counseling & Spiritual Direction

What is the difference between Counseling and Spiritual Direction?

Although spiritual direction is similar to therapy and may touch on some of the same life issues or relationships, it is not counseling or psychotherapy. Counseling addresses psychological and life issues with problem solving and symptom alleviation while working towards common therapeutic goals with a treatment plan. If you plan to use insurance for counseling, please know that insurance requires a mental health diagnosis. Spiritual direction focuses on your relationship with God, is dependent on the leading of the Spirit, and will focus on intimacy with God, spiritual growth, and discernment.

Rates:

Spiritual Direction - $95 per session

Counseling - $150 per session - only available to those residing in Texas
