No one is exempt from the pressures and problems of life. In many cases, this burden becomes so great that anyone can become stuck in painful and destructive life styles that lead to depression, anxiety and feelings of hopelessness. Compulsive addiction behaviors also occur as individuals attempt to postpone the pain and cope with these problems on their own. At these times, they need thoughtful and experienced Christian guidance from concerned professionals who understand.

Christian Counseling of Sarasota is committed to a Christian philosophy of counseling. We recognize God's role in the healing process and the tools He has afforded such as Scripture and prayer. We want it to be obvious to our patients that we are Christian and that we are providing help with Godly love and compassion in fostering each person's worth and dignity.

Our primary goal is to create a warm, integrative and non-threatening, therapeutic and Christian environment in which patients can work through and resolve conflicts with respect to their values, beliefs and behavior. We feel it is through this process that new hope for living, loving and relating can be achieved and new, more productive life options experienced.
