At the Biblical Counseling Center, our therapists create an environment where people can be themselves, knowing that the therapeutic process is built on godly wisdom, trust, hope, and genuine Christian love. We come alongside our clients in their emotional journeys, going beyond outward symptoms to the inward cause and inviting genuine change.
The Biblical Counseling Center views counseling as a wholelistic healing relationship which incorporates the body, soul and spirit—one where we enter deeply into the lives of those in pain and crisis to bring them to a place where they can love God, love others and love themselves. After all, most lasting wounds come through relationships.
Biblical Counseling Center is first and foremost a Christian ministry which provides professional mental health counseling and offers a variety of comprehensive services to the Tampa Bay Area and beyond. Working with clients of all ages, our experienced therapists and psychologists help guide both individuals and families to relational wholeness.
Healing Through Relationship
Those who serve with the Biblical Counseling Center believe that the most effective counseling is not based on a number of steps or easy answers. Rather, counseling is a process that helps people identify where they have built a life apart from God and that calls them to authentic relationship with Him and with others. In other words biblical counseling is discipleship in Christ that is problem based.
This counseling practice is a professional service. The fee schedule below is based on my professional experience, education, the usual and customary fees in this region, and biblical principles on fair fees (Deuteronomy 8:18; Luke 10:7; 1Tim 5:18) and financial stewardship.
In an effort to make our services as widely accessible as possible, scholarships are available. Scholarships are determined on an individual basis by the staff of the Biblical Counseling Center. Please call and ask for more information!

Please follow these steps for insurance visits:
1) Call your insurance company to verify your mental health coverage; ask if you need pre-authorization, how many sessions you’re allowed per year, what your co-pay is, whether or not your deductible has been met (if necessary), and whether the counselor you will be seeing is part of your insurance company’s panel (if necessary). Bring this information to your first session.
