Healing Through Relationship

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.

A Unique Approach to Counseling

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.
