Drew pleaded with his wife for another chance. He wanted to do better for his family, but he didn’t know how. Reluctant to try counseling before, Drew insisted that he would give it a try if only his wife would give him one more chance. She agreed and Drew sought help through Christian counseling for men. Drew was unsure about counseling at first, but when he saw that his counselor was just another man who had fought his fair share of battles, Drew felt more comfortable and began a journey of discovery and healing.

If you are like Drew and you have reservations about Christian counseling, you are not alone. Research shows that men are less likely than women to seek therapy. Many wait until there is a crisis before finally getting the support they need. As men, we are sometimes taught from a young age to hide our emotions or we might feel that getting help is weak and we should be able to solve our own problems. The dilemma is this: sometimes the very reason men fail to seek counseling is the same reason they need it. Christian counseling for men will address the hard things – and for a practical purpose. In learning to express yourself, you learn more about who you are, who you want to be and how to communicate your needs in a productive way.

 

Christian counseling for men can be of great value as you sort through a variety of issues and no concern is too insignificant. Some of the most common reasons men seek Christian counseling include:

Anxiety and Depression

If you struggle with persistent worry or fears, lack energy or focus or often feel irritable or “down,” you might suffer from anxiety or depression. Among some of the most common, yet under diagnosed issues for men, anxiety and depression can take a huge toll on many areas of your life. We can aid you in getting to the bottom of these issues so you can find more meaning, happiness and peace in Christ for your life.

Anger

Many people, especially men, tend to use anger as their “go-to” emotion. When feeling disappointed, hopeless, frustrated or unloved by self and others, sometimes it is easier to react in anger than to express our true emotions. Not only can uncontrolled anger cause problems with work and relationships, it can also land you in legal trouble. If you struggle with anger management issues, Christian counseling can teach you practical methods for over coming this struggle and gaining lasting control.

Pornography and Sexual Addiction

If you are trapped in a cycle of pornography or sexual addiction, take the first step toward freedom today by reaching out to one of the counselors at Seattle Christian Counseling. Many men battle sexual temptations and unhealthy desires. It doesn’t help that we live in a hyper-sexualized world with borderline pornographic imagery at every turn and temptation always at our fingertips. We understand the lure pornography has on people today, but it can lead to a variety of mental, emotional and personal ramifications. The team of experienced therapists at Seattle Christian Counseling is ready to meet with you for sexual addiction counseling or pornography addiction counseling.

Integrity and Servant Leadership

What does it mean to be a man of God? Sometimes men seek Christian counseling to help answer that question. Together we will explore what it means to be a man of honor, integrity and righteousness. Then we’ll take it a step further and talk about a man’s role regarding leadership. Whether in the home, church or place of work, leadership according to Christ, requires a measure of servitude. A leader is the one who serves first, forgives first, loves first and repents first. Christian counseling for men explores these ideas and more to help you discover Christ within yourself, so you may grow spiritually.

Chemical Dependency

Addiction is a form of bondage that controls your mind and body and it can make you feel like you’re in a dark place spiritually. Seattle Christian Counseling provides effective tools for treating chemical dependency. Whether addicted to drugs or alcohol, we know how difficult it can be to break loose from the strong grasp of addiction. We are dedicated to helping you succeed using a tailored approach made strong by faith in Christ Jesus.

Relationships and Fatherhood

“What women want” is one of the most searched terms on the Internet. If you are among the many men out there who can’t seem to understand women and struggle with relationship issues, you’re not alone. Things like relationships and adjusting to the changes of parenthood can be stressful and at times we need a little help. Christian counseling for men will provide you with faith-based insights, tools and support for forming fulfilling relationships and tackling the sometimes-complicated issues of parenting. This can include relationship counseling, parenting skills counseling and divorce counseling.

Crisis and Trauma Counseling

Everyone, regardless of age or gender, is vulnerable to trauma. Christian counseling for men offers support for those who suffer from issues related to past abuse, neglect or traumatic experiences. If you’ve suffered from trauma, sexual abuse, loss or any other event that impedes your ability to live fully, we are here to offer the solutions and support you need.

Work and Career

Are you interested in career counseling? Many men seek counseling because they are either unsatisfied professionally or lack vision for their lives. In any case, Christian counseling for men’s issues will help you find your passion and purpose so you can not only provide for yourself and your loved ones,but thrive while fulfilling your God-given role.

Spiritual Development

As Christians, we sometimes feel as if the world expects us to have it all together – but like everyone else, we are subject to times of hardship, doubt and temptation. Christian counseling for men seeks to provide all men a place where they can explore issues of faith with like-minded people who understand the ups and downs of spiritual development.

Christian counseling for men’s issues offers a broad-spectrum of therapies. Depending on your needs, your counselor will create a customized approach that suits your unique situation. One thing every approach shares is support for those who wish to express and utilize their faith in the healing process.

Christian counseling for men’s issues is about more than solving problems in your life. Any reputable counseling group offers this. Christian counseling is different because it not only provides evidence-based treatment but provides guidance for those who want spiritual healing so they may grow into the likeness of Christ as promised. In a world that is against things of God, sometimes it helps to have support from others who share our values and have experience in overcoming struggles through faith in Christ Jesus.

Remember Drew? Christian counseling opened Drew’s eyes. He needed to make big changes and thanks to the guidance and tools given him Drew knew he could succeed. Drew discovered a passion for serving God, healed past wounds that fueled his alcoholism and learned how to be the husband and father God created him to be. For the first time in his life, Drew felt like a man. He was confident yet humble, firm yet loving and most of all unbreakable against a world that once threatened to destroy him.

That’s what we are about at Seattle Christian Counseling – helping people like you heal, grow and thrive emotionally, physically and spiritually by building a stronger relationship of faith and trust in Christ.

At Seattle Christian Counseling, we know the pressures you sometimes feel as a Christian. We also understand the many struggles we sometimes face on this earth. The good news is we are shown the way of healing and of life through Christ Jesus. As Christian counselors, we hope to share our passion, experience and knowledge with those who struggle with darkness in their lives. We aren’t here to judge you or make you feel like a lesser person. We are here to encourage and inspire you while providing hope and tools for living a happy, fulfilling, Christ-filled life.
