As a Christian, deciding to pursue counseling can be a difficult step. Many judge themselves, or fear judgment from others, for not “having enough faith” or “praying enough” to resolve the situation themselves. Others have sought counseling in the past without success, and worry that trying again will only disappoint. At Battle for Your Life Christian Counseling & Training Services (BFYL), we know that all believers –Yes, ALL believers – have seasons of struggle in their life when they need others to come alongside them. Whether you are struggling with marital problems, battling anxiety or depression, are a wounded believer, or are simply in need of fresh guidance and counsel for the direction of your life, we are here to help you. If you are tired of counsel that relies on the limited wisdom, knowledge and experience of yet another person, and if you do not simply want to learn “how to deal” but how to have victory in your life, we exist to help you.
