Youth and Children Counseling

Bring The Children

Jesus said to bring the little children to Him because His grace abounds in children too. Our caring staff help children understand lies and lead them to know God’s truth. We have child-friendly “fun sheets” to help children understand and overcome anxiety, depression, anger, and fear.

  • Children’s sessions are about 45 to 60 minutes long.

  • Parents should enroll in our Reigning in Life Conference to equip them with new resources and language to help support what their child is learning.

Let No One Look Down On Youthfulness

It is common for teens to go through and identity crisis and struggle with self-esteem. With additional stressors, it can be too much to process. The frontal cortex of the brain, where reasoning happens, is not fully developed, which contributes to doubt, fear, anxiety, anger, and depression. Our caring staff help youth understand themselves and other so they can move through the teen years more confidently. We address everything from self-esteem to self-harm. 

  • Youth sessions are about 60 to 75 minutes long. 

  • Parents should enroll in our Reigning in Life Conference to equip them with the resources to help ensure that their child overcomes and is prepared for life’s ups and downs. When parent’s aren’t directly involved, most youths continue to feel alone and on their own which is counterproductive for lasting healing, freedom, and victory.
