Biblical Counseling

About Our Biblical Counseling

“Jesus Christ is the Balm of Gilead - He heals the wounds of God's children.” - Jeremiah 8:22

The word of God declares that He comforts us in tribulation that we may also comfort others with the same measure of comfort that we have been comforted. That is the burning desire that we have in our hearts. God heals us and gives us a life beyond our pain and uses us radically where we were wounded the most. We pray that you find the healing that you are seeking.

Who We Are

The Balm of Gilead is a Christian Counseling, Education & Resource Ministry. We are a group of counseling professionals and ministry individuals whose lives have been radically changed by the healing power of God. We are dedicated to ministering to God's hurting children and have a burden and a passion to see the Living God of the universe break the chains of bondage and set the captives free one heart at a time through counseling and other resources and services.

Help for Hurting Hearts

Have you reached a place where your circumstances, relationships or other factors are causing you severe emotional pain? Are you finding it difficult to claim God's promises over your life?

Jesus said that He came to give us life and that more abundantly. You are a child of promise and should be experiencing the fullness of Christ despite the wounds of the past or the circumstances around you. God wants to remove any barriers to spiritual and emotional health in your life and heal, restore and set you free. Jesus is the Balm of Gilead. He is the ointment that can soothe and heal the wounds of God's children. There is help for your hurting heart.

We are here to minister to your counseling needs. However, we can't emphasize enough that our counselors are merely vessels that can assist you as you walk through the door towards healing and freedom, and it is only the redemptive power of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit that can heal you from the inside out. We take very seriously the lives that God entrusts to our care and consider it a privilege to minister to your needs.

The Process

Those seeking counseling must be willing to commit to an intensive counseling process designed to shed light on the driving factors behind unhealthy behaviors and emotional pain.

Whatever your struggle, there is a root cause for all the unhealthy coping mechanisms that have been erected in order to survive, which have led to more pain and more layers of bondage. This process will uncover faulty belief systems leading to emotional and spiritual death replacing them with God's truth which leads to abundant life. From there we can begin to gain our identity as a precious child of the living God and know our value and worth in our loving Savior Jesus Christ. We will then stop looking to people, places and things to get our needs met and instead find our sufficiency in Christ and His purpose and calling for our lives. That's where we find true healing and freedom.
