About
Professional Biblical Counseling
A Place for Healing. A Pathway for Growth. A Process of Restoration.
At Awaken 514 Church, we believe counseling is more than help for hard times; it’s part of how God forms us into who we’re meant to be. It’s part of fulfilling the great commission, applied personally and intentionally in life’s hardest seasons.
​
Counseling creates space to be honest, to be seen, and to experience the care of Christ through His people. It’s not only about what’s hurting, it’s about what God is restoring.
​​
Jesus Makes it Possible
The Bible teaches that we were created in the image of God, made to reflect His character, to live in relationship with Him, and to flourish in community with others. But life in a broken world leaves its mark. Sin, suffering, loss, trauma, and patterns of fear or pride can cloud that image, distort our thinking, and damage our relationships.
​
Biblical counseling is one way God works to restore what’s been lost. ​In counseling, we’re not just looking for relief from struggle. We’re seeking to grow, to be conformed to the image of Christ, to walk in wisdom, and to enjoy the kind of wholeness God designed for us. That’s why biblical counseling is discipleship, applied with care, intentionality, and personal attention in life’s hardest seasons.​​
