1. We believe that counseling is a meeting of two (or more) people for the purpose of discussing soul issues with an eye toward healing.

2. We believe that wounds are created through human relationship and healing must therefore come through relationship. The counseling relationship is a good way to begin the healing process.

3. We believe that a person’s soul can and should be seen through more than just their words and because of this we make an effort to incorporate arts and culture into the counseling process.

4. We believe that lives are made of stories and therefore, we strive to understand those stories as well as assist clients in articulating, understanding and owning their unique stories.

5. We believe that God is the author of our stories and that he is involved in them.

6. We believe that the client’s needs drive the focus of treatment, and not our preconceived notions of what needs to be done.
