    What can I expect from Authentic Connections Counseling Center?

    Relationships are one of the most valued part of our theory of counseling. We view it as an honor to journey alongside towards hope and healing. We excel at tailoring the counseling experience to each person’s individual needs through authentic listening, compassion and empowerment. We offer a safe place for you to unpack some issues and look at them with grace and honesty; a place to connect, to heal and to grow.

    Another thing about us...

    Each therapist at Authentic Connections Counseling Center has a Christian therapeutic foundation and therefore their specialty is integrating the counseling process and the Christian faith. This is always at the direction and request of the client. While we have seen how one’s faith has been instrumental in the healing process, we are also aware that people may have experienced hurt and disappointment in their faith journey and have a lot of mixed emotions, questions and even doubts. We will respect wherever you are at and the exploration will be as you determine. We also encourage and accept anyone from any religious and spiritual background (or no background/beliefs) to meet with us. We offer a safe and non-judgmental place for you to explore and heal.
