True Hope Counseling will implement the core values by:

• Providing love and acceptance, and treating each individual with dignity and value.
• Using the Word of God as the foundation to all counsel given within the office.
• Integrating psychology with theology. While we recognize that there are valuable academic concepts from psychology, we will use the Word of God as the final authority during the integration process. Any psychology that is in contradiction to Biblical truths and principles, will not be integrated into the counseling process.
• Emphasizing the truths of God's Word, especially those pertaining to finding one's identity in Christ, as well as the resources God has provided via His Word and the Holy Spirit for all individuals to live a “life of godliness”.
• Reminding all individuals of the promises God has provided in Scripture. We will consistently encourage clients to claim these promises for themselves.
• Advocating for those clients who are unable to speak for, or protect themselves. This may include everything to following ethical guidelines within the counseling process to filing police reports concerning abusive situations. We will always make it our aim to err on the side of safety for our client.
• Teaching the Biblical roles of each family member as God has clearly outlined in Scripture.
• Implementing an internship program with area colleges and universities for those preparing for Christian counseling ministry.
• Establishing True Hope Counseling as a place in which individuals who have been called into a full-time ministry using the gifts God has given them, particularly those pertaining to Christian counseling, may live out their calling on a full-time basis while earning an adequate income.
• Creating and launching a website that offers professional Christian counseling beyond the outreaches of our surrounding community, via internet counseling and email counseling

True Hope Counseling exists to give individuals and families professional assistance at ministry-based fees by integrating psychology with God's Word, resulting in healing and life transformations
