Helping families grow.

Welcome to Endure Counseling

Philosophy

We believe that everyone is formed and changed through relationships. Some relationships leave us torn and diminished, while others bring about healing, belonging, and growth. With a counselor, we form a therapeutic relationship that helps us explore what is happening in our lives (past and present), learn more about who we are in relationship to ourselves and others, and grow with hope into the person we are longing to become.

CORE Values

The letters in our name, ENDURE, summarize the core values of our practice. If you have any questions or would like to know more about any of these values, please reach out. We would love to talk more with you.

Empathic Presence. We strive to be fully present and emotionally connected with you throughout the session, actively listening with a humble curiosity and a willingness to learn.

Nourishing Environment. The counseling room should be a place that nourishes holistic growth by providing a space for the client to engage spiritually, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Depth. We believe in counseling that is thoughtful, reflective, and creative in its approach. Problems and relationships are messy and complicated. Often clients have spent countless hours trying to apply solutions before they come to counseling. With this in mind, we want to respect the journey that our clients have been on, and we try not to offer quick solutions. It is our pleasure to spend time thinking about our sessions and the unique needs of each client. We reflect on what growth means for the client, and we look for innovative ways of journeying alongside our clients.

Unashamed that Jesus is Lord. We believe that being created in the image of God gives us value as humans and purpose in life. It is through the redemptive work of Christ that we are provided hope. This hope enables us to forgive others when they have wounded us and courageously begin again when we have failed. We want to be upfront that this is the framework that inspires our counseling. However, we believe that faith is a journey, and we invite all people to grapple with these assertions. Many of our clients, do not hold these views, and we welcome them with respect. Christian beliefs will be addressed to the level that the individual client feels comfortable, which sometimes means not at all.

Resources. Our desire is to be useful and helpful to our community. We know that we cannot always provide what someone may need, so we continually work to build our resources and connections to the community around us. If we are not the place for you to thrive, we will do our best to connect you with the right place.

Everyone. We believe that quality mental health services should be available to everyone, and we strive to make counseling affordable.
