Does the idea of Christian counseling make you nervous? If so, you’re not alone. Studies have shown that men are only about half as likely to seek counseling for mental health issues than women, often waiting until problems are at or well past the crisis point before finally admitting they need help.

This is due to several factors, pride and self-reliance foremost among them. Men are taught from a young age to handle problems themselves, and that asking for help (even when desperately needed) is a sign of weakness.

The other major factor that discourages men from seeking counseling is the stigma attached to mental health issues. Though many people suffer from problems related to mental health, society tends to look down on them, which acts as a deterrent for many men.

Reasons For Seeking Counseling

There are, however, a number of common reasons men seek Christian counseling and interestingly, not all of them are mental health problems. These include:

Leadership counseling. Men frequently find themselves in positions of leadership and want to know how to improve their leadership skills. The counselors in Spokane can help you learn what true leadership is and give you the tools to grow into the leader that your company or organization needs.

Integrity-building. True Biblical manhood means radical integrity. We will come alongside you and together explore what the Bible has to say about honesty, morality, and conscience as you seek to live out a life of integrity before God.

Sex and Porn Addiction. It should not be news to anyone that our society is drenched in sex. It should also come as no surprise that men, the usual targets of society’s preoccupation with sex, fall into addiction to sex and/or pornography. These two devastating sins can create utter chaos and inflict untold damage on you, your loved ones, and your life.

If you are enslaved to sex or porn, let us help you break free.The counselors at our office are ready to counsel you for sex or porn addiction and help you regain a life of disciplined purity.

Anxiety and Depression. Do you frequently feel “down,” wrestle with worry, fear, or frequent lack of energy? If so, you may be suffering from depression or anxiety. Give us a call. We provide full services for anxiety or depression counseling to help you to take back your life.

Chemical Dependency. Addiction is enslavement, and it puts one in a bad way socially, legally, and spiritually. No matter what the substance is, it can be difficult (and sometimes impossible) to get clean alone. Let us help you regain your freedom through chemical dependency counseling.

Anger issues. Anger can be like a drug for some people. Losing control can actually feel good. But it is easy (and normal) for anger to be sinful. As James 1:19 teaches, “…  let every person be … slow to anger.” Anger issues can lead to devastating consequences in the home and workplace. Let us help you regain control through anger management counseling.

Relationships counseling.Men and women are different and consequently have different needs and expectations from any relationship. Do you need help navigating the complexities of the important relationships in your life? We can help. Our counselors can provide you with the tools you need to bring health and vitality to all your relationships.

Crisis and Trauma Counseling. No matter who you are, even Christians can experience trauma. Trauma can have long-lasting effects and if not dealt with properly, can lead to other mental health problems such as depression and anger issues. In times of crisis you will be glad to have someone to come alongside and help you through, so give us a call.

Work and Career Counseling. Maybe you need help knowing where to go next in your career, or maybe you are looking to change careers. Your counselor can help you work through whatever hurdles you may be facing and create a plan of action to get you where you want to be in your career.

Any counseling group can provide mere problem-solving services. While Spokane Christian Counseling makes use of time-tested counseling methods and psychological techniques, that is where the similarity ends. What makes us different is that we also make use of the teachings of the Bible and the Bible’s view of mankind. Ultimately, our goal is to help you become more Christ-like.

The counselors at Spokane Christian Counseling understand what you are facing as a Christian man, and we are familiar with the struggles that men face against the world, the flesh, and the devil. Jesus Christ brings healing and wholeness to our lives.

As Christian counselors, our goal is to share our passion, skills, and experience with men like you who may be struggling with the darkness of sin or oppression. We want to inspire hope and help you find the tools to live a happy, healthy life in Christ.

Should I see a male Christian counselor?

That will entirely depend on you. Some men feel more comfortable opening up to other men. Others feel more comfortable with women. Though some topics are more easily addressed by other men, the choice is yours. We have both men and women on staff.

How long does Christian counseling last?

There is no set time for Christian counseling. Some clients make rapid progress, while others have more deep-seated questions or issues that take longer. You and your counselor will sit down and talk over a plan of attack for your particular situation that will give some indication of how long counseling will last.

Do you offer Christian counseling for male teens?

Yes! We offer Christian counseling for people of both genders and all ages and backgrounds. We understand the sorts of issues that teens face in today’s world, so give us a call to learn more about Christian counseling for children and teens.
