My philosophy for counseling is simple. We must work together to clearly illustrate who you are; your identity, today. From where does your identity come? In doing so, we can assess where Jesus is in your life. We can identify underlying causes of symptoms; the root of the problem. We can replace the Self as the center of your Life and replace it with Christ. In doing so, you will have a new identity in Christ and not of self. When we operate our lives in total surrender to Christ we are accessing God's Holy Spirit in us rather than our fleshy self as it is within the fleshy self that our sin and outward/inward manifestations stem from.
