CHRISTIAN COUNSELING

with Timothy A. Tripp M.S.

Welcome to the Christian Counseling page sponsored by the Northeast Church of Christ. Over the ten years in which I have offered professional Christian counseling services, I have witnessed the power of God working through me and the people who come seeking help, direction, advice and therapy. I do not believe God intended for man to face the world alone. I believe there are times when we all need to seek counsel and advice from good friends, Christian leaders and professional counselors. My philosophy on Christian counseling is that it provides strength, direction and healing using the wisdom and guidance that cannot be found in any man made technique or intervention. I believe Christian counseling should be fully rooted in God's word and lean upon those foundations for the healing of hearts, souls, minds and human relationships.

In my experience as a counselor, I have focused and made some effort to specialize in therapy for marriages and families. I believe strongly that those institutions are God designed to pass on to children the values and moral excellence. In the confines of a healthy family, children learn the skills needed to feel confident about who they are, to deal effectively with emotions and to wind their way through the struggle of human conflict and other problems. In an age where divorce is prevalent, families are suffering and our culture is sending mixed messages about morality and dedication to God, Christians need to aspire to the high calling of holiness. I believe in applying those high standards to marriage and family as well as other areas of life. I am committed to doing what I can to help.

I invite you as a visitor to this page to e-mail me with your questions or comments. I will be happy to make every effort to reply. I will address questions pertaining to your marriage and family as well as personal questions you may have. "E-mail counseling" has its limitations and will never be as effective as the traditional face to face variety but if it can help some begin on the path to healing, I am excited to do it. Send your e-mail to tatripp@cinci.rr.com and put the word "Confidential" in the subject box so I will know the nature of the correspondence and be sure to attend to it as soon as possible. I look forward to hearing from you.
