What is Counseling?
Counseling is a therapeutic relationship between the therapist and client which exists for the purpose of creating self-awareness and change within the client. The therapist uses therapeutic questions, life-skills training, teaching, and active listening to guide the client toward specific goals.
Most clients would agree that counseling "opens their eyes" to patterns of behavior, choices, relationships, or ways of thinking that are damaging to them and the people they love. While there are no guarantees to the effectiveness of counseling it is true that the harder the client works the more benefits they will notice.

Christian Counseling
Herrin Counseling is Pastoral in the sense that we believe there is "nothing the nearness of Christ cannot overcome." Clients who have an encounter with the living God cannot walk away unchanged. As one exchanges the "old life" for the "new life in Christ" (2 Cor. 5:17), that person begins to experience victory over the struggles in life and begins to enjoy life "moment by moment" and in the "here and now."
You do not have to be a Christian to discover the power of change found through counseling. Herrin counseling is sensitive to the needs of the client and will help the client discover tools necessary for real change in his/her life. The counseling session is the easiest part of counseling. The results again depend on how much work the client puts into it during the course of the week!
