Pastoral Marriage Counseling
|
Many couples face misunderstandings, resentments, poor communication skills, sexual frustrations, discord, divergent life goals, parenting difficulties, and the like.
If you need someone to mediate, encourage, facilitate communication, and bring sound advice based on Biblical principles to bear in your marriage and family, then you've come to the right place for help.
I offer confidential marriage and family counseling in the privacy of your home from a Christian perspective. I am a Christian pastor and am qualified and experienced to bring real help to your situation:
-- I hold a Masters of Divinity degree from Asbury Theological Seminary.
-- I am an ordained Elder in the United Methodist Church.
-- Counseling is one of my spiritual gifts.
-- I have eight years experience as a senior pastor and another eight years experience as a pastor-missionary, during which time I've done a lot of counseling.
-- I have been married to the same woman for 19 years, and we have four children ages six to fifteen.
Pastoral marriage counseling is different from other kinds of marriage counseling you may find offered out there.
The first difference is that pastoral counseling comes from a Christian perspective: the goal is to bring the resources of our mighty God to bear on our everyday problems. God made us, He knows us well, and His Word offers wise principles to apply in our marriages. Prayer unleashes the power of His Spirit to work in our hearts toward reconciliation.
The second difference is that pastoral counseling is "pastoral." That is, it is relational and involves the giving and receiving of spiritual direction. You can expect that I will focus on your relationship with God, with your spouse, and with your family, and that I will be direct with you about what needs to take place in order for you to see the kinds of changes you are longing for. In particular, I will give you the communication tools you need to improve your relationship with your spouse.
In the course of marriage counseling, it's often necessary to delve into other areas of life that frequently cause marital conflict: finances, child-rearing, in-laws, and the like. You can be assured that these are areas in which I am competent to offer help as well. And if not, I am ready and able to refer you to other skilled providers and specialists as needed.
I always prefer to counsel couples together, with both husband and wife present. I will counsel husbands separately; but I do not meet with wives alone, for propriety reasons, unless my own wife is allowed to be present.
I charge $30/hour, which includes the cost of my coming to your home, or you can come to my home. The "clock" only starts once we actually sit down together. I do not take insurance at this time, but many couples will find that their insurance co-pay is $30 per visit anyway.
If you and your spouse need help, please don't wait until things get worse. Call me at home during business hours at (210)824-9319 and ask for Rev. Ross Taylor. If I'm not at home, please leave a message on my answering machine and I will return your call promptly. Everyone deserves to enjoy the satisfying marriage God intended.
