My church has offered to pay my bill. Is that ok?

If you are seeking faith-based, or Christian counseling, it is absolutely ok that your assembly of faith would partake in paying for counseling and many churches already participate in a plan for payment. To find out if your church participates with our office in providing payment, give our office a call, or call your pastor or office staff of your church.

Can I bring children to my session? Is child care provided?

Child care is not provided and there are currently no means to entertain your child as counseling is a process that requires your full, undivided attention. We do provide counseling for minors; this is different than family therapy and is a situation focused therapy that is a service for children 6 and older.

What does faith-based counseling mean?

Christian, or faith-based, counseling is provided in a modality that uses the standard of the Bible as a guideline. Proverbs 15:22 says that plans fail without guidance; make sure you have well-guided advisors to provide ministry to you!

Are you affiliated with a particular church?

GFAF is a para-church ministry, meaning we act as a resource for area churches. As a contact or resource for the Rehoboth Baptist Association, the local Baptist group that is caretaker to the 60-something churches in the area, Jennifer works with their staff and is a resource for their pastors so rest-assured she upholds the standards they promote if one of their pastors suggested our office. Also, Jennifer works with many churches in the area and is glad to offer her services to them as they minister to families at a larger scale.

Do you bill insurance?

Our office is not equipped to bill every insurance company at this time, but several clients do bill their company third party. If you are interested in learning more details, we can discuss this option at your first session. Call our office for more details.

I am currently on medication. Can you help out with that?

Physicians who suggest counseling in conjunction with medication to help resolve their problems know that some medications are necessary to allow the individual to actually learn to achieve changes in their behavior. Some psychiatrists do their own counseling but most do not and refer to counselors to aide behavior change. Research shows that the combination of medications and therapy often work better than medications alone. We do not guarantee that this would be the case in any particular situation. There is some possibility that reduction or elimination of medications could occur at some point.
