Christian Therapy has its Fundamentals in psychology and theological knowledge which comes from God’s Word, the Bible. The idea of incorporating the Bible into a psychology therapy was determined by, God knows us better than any person on Earth and He is the only one that could change us in any way. That includes the mind, will and emotions of every human being!

In this therapy, we incorporate psychological knowledge to find and tell the patient the reality of his or her situation, which means what mental disease he or she has: anxiety, eating disorders, depression, addiction. Utilizing psychology appropriately help us to scientifically understand our patient and identify the methods we need to use to help them. By knowing God’s Word and having Jesus as our role model; we encourage our patients to overcome their illness. It gives them hope and motivation to face their issues and to walk the hard road of recovery.

“(22)So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.(23)And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.(24)And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?(25)And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: that he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, Read the rest of this entry »

“(1)BLESS the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. (2)Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: (3)who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; (4)who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth theee with loving-kindness and tender mercies; (5)who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

“We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law am I dead to the law, that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.” Galatians 2:15-21
