We define Christian counseling as the process of applying God’s Word to the heart, mind, soul, and strength of those whom we serve. The purpose of counseling is to develop maturity on every level: spiritual, emotional, intellectual, interpersonal, social, economic, and physical. We believe that health and well-being is ultimately rooted in a personal relationship with God through the person of Jesus Christ, but we approach counseling by adopting His philosophy of meeting people wherever they are in their journey. We believe the counseling agent of change is the Holy Spirit working through an authentic relationship between the client and the counselor.
We believe that psychology, like any academic discipline, is most useful when critically examined through the lens of the Old and New Testament. When modern theories and methods of psychology conflict with biblical truth, Scripture is preeminent.

The enneagram is a personality tool rooted in spirituality that can be utilized to better understand yourself and your motivations. In doing so, it can help transform self-defeating behaviors and problematic relationships. Counselors at HopeSprings implement a Gospel-centered perspective of the enneagram to help you discover God’s healing truth for your life. We believe that the enneagram is an amazing tool, but the Gospel is ultimately what transforms us. HopeSprings’ desire is to assist those who serve in becoming who God created them to be so that they can more effectively and graciously serve others.
