Who all is involved in the counseling process in a local church’s counseling ministry?
You will find that Christian counselors typically work in teams, since team counseling has many benefits for both the counselee(s) and the counselors (Proverbs 11:14, 15:22, 18:17, 20:18, 24:6; Matthew 18:16). Sessions are conducted with one counselor leading the team and possibly one or two others assisting. You, as a counselee, are a vital member of the team as you seek to overcome the problems in your life. The most important member of the team, however, is the Lord Himself, in the Person of the Holy Spirit. He will provide the hope, enabling, and wisdom (through God’s Word) for you to face and deal with your problems (John 14:26; Romans 5:3-5, 8:26-27; Ephesians 3:16).
