What We Do

Bay Area Christian Counseling exists to provide counseling services in a safe, comfortable and supportive atmosphere, offering highly personalized approaches that are tailored to meet the unique needs of each of our clients.

We provide confidential, professional counseling services as Maryland State licensed mental health professionals while also integrating a Biblical perspective. We are competent in working with a vast array of mood, personality, social, relational, spiritual, and mental health disorders and issues.

Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.

3 John 1:2 (NIV)

The technical training and experienced counseling skills we possess are the basic requirements that enable us to provide accurate initial evaluations & diagnosis, development of effective rehabilitation and treatment plans for individuals, couples and families. We are also experienced in identifying and assessing individuals, families and environments that are described as being “at risk”. Once these individuals or environments have been identified we are able to provide detailed “safety plans” and “exit strategy plans”.

While most of our counseling is intended to be short-term solution focused psychological counseling we also treat some long-term clients who struggle with Schizophrenia, severe Bipolar disorder, Major Depression and debilitating psychotic events. Many of the clients we see also have dual diagnosis, struggling with substance addiction/abuse and/or polysubstance dependence and mood or personality disorders whilst in addition often reside in a dysfunctional family with additional complex family issues.

If you’re looking for answers to life’s tough questions, guidance and support through a challenging situation or you’re just ready to move into a new direction in your life, we look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
