What is Biblical Counseling
Biblical counseling is a session with trained counselors, not licensed therapists. In the session, the counselor will apply Biblical principles to the client's marriage, relationships, finances, and the spiritual life of the couple or individual seeking counseling. Minors must have a parent's approval and may have an accompanying legal guardian present.

Meet Our Counselors
Jan Stambaugh
Biblical Counseling
My name is Jan Stambaugh. For the past 20 years I have been working to bring healing and hope to women who are hurting, broken, and stuck. Regardless of whether the circumstance is trauma, difficult relationships, loss, or other impactful events, I am committed to helping women move forward as victors, rather than victims. I have a passionate desire for women to experience the abundant life Christ intends for us - one filled with joy, peace and purpose. Instead of simply surviving my own painful life experiences, I’ve experienced triumph as I’ve trusted Jesus through very dark times. It is my greatest privilege and joy to share the truths I’ve learned with others.
