Values & Beliefs

At The Counseling Cove, all of our providers and staff adhere to the following values & beliefs

Our faith serves as the foundation for our practice, and we affirm the following beliefs. In our counseling, we strive to extend Christ’s love, grace, and truth to those we serve, while upholding the Biblical principles that guide our faith. While we hold to these beliefs, integration of faith-based counseling is optional. We do not impose our values or beliefs on clients.

The Authority of Scripture:We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is the ultimate source of truth for faith, morality, and life.

The Nature of God: We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). He is holy, loving, and sovereign over all creation.

Human Dignity and Identity: We affirm that all people are created in the image of God  and are of infinite value and worth. We believe God created humanity as male and female, two distinct and complementary genders, both of which reflect His image and are part of His perfect design.

The Institution of Marriage: We believe marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God to be a lifelong union between one biological man and one biological woman. This union reflects Christ’s relationship with His Church and is the only Biblically sanctioned context for sexual intimacy.

The Sanctity of Life: We affirm the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death and believe that life is a sacred gift from God.

Redemption Through Christ: We believe that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God but through Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection, forgiveness and redemption are offered to all who repent and believe in Him.

The Call to Love and Serve:We are called to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
