"God meets us in our brokenness, not after we've cleaned ourselves up." — Dan Allender
It Matters That You're Here
Our hearts, minds, and bodies often remind us of the struggles we all face — pain from our past, difficult relationships, overwhelming emotions, or just feeling stuck. When we are reminded of these struggles, we tend to rely on our own strength, living in constant survival feeling exhausted, defeated, and at times hopeless. This is the reality of being human, we have limitations to what we can do on our own.
Here at Orangewood we believe in Jesus who is also known as “Emmanuel”, which translates to “God is with us”. What this means is, if you have placed your trust in Jesus, then He is with you always. He is there in the grief. He is there in the Joy. He is there in the darkness. Jesus invites us to rely on Him and He will be our strength to get through every struggle we face. Without Jesus, humans will continue to draw on their own strength, which will eventually burn out.
We believe God desires for you to experience wholeness and restoration. A tool to seek this is through counseling. Counseling is a safe and loving space where God’s love meets you right where you are. You are invited to explore your heart and mind, discover God’s unfailing grace, and take steps toward becoming a healthy, whole person—emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. No matter where you are in your journey, you are not alone, and hope is always within reach.
