Exploring Family Dynamics

"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.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS COUNSELING?
As stated above, 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.
Please keep in mind, counseling is more effective when it is used as a preventative measure versus reactionary. Consider reaching out before you’re in crisis.

HOW MUCH DOES THERAPY COST?

We understand counseling can be a BIG investment with your time and money. If you are willing to invest your time, we would love to explore financial options with you.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED COUNSELING?
- You are the expert when it comes to knowing how you are doing and what is “normal”. If you find yourself in an abnormal situation behaviorally or emotionally, seeking a counselor may be a helpful option to address this.
- Something you can ask yourself: Is this issue causing significant distress or inhibiting life? AKA Is this issue preventing me from doing life (getting out of bed, going to work, socializing, etc). If so, this is your body telling you something needs tending to.
CAN I UTILIZE ORANGEWOOD'S SERVICES IF I'M NOT A BELIEVER OR MEMBER OF THE CHURCH?
Absolutely. Our mission extends to any person who is seeking to care for their whole personhood.
