Clinical Excellence and Christian Counseling
What is Christian Counseling
Christian Counseling is a form of professional mental health care that integrates psychological principles with spiritual truth for clients who desire to incorporate their faith into the therapeutic process. At New Life Counseling Center, our Christian Counselors offer a space where clients can explore life’s challenges, while also engaging with their Christian beliefs and values.
It is our belief that psychology can be used in helpful ways to enhance human growth and transformation, while remaining faithful to God – and that psychology does not need to take an antithetical position to faith. In short, we believe in both faith and reason, together.
Our Philosophy
NLCC’s philosophy of human nature is basically optimistic. We see the human spirit as created by God, and is adaptable, enduring, and capable of creative growth. This is the foundation of why we do what we do. If a client requests to incorporate Christian spirituality into counseling, our therapists are well trained to do so. However, we are incredibly respectful of our clients’ faith beliefs, including those who profess faith and those who do not. Whomever we are serving, we will offer academically trained and clinically robust counseling.
Working with a Christian Therapist
Working with a Christian Therapist means that spiritual concerns are welcome, and the Bible can be used alongside evidence-based counseling approaches. Unlike Biblical Counseling, which strictly uses Scripture alone, Christian Counseling utilizes both Scripture and clinically supported tools. The psychological resources are seen as helpful under the authority of Scripture and used to support growth, healing, and transformation.
​
Whether you want to integrate prayer, Scripture, or simply have a therapist who understands the role of faith in your life, we’re here to walk alongside you with grace and clinical excellence. Here at New Life, our common Christian faith is based on the Apostles Creed, and we’ll follow your lead as the client in understanding what your own Christian values are and how you want to live them out towards human flourishing.
Faith Based Counseling
Our faith-based counseling approach reflects the life of Jesus, who extended compassion and care to people from all walks of life. Similarly, our Christian Counselors work with clients across a range of backgrounds, beliefs, and life experiences, creating a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore spiritual questions, struggles, and hope. This means that we will walk alongside you, not preaching but rather accompanying you as a fellow Christian.
​
This can be especially powerful when you feel stuck between psychological and spiritual concerns. And at the same time, it can be overlooked just how much faith can be a resource for one’s mental health. Our therapists are trained to help clients navigate both without having to choose between emotional wellness and spiritual integrity.​​
Our Locations
We have offices conveniently located in West Lake Hills and Round Rock. So, if you are looking for a Christian therapist in Austin, Bee Cave, Round Rock, or Leander, we have a team of trained clinicians ready to support you. We also serve all of Texas virtually, so if you’re interested in Christian Counseling, but live a little far away in Texas, we’d be happy to offer you virtual appointments.
Specialties
New Life Counseling Center aims to provide access to affordable and quality mental health care in our community.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, or other mental health symptoms, affordable counseling can make the support you need more accessible.
At New Life, we have therapists who are specialized in helping individuals overcome depression, persistent sadness, and the weight of negative thoughts that can feel overwhelming and get caught in a cycle. There is much potential for transformation when one understands what goes into the negative thought cycles and how to interrupt the intensity.
Grief is a natural and often overwhelming response to loss. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a miscarriage, a major life transition, or even a loss of identity or purpose, grief touches every part of our being—emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. At New Life, we offer grief counseling that honors the complexity and uniqueness of your experience.
Life is full of change, and navigating transitions can be one of the most challenging aspects of our journey. Whether you're facing the empty nest, struggling with a failure to launch, starting college, facing divorce, or moving through other life stages, our life transition therapy services are designed to guide you through these significant changes.
Men face unique challenges when it comes to mental health. Societal expectations of self-reliance can make it difficult to seek help. At New Life, we use Bowen Family Systems Therapy to address men's issues with a focus on breaking cycles of stress, fostering emotional resilience, and building healthier relationships. Whether you're searching for men's therapy options or exploring male emotional well-being, we're here to help.
Do you find yourself caught in a cycle of negative thinking? Negative thought cycles often feel deeply personal — but Bowen Family Systems Therapy (BFST) helps us see them in a broader context. Our patterns of thinking and self-talk are not just individual habits; they’re shaped by the emotional systems we grew up in. If you're wondering how to stop negative thoughts or how to break the habit of a negative self-talk cycle, therapy can help.
Premarital counseling is a proactive way to build a strong, lasting foundation for your marriage. It helps couples enhance relationship satisfaction, improve communication, and gain practical tools for long-term success. Working with a licensed therapist provides a supportive, neutral space for couples to explore their relationship in depth.
When you see the phrase “problems in marriage,” what comes to mind for you? To create and sustain a thriving marriage is no easy task — and yet it is quite a worthy investment. New Life therapists are ready to help you get the most out of the marriage counseling process so that you and your spouse can create a pathway towards lasting transformation.
Navigating sexual issues in a relationship can feel lonely. It can also feel mentally, emotionally, and even physically painful. These challenges often bring feelings of confusion, shame, frustration, or disconnection. Therapy can be a helpful tool. At New Life, we provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for individuals and couples to explore challenges related to sex and intimacy.
