In-Home & Other Special Counseling Opportunities
“I wish you could see firsthand what goes on in our home,” moms have said. “Would it be ok if I bring a friend with me to my appointment?” teens and women have asked. “If you could come and stay with us, then we could learn even more from you,” families have commented. “Is there any way we could meet longer than an hour?” Any one of these wonderings (or some variation of them) can actually become reality for you or your friends.
How Do I Know If I Need Something Different?
- If you’ve been in the same situation for a long time & are tired of feeling stuck
- If you’re dealing with multi-layered and complex matters, or multiple people are involved and you need better answers
- If you think a fresh perspective will help get you or your family to a new level of progress or change
- If you need someone from an outside perspective to see what you’re going through
- If you feel limited by one-hour sessions, you’re wishing things could be done a different way, or you’d like to try a new style of support, etc.
- If you or your loved ones have recurring problems & also have unexpected bandwidth in your schedule right now to confront such personal matters
How Does It Work?
- It starts with just being open to having your needs addressed in a fresh way.
- The concept will be instigated by the Lord and agreed upon by those involved.
- Each situation is highly unique and would be designed by us.
- We can discuss your dreams and the parameters of what I can offer to help you reach your goals.
A Few Examples:
This could mean spending an entire day in your home or in my office working through various dilemmas, role-playing, and mending inner-family relationships.
Or it could mean when your friend comes to town, one of your planned activities would be meeting with me to discuss how to support one another more specifically.
Or perhaps your teenager and I would spend the day together to give ample time for building rapport, going deep, and seeing things firsthand.
How Much Does It Cost?
Just as each situation is highly individualized, so will the costs be. Don’t be afraid you can’t afford it. Packages and flexible payment plans can be worked out and you’ll definitely feel like you received a worthwhile benefit for the investment.
What Do Others Say?
“We had hit a wall and having Jen in our home for an extended time worked out beautifully because she was in the ‘HERE AND NOW’ of it. We had some scheduled sessions throughout the day and Jen was able to share a few meals with our teens which led to a profitable family session together. I know it could seem a bit out-of-the-box from traditional counseling, and that is exactly what our family and marriage needed at the time. Also, one of the most treasured aspects of Jen’s counseling style is her complete reliance on Jesus. She is always interceding for guidance and direction and we have a very grateful heart for Jen and her giftedness.”
“I am eternally grateful that God worked everything out for this extra time spent with our daughter in such an intimate setting. I am so excited about the insights He gave to Jen! He showed her significant details that led her to deep understanding and fresh ideas that will help our whole family.”
“It was incredible to see what God did through Jen as she spent unrushed time with us presenting to our sisterhood all the meaningful ways we could come alongside our precious friend in her hard situation. It is clear Jen had spent so much time and energy thinking about how to help our friend and then she LOVINGLY relayed to us all the details she has discovered so that we could minister to our friend with effectiveness. She also even took time to encourage all of us individually as we do life as Christians in this day and age. To spend this extended time meeting with Jen for higher purposes was an amazing, worthwhile experience!!”
What If I’m Still Not Sure?
- Of course, you may feel nervous and unsure about the prospect of pursuing a non-conventional counseling method. Keep praying about it.
- Email me what you’re thinking and I’ll join your prayers.
- As ideas begin to come to our minds, we’ll know what is next.
More Encouragement:
“Even though this kind of counseling breaks through all the norms of what you typically see in a counselor/counselee relationship, it is way worth any insecurity or fear about this type of care. I know it’s so hard to believe she gets in the thick of things like this, but I promise you will not regret giving it a try. I have worked with three other counselors before, and I have never reached this level of trust with them or seen another counselor take their calling so seriously. As you watch Jen work with your family and even your friends, you’ll see the care, wisdom, and insight she uses and you’ll glean from that and learn how to love your people better. If you think there is any chance a creative option could help you, don’t let this opportunity pass you by. Start praying about it now.”
He does great things which we cannot comprehend. (Job 37:5b)
