Church Referrals

Partnering with Your Church

At Lime Tree Counseling, we deeply value the role the church plays in people’s lives. As followers of Christ ourselves, we believe in the power of community, prayer, and biblical truth to shape us. But we also know that there are times when professional counseling is needed. That’s why we love partnering with local churches to provide clinical counseling that complements your spiritual journey.

We see ourselves as an extension of the care your pastor and church leadership provide. While your church offers spiritual guidance and discipleship, we offer evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help you navigate the mental and emotional challenges of life. Our aim is to support you in both mind and spirit, so you can experience holistic healing, and live life the way God designed.

Why Counseling Might Be the Right Next Step

Life is filled with seasons of both joy and hardship. You might find yourself feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure of how to cope with certain challenges. While your faith and church community are foundational pillars in your life, sometimes you may need additional tools and guidance to work through difficulties.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress, grief, past trauma, or ongoing emotional struggles, counseling can offer you a safe space to process these issues. Professional therapy allows you to explore your thoughts and emotions, understand their impact, and develop healthier ways of thinking and living.

Just as the Bible tells us to seek wisdom and walk with wise counsel, counseling can be that wise counsel in your life, giving you practical tools to overcome life’s challenges while staying grounded in your faith.

What to Expect in Counseling

It’s normal to feel uncertain about what counseling will be like, especially if this is your first time seeking therapy. Here’s what you can expect when you begin counseling with us:

• An initial consultation: During your first session, you’ll meet with your therapist to discuss what’s been going on in your life and what you hope to achieve through counseling. This session is a chance to get to know your therapist, share your concerns, and set goals for your time together.

• A personalized plan: Together with your therapist, you’ll develop a plan that focuses on the areas where you want to grow or find healing. Your plan will be tailored to your unique needs, and we’ll check in regularly to make sure you’re making progress.

• Ongoing support: As you continue with counseling, you’ll have regular sessions where you can process your thoughts and emotions, learn new coping strategies, and work toward your goals. Your therapist will provide both support and accountability, helping you stay on track.

How to Get Started

If you’re ready to take the next step in your healing journey, it’s easy to get started. Simply fill out the Church Referral Form, and our Client Care Coordinator will contact you and match you with the right therapist for your needs and schedule your first session. You don’t have to go through life’s challenges alone—help is just a phone call or click away.

If your pastor or ministry leader has referred you to us, they care deeply about your well-being and want you to receive the support you need. We’re here to partner with your church in that mission, providing professional counseling that’s rooted in faith and committed to your growth.
