What is Biblical Counseling
Biblical counseling supports individuals facing struggles through Biblical study, talk therapy, scripture memorization, and practical assignments. Rooted in the ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, this approach is classified as Pastoral Counseling in Colorado and is distinct from psychological theories or practices.
​
While understanding human behavior and cognitive processes can provide insights, these methods are temporary solutions for wounds that require a true healer. Biblical counseling seeks the lasting, eternal healing found in Jesus Christ. Our primary resources for this healing are God, the Holy Scriptures, and the revelation of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit.

“See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.” (Col 2:8 ESV)
About Emilie
Hi! I’m Emilie.
I began my journey as a counselor in 2018, but my path in Biblical Counseling started back in 2014. That year was the toughest of my life, and in my search for God-centered support, I met a remarkable woman who introduced me to Christ. Up until then, I faced numerous struggles.
​
I’ve encountered significant hardships, including divorce, alcohol abuse, emotional and physical trauma, and legalism—experiencing many of life's challenges firsthand. However, in 2014, the grace of Jesus Christ transformed my life.
​
Today, I am completing my Master’s Degree in biblical counseling through MIUD and will be an ordained Pastor in Colorado. I work at a local church alongside my husband and children. I am incredibly blessed and grateful to offer others the hope, joy, and promise of a future in Jesus Christ—something I so desperately needed back in 2014.
