What is BHKM Counseling?

​

BHKM Counseling helps people move from “coping” to intentional healing and formation.
We integrate:

  • biblical wisdom

  • emotional health insight

  • trauma-informed awareness

  • practical tools for everyday life

This is not casual conversation — it is a structured, guided counseling process.​

​​

How is this different from talking to my pastor or church leaders?

​

Pastors offer encouragement, prayer, and guidance — and that matters.

BHKM Counseling provides:

  • longer, focused time devoted just to you

  • ongoing sessions (not one-off talks)

  • deeper work around patterns and roots

  • tools for anxiety, grief, stress, and relationships

  • confidentiality and a clear process

We don’t replace your pastor — we walk alongside where deeper work is needed.

​

Why would I pay for counseling when church conversations are free?​

​

You’re not paying for friendship or access.

You are investing in:

  • preparation and case planning

  • structured, intentional sessions

  • guidance, accountability, and follow-through

  • specialized pastoral counseling training

  • dedicated time reserved specifically for your healing

Payment supports consistency and stewardship — so real change can happen.

​

What kinds of issues do you help with?​​

​

Common areas include:

  • anxiety, stress, and overwhelm

  • grief and loss

  • burnout and exhaustion

  • spiritual confusion or discouragement

  • boundaries and relational patterns

  • church hurt and spiritual wounds

  • trauma-aware support (within pastoral scope)

  • major life transitions

When a situation requires clinical care, we collaborate and refer as needed.

​

Do you only do biblical counseling?

​

BHKM is rooted in Scripture — and also honors emotional and nervous-system realities.

We slow down, identify roots, and integrate faith with mental and emotional health.

Not “try harder.”
Not “just pray more.”

Thoughtful, wise, Christ-centered formation.

​

What happens during a session?

​

A typical session may include:

  1. Gentle check-in

  2. Exploring what’s really happening beneath the surface

  3. Noticing patterns, triggers, and emotional reactions

  4. Biblical reflection and prayer

  5. Simple tools and practices to use during the week

Many people say counseling helps connect dots they’ve never seen before.

​

Is counseling confidential?

​

Yes — confidentiality is handled seriously.

Exceptions include:

  • risk of harm to self or others

  • abuse involving minors or vulnerable adults

  • legal obligations

Whenever possible, concerns are discussed before action is taken.

​

​How long do people typically attend?​

​

It varies.

  • Short-term: 4–6 sessions for focused issues

  • Longer-term when deeper formation is needed

We regularly review progress so sessions stay purposeful and helpful.

​

​

How do I get started?

​

Reach out to request an initial conversation.
We’ll determine together whether BHKM Counseling is the right fit and move at a pace that feels safe and thoughtful.

​

What happens if you believe I’m not the right fit?

​

We will be honest — kindly and clearly.

If needed, we help connect you with better-suited resources.
Our priority is your healing, not filling sessions.
