Carmel Counseling Center
Types of Services
Assessment and/or Referral:
Needs are determined and treatment recommendations offered according
to each individual client’s life situation, personal history and
current issues.
Individual Counseling:
Clients meet with a counselor for one-on-one assistance in dealing
with life issues. Sessions vary in length.
Marital and
Family Counseling:
Spouses and/or other family members are involved together with a
trained counselor in learning to develop healthy relationships as
God intended.
Support Therapy Groups:
Participants sharing similar challenges come together in an
atmosphere of love and acceptance to further the healing process in
their lives. Groups offered include, but are not limited to the
following topics: self esteem, co-dependency, sexual addiction,
eating disorders, anger management, divorce recovery, parenting and
communication with parents.
Integration of
biblical truths and psychological principles
CCC counselors have received training at seminaries or institutions
with an integration model. This means that problems and health can
be explored in terms of physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and
spiritual aspects.
Inner Healing and
Prayer Therapy
This unique
3-way process is designed to address emotional wounds with biblical
and experiential truth. Counselor assessment determines if this
approach is suitable. Sessions typically average 2 hours in length.
Play Therapy
Children
communicate their thoughts and feeling through play more naturally
than they do through verbal communication. The aim of this method
of therapy for young children is to decrease behavioral and
emotional difficulties that interfere significantly with normal
functioning. Typically sessions are 40 minutes with the child
followed by a 10 minute feedback with the parents.
Ministry Care
CCC is
connected in the Charlotte-Metro area with different churches, para-churches,
and missions organizations. Often CCC is used to provide counseling
and care for those that are in full-time ministry. CCC counselors
are trained in the understanding of the unique stressors that
ministry causes on individual and families.
Internet
Computer Services
In some unique
situations CCC can offer counseling services for missionaries on the
field who are in a part of the world that does not have professional
counseling services. Internet calling will be used to provide
support and care to these missionaries in this unique circumstance.
This service will only be provided after an initial face to face
interview has been done by the CCC counselor and a relationship has
been established.
Career Testing
CCC has a
licensed psychologist on staff who will administer an MMPI and a
Strong’s Inventory to assess for possible career placement. These
tests will be administered at CCC and interpreted by the
psychologist. This assessment is best for young adults who are of
college age or adults who are perhaps looking to change careers.
Student Intern
CCC does offer
an internship for those students who are in graduate programs in the
field of Counseling/Psychology that require practicum or internships
as a part of their curriculum. This is an unpaid position that
allows the student to grow in the knowledge and practice of
counseling. CCC is limited in the number of interns it can have at
one time, thus, this is a highly sought after position and
interviews will be conducted. For more information please contact
davidd@carmelbaptist.org.
Support Groups
CCC offers
various support groups throughout the year. Some of the groups CCC
has run in the past include: Divorce Care, Divorce Care for
Children, Grief Share, Boundaries, and a parenting support group for
adopted children.
