What We Do
What is Christian Counselling?
Our mission at Cascade is to “provide psychologically valid Christian Counselling and consulting services to the whole community.” We welcome individuals of all or no faiths, although Christian counselling at Cascade means that the counsellors are Christians and will work from a Christian worldview. While our focus is working with Christians in a faith-affirming context, we find that those of any faith appreciate working with a counsellor with a spiritual perspective. Our hope is that you will feel cared for, heard, and deeply understood.
