"Pastor Ralph Talks About People & Our Telephone Counseling Program."
Some
Thoughts About People, Our Program,
Our Methods & The Ways We May Be Able to Help.
A Note from
Dr. Ralph:
"We're
a busy people in America and our time must be spent
wisely.
Good Health, whether it be mental,
emotional, physical or spiritual, is
a must to
efficient performance and an advantage in this
stressful world."
This
Service is for the
"Functioning
Generally Pretty Well, but Needing Some Serious,
Specific, Private Help and Support"
or
"I've Waited Too Long
and Things are Getting Out of Hand"
Woman, Man, Their Marriage and Family Members. These
are people who understand the value of time, are
self aware and know there are places in life, where
a Confidential, Professional, Counselor, Friend and
Mentor is of great value. The good people with whom
I work with realize the importance of their
situation. These folks are seriously interested in
making the necessary adjustments and expect to
follow practical, sometimes difficult to affect, but
reasonable and necessary life course changes and
recommendations to enrich their lives.
The
People I speak with are successful in their own
right and field. Sometimes, however, there are very
personal areas that need serious attention, issues
that need to be worked through or an emotional
disorder, wound or behavior which needs to be
focused, healed and treated, which of course
benefits the whole person. They know, or have
learned, that taking care of a problem, not denying
it, gets it most quickly resolved.
Combining
Online Telephone and E-Mail Counseling offers some
superb advantages in terms of appointment time,
convenience and confidentiality. E-Mail Counseling
is based on the time it takes for me to "Read and
Reply" to your message. In some cases this will only
be a few minutes of my time and a lot of writing on
your part and at other times I might receive a
barrage of concerns from you and may need to give
time and thought before responding to your questions
or save it for discussion in our private sessions.
E-Mail Counseling and Journaling has become a
tremendous form of communication for many of the
folks who I work with. At your convenience, and at a
time You are ready to share what's on your mind or
heart, just type away and send it off to me.
Sometimes you may only want me to read your message
, reserving a response for a later session.
Sometimes you'll have questions or you'll want me to
give you some direction by replying. It's a good
feeling knowing that someone who cares will be
reading seriously, and therefore listening...
E-Mail
Counseling is based on the time it takes for me to
"Read and/or Reply" to your message and is at the
same basic per minute rate. In some cases this will
only take a few minutes of my time, to make a
suggestion or to ask you to think something out. At
other times, I will receive more information from
you and will need to give you more of an in depth
answer, in order to properly address your concerns,
questions and situation. Combining TELEPHONE and
E-MAIL COUNSELING offers some wonderful advantages
over office visits in terms of appointment time
convenience and confidentiality.
For Personal, Marital and Relationship Problems.
"There's been a great deal of stress and
pressure lately. I feel sometimes that I'm
going to lose it. I've come to a point where I
know it's time to get some help in making some
meaningful changes for myself and my marriage. I
would like to talk out some things with someone who
is not biased, trustable and is outside of my
family, work and social circles."
If there are some personal problems, questions,
decisions, issues or relationships that you would
like to spend some time talking about in an
atmosphere where you will be listened to and heard. If
you would like sensible explanations, honest
feedback, reasonable recommendations and a
non-biased, professional point of view in a safe,
caring and private environment. If your emotions are
becoming alarmingly unpredictable and out of
control.
"I realize I need to be careful now and take
a clear look at my situation before I make a some
rather serious life changing decisions that I've
been considering for some time now. I need to
make these moves not out of emotion but with the
help of someone who can make sure I am being
reasonable." If
you would like a serious Christian perspective.
There are some very personal matters I've been
wanting to share with someone in confidence for a
long time now..."

In It's
Simplicity: Our Treatment Program
Though
out the years of my private practice, beginning back
in 1972, I have found that significant healing and
continuous mental health requires a variety of
approaches.
My Clients have a wide range of counseling needs:
Sometimes we'll have several sessions a week,
especially at the beginning, and other folks really
just want someone they can trust available, AS
NEEDED, perhaps once a month, or when things build
up and they want to spend some time letting go of
feelings and stresses with a safe, confidential,
professional friend.
This is your
life, so you decide how often you would like to talk
and at what pace you're comfortable with handling
serious issues...
There are many parts of us which need to be
considered, evaluated,
understood, dealt with,
accepted and perhaps changed in order to
promote effective healing and permanent personal
growth.
Some of these areas are:
| * Physical -
Biological. |
* How We Relate to
God. |
| * Mental -
Cognitive - Thought. |
* Spiritual Issues-
Purpose. |
| * Emotional
-Feeling Levels. |
* Our Past
Experiences. |
| * Personal - Social
Relationships. |
* Our Present
Circumstances. |
| * Daily Activities
- Work. |
* Our Future
Expectations - Goals. |
| * Family - Marital. |
* Environmental
Forces. |
| * Powerful
Relationships |
* Major Life
Changes & Trauma. |

Health and Well Being come from:
1. Getting
to Know Honestly, Where
We Stand or How We Have
Been Affected in These Areas.
2. Learning
and Accepting the Realities of What We Do and Who We
are.
3.
Realizing We Can Be in Charge and No Longer a
Victim.
Simply: We are What We Believe,
Say and Think and How We Act as a Result.
Finding a Way to Carefully, Sometimes Patiently, and
Yes, with
Help and Hard Work, Powerfully Change
to The Place Where and
The Person Whom We
Really Want to Be...
4. Finding
the Path to Health and Wholeness by applying simple
and powerful Biblical Principles and getting to know
Our Father God, Very Personally and Specifically,
for You in This Life, through developing a Profound,
Loving, Ongoing and Constant Relationship with Him
through Our Lord and Living Saviour Jesus Christ.
In most cases, effective professionals are aware of
and do address the mental or cognitive, the
behavioral, the emotional-social and physical
aspects of their patients in order to affect relief.
There is another area with is often not considered.
This Area is Spirituality: the
Relationship A Person Has with God. Full Health and
Happiness are based on the quality and depth of this
connection. I believe this connection is the most
important and has the most profound effect on
getting well.
Our Program consists of using The Biblical
Principles and Methods of Christianity and Christian
Counseling Psychology, put into sensible and
understandable practice, as well as some of the
Traditional
Cognitive-Behavioral
Treatment, Reduction and Relief Models, to dissolve
Fear in any of it's forms: Anxiety, Phobia, Panic
and Stress as well as The Many Faces and Forms of
Depression and Degrading and Low Self Image. I
believe this array and or parts of it, offers the
most powerful and effective means of relief and
healing for serious personal issues that affect not
only ourselves but our families, social and business
contacts.
Our idea of A
Christian Program is non-judgmental, not degrading
or guilt producing, and in fact, alleviates guilt.
Often Our People have suffered A
Childhood
or Adult History of Victimization, Degradation,
Humiliation, Physical, Verbal and Mental Abuse or
Some Form of Horrible Trauma or Emotional Loss.
All
of Our Christian Treatment Methods are based on
Simple Biblical Principles and have always been
universally accepted by Folks of Every Christian
Denomination. They are realistic, understandable and
powerful because God is the Wonderful Counselor and
Healer. There
is a tremendous amount of Love and Mercy that God
has for us. "Perfect Love Casteth Out All Fear" and
"Be Anxious for Nothing" are commonly known bible
verses, and the Peace that is offered by God's Word,
is what we want you to have. Making this work
practically and effectively for you and in today's
society and truly understanding the depths of His
Love for You, and how to access it, is a very
central and serious part of our job.
In some cases, with your
permission, I will be working with your family
physician or psychiatrist to use various appropriate
medications if they are called for, to help you in
healing, and/ or for a time. We believe medication
should be used only if necessary and then carefully
administered and monitored. These medications work
on your the central nervous system to help heal and
actually normalize it to reduce the feelings of
anxiety, depression and others strong symptoms while
you grow.
Also
Know: We are very aware of, and you should also
realize,
that there are some practices and
therapies which are not of God...
Christian Counseling Actually
Can Include:
*
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is an experiential,
in-depth form of treatment that explores the ways in
which past experiences and emotional expectations
developed in childhood have contributed to current
difficulties in functioning. This form of treatment
examines the complexities of interpersonal
relationships, including the developing relationship
with the therapist. Rational-Emotive,
Behavioral Therapies,
Medication, Relaxation and Breathing Techniques,
Pleasant Mental Imagery and Cognitive Restructuring,
Systematic Gradual Desensitization and Yes, Types of
Regular Exercise.
All
these are Possibles, BUT:
Understand, We have Researched
and Found that some of
these "New Methods" are
actually taken from Our Holy Bible and
We Use
Them Accordingly, and Always in the Presence of
Our Father God, Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit.
After All , God does say:
'There is nothing new under the sun!'
Basically We first need to Talk, Discuss and Get to
Know and Understand the What You Need or How You're
Suffering from and then We Can Begin a Program of
Relief.
If you can relate to, or feel comfortable with, some of the
feelings, thoughts and treatment options listed
above, and you'd like to make some changes and get
relief, You can contact me through our
