Do you agree that counseling is not fully Christian if a counselor’s faith shapes their posture but not their methods?
No
Why?
According to state licensure policies and ethical procedures, counselors cannot ethically integrate their personal religious beliefs or practices onto the client. If the client wishes to integrate faith and Christian practice into their treatment plan, then a counselor can integrate those pieces into his/her methodology. It must be requested by the client in order for ethical guidelines to be followed.
Do you agree that the deepest personal help a person needs cannot be fully received apart from faith in Christ, even through counseling?
Yes
Do you agree that Scripture speaks authoritatively to the deepest roots of human problems?
Yes
Do you agree that it is not appropriate to support or affirm a client’s chosen course of action when it conflicts with Scripture, even in the name of autonomy?
No
Why?
Again, according to licensing and ethical standards, counselors are there to help clients process through their challenges, not to force them into particular actions. A counselor cannot interject their personal moral code onto a client. We are here to help the client be the healthiest he/she can be but client's don't always make healthy choices. Counselors are there to affirm or disapprove but to help the client process whether or not it's healthy or unhealthy for themselves and others around them. The only time a counselor can do so, and break confidentiality, is if the client is a danger to themselves or others.
Do you agree that people do not possess all the internal resources needed for truth and healing apart from God, regardless of insight, support, or time?
Yes
