How are coaching and counseling different?

January 12, 2021January 9, 2021

I'm guessing that you've heard of a counselor. Have you heard of a "life coach"?

There are certainly overlaps between counseling and coaching, but there are some important differences. What's similar? … Continue reading How are coaching and counseling different?

Handling traumatic memories

April 1, 2020February 18, 2020

I really enjoy the feeling of nostalgia. It has a sweet sadness to it, bringing up wonderful memories from the past that I would love to revisit if I could.  But when a sight, a smell, or a situation suddenly transports us back to a difficult or traumatic time in our past, the feeling is … Continue reading Handling traumatic memories

Why I talk out loud to myself

February 5, 2020December 6, 2019

It’s the classic symptom of “craziness.” We’ve all stood in line behind the guy muttering to himself for 10 minutes. We cross the street to avoid the lady having a conversation with no one nearby.  Am I one of these crazy people? I don't think so - but I do talk out loud to myself.  … Continue reading Why I talk out loud to myself

January 29, 2020March 8, 2020

iHope is a distinctly Christian counseling center. We say this often, and it’s even printed on our business cards. But what does it even mean?

Are you ready for college?

April 4, 2019March 27, 2019

Each spring that iHope has been opened, we’ve had several high school seniors seek our Care & Counseling services to address anxiety, fear, and stress related to their transition to college.  This is totally normal! The transition from high school to college is a big life change. Just like moving to a new state, getting … Continue reading Are you ready for college?

Protecting children from abuse

March 19, 2019March 13, 2019

Is there any title that would be more easily agreed upon? We are all called to protect children from abuse. Of course, we are each called to protect all peoplefrom abuse – women, men, children, adults. But children are in a uniquely vulnerable position. They rely upon adults to care for them, and their knowledge and awareness … Continue reading Protecting children from abuse

Scheduling your worry time

March 13, 2019March 9, 2019

It sounds so… counterproductive.  Schedule your worry time? How on earth would this help with excessive anxiety? It does sound counterproductive, but this is actually a common counseling intervention for folks who are struggling with obsessive thoughts, anxiety, and worry.  Here’s how it works: Prep work: Schedule a specific time to worry on a regular basis. Set … Continue reading Scheduling your worry time

Did you know most people feel good about counseling?

February 4, 2019January 28, 2019

I’m a big believer that everyone could benefit from counseling at some point in their lives. Probably, at multiple points in their lives!  Why do I believe this? Because I know how hard life is - and I know that at some point, we all experience hardship.  We live in a broken world. Sin hurts us, … Continue reading Did you know most people feel good about counseling?
