      <image:title>Individual Counseling - Individual Counseling</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our counselors provide individual counseling for adults facing issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, sexual brokenness, identity issues, and more. During your first individual session, we will gather background information on your story and what brings you to counseling. Together, we will establish a plan for where to begin the next time we meet. We know that starting counseling is a big step, and we look forward to serving you. Our hope is that even by the end of your first individual session, you experience the hope of Jesus by someone listening carefully and attentively to your story and what God is up to in it.  Our individual counseling for adults takes place either in person at our offices in Marriottsville, MD or virtually through a secure portal called Simple Practice.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Some of our counselors provide counseling to children and adolescents under the age of 18 facing emotional and behavioral challenges. Our counseling for children and adolescents takes place either in person at our offices in Marriottsville, MD or virtually through a secure portal called Simple Practice. It is important to us that we involve parents or caregivers in the counseling process. The extent to which a parent is involved in the counseling process may vary depending on your counselor and the unique nature of what brings you to counseling. Please ask your counselor about his or her approach, or contact us with any questions.</image:caption>
