Counseling
Emotions, conflict, habits, trauma, and stress affect daily living and the ability to achieve goals. Working with a Christ-centered, professional counselor/social worker, individuals, couples, and families can explore new strategies and ways of thinking that empower and facilitate greater health. Using strengths-based, personalized approaches leads to more consistent and lasting outcomes.
Consulting
Counseling
Counseling
For effective and ongoing growth, healthy organizations reflect and utilize a process of focused listening to achieve ongoing development. Through consulting, we work with the organizational leaders to identify system dynamics and bring awareness to ingrained patterns. Collaborative solutions are explored that can be implemented for missional results. Group trainings are also available.
Coaching
Counseling
Coaching
Individualized coaching engages leaders in a learning process that seeks to improve on existing approaches and styles. Assessments guide the process to reveal areas to focus skill enhancement. Starting with an understanding of systems along with personal awareness, coaching extends to refine techniques and implement new thought processes that widen potential and strategic impact.
Who We Are
Our Approach
Our professional experience enables us to offer effective personalized care. We work with individuals, couples, families, organizations, churches, and systems. In counseling, we treat a number of mental health disorders from a supportive, solution focused perspective. In coaching and consulting, we work towards transformation from a strengths based framework.
We provide collaborative work seeking unity, finding harmony in difference, using creativity to problem-solve, & valuing your faith.
Our Treatment Focus
Our focus is to journey alongside by providing resources, expertise, and strategies. These come from an integrated perspective relying on both clinical excellence and Christian theology. We achieve this by providing a safe space to hear your story and then customizing a treatment plan.
Our Story
Our story is one of faith and practice. There is a story about two religious leaders who disagreed about how to apply Scripture to daily life. When seeking help to resolve it the third leader spoke into the situation saying "elu v'elu" which means “these and also these are the words of the living God”. The methods were not in conflict as BOTH groups were being faithful to live out God's calling. It represents a shift from either/or to both/and, an affirmation that following God requires collaboration in faith and practice. Elu was started by Christian leaders, a social worker and a pastor, who have integrated their professional and theological perspectives to create a space for bringing things together, finding harmony in difference, and listening actively to God. Professional business practices, sound medical advice, faithful theological understanding, disciplined spiritual practices, and depth of personal experience are the foundation of our collaborative work at Elu.
Statement of Faith
Elu subscribes to both the statement of faith of CAPS and NACSW (https://www.caps.net/ethics-statement/ & https://www.nacsw.org/about-nacsw/mission). These faith statements shape administrative as well as clinical decisions at Elu. All staff commit to support and uphold these principals and beliefs throughout their work and employment at Elu.
