Are All of the Counselors at Wyndhurst Lynchburg Christian Counseling Center Christians?
Great question, and the answer is “no.” One of the counselors is not a believer. He is very experienced, he is skilled, and has conservative values. After a thorough interview and due to having been able to observe him in the community as a clinician for many years, he was allowed to be part of the staff of Wyndhurst Lynchburg Christian Counseling Center. If receiving Lynchburg Christian Counseling is important to you, you can make sure to make this request and Lynchburg Christian Counseling will be afforded to you. On the other hand, if making sure that you have a counselor is not of the Christian faith, please make sure to let us know and we will gladly schedule you with this counselor. Lynchburg Christian Counseling provides for your needs.

Do You Eventually Share Your Faith With the People Who Come to You at Wyndhurst Lynchburg Christian Counseling?
The short answer is “no.” At Lynchburg Christian Counseling we believe that this is not our call. It is the call of the client. We are here to help. If the person coming desires to incorporate issues of faith into our clinical practice, we will meet them there and provide Lynchburg Christian Counseling. If that is not part of their value system and world view, then this aspect is not part of their counseling. There are some folks who would not think of leaving our office without prayer. There are others who want absolutely nothing to do with this world view. It is their call. We are not a ministry. We are a counseling center and a business providing Lynchburg Christian Counseling to those who desire it. While there are times when ministry takes place at Wyndhurst Lynchburg Christian Counseling Center, we remain a business and a counseling center.
*We in no way want to be deceptive. We do have one therapist who is not a Christian. He is skilled, experienced, and has conservative values but is not a believer. Thus so, if having a Christian Counselor is important to you, please make sure that you let the receptionist know when you call.
