Theophostic Counseling

A person's emotional pain is a consequence of their believing lies (misinterpretations) rooted in memory state.  The key to Theophostic's effectiveness is its ability to quickly identify the original lie and the client being led to a place where they are able to fully appropriate the freeing truth their wounded mind needs.  This is a biblical approach that accelerates healing as truth replaces lies, freeing clients from life long emotional/psychological pain.
