After an initial Christian marriage counseling session at my Austin location, we will pinpoint what each individual is doing -- or not doing -- that is causing harm to the relationship. We'll then create a plan to facilitate the hard work of addressing unresolved issues. I look for recurring behavior patterns that have caused past wounds or continue to cause conflict.
In my experience, once we uncover these issues we can begin the healing process. This leads to greater intimacy, trust, and respect between partners. I also provide counseling to families, teens, and individuals. When you're going through a difficult time in your life, advice from a professional Christian counselor can help.

My name is Joseph Bordelon. My passion is helping Christians in the Austin area work through the daily struggles of life, whether it's their marriage, relationship issues, or other personal problems. I have a Master of Arts in Counseling and a Master of Divinity that allow me to tackle issues with a Christian approach.
Christian Counseling Austin offers a wide variety of Christian counseling services and couples counseling services in Austin. Below, we discuss some of our most popular services. We offer marriage and couples counseling in Austin to couples who are looking to improve their relationship. Marriage counseling is a very effective means of rebuilding trust, deepening a relationship, or navigating unforeseen circumstances.
Like most things in life, marriage has its ups and downs. No matter how long you've been together, be it two years or two decades, your relationship is likely to experience rocky terrain at some point. Marriages can be challenged by a variety of factors, such as financial difficulties, lack of intimacy, illness, an unbalanced relationship, or unspoken resentment.
If you've recently gotten divorced, it can seem like your entire life has changed in a short amount of time. You're starting from the ground up again, and you may want a helping hand to guide you through the steps of divorce. If you have children, then divorce can be especially difficult and taxing for your entire family.
Many relationships begin with high hopes. However, when there are bumps in the road, you may find yourself confused, angry, disappointed, and unable to react effectively. This may lead to resentment on both ends of the relationship. If this situation sounds familiar to you or resonates with your experience, then you're not alone.

Dr. Bordelon counseled me at a particularly anguished point in my life, and I found that I consistently left every session with new insight, perspective, and personal awareness. He is very skilled at identifying underlying issues, and asks the right questions in the right ways to get the patient to make realizations on his/her own. He is calm, personable, and made me feel comfortable opening up about my problems and insecurities. I would recommend him to anyone struggling to deal with a big life decision or change.

I can’t find the words to express how helpful Joe Bordelon was with both me individually and with my husband and I together. Before I found Joe I had prayed for help and answers to a situation that I was honestly unsure if our marriage would recover from. Through both individual and couples sessions, I have found my confidence and equilibrium again, and we have learned so much together about better communication, forgiveness, and trust. None of this would have been possible without Joe coaching us through this. He is skilled, caring, and professional. Most highly recommend.

Joseph is extremely skilled and personable. We went to him with a very unique situation and my husband who is very selective to who he opens up to really found an incredible amount of help and clarity from Joseph. Joseph is able to decipher emotions in a direct, clear and neutral method. Our marriage is stronger than ever before and we have forever grateful to Joseph for this outcome.

Joseph is a very understanding and compassionate counselor. My husband and I came to Christian Counseling Austin when we hit some obstacles in our communication. We needed a third party to help us break through a wall and grow closer and we did. Right at first, we felt comfortable and we liked that he offered a Christian viewpoint and values. We have figured out how to communicate better and are so thank ful for the help we received. We would definitely recommend Christian Counseling Austin.

I cannot begin to say how grateful I am that my significant other and I found Joe. We had a very complicated situation, and at times it felt almost hopeless, but Joe helped us realize how truly blessed we are to have each other. He has a very patient, calm way about him, and is so talented at seeing through the complexity of things and helping to understand what is truly at the heart of the matter. He also has a way of explaining our feelings in a way that helped my significant other and I have a much better understanding of each other, and he helped us learn how we could be a better partner to

I could not recommend Joseph highly enough to anyone considering counseling. I met with him following a recommendation from a family member, and our sessions together made a very emotionally painful experience bearable. Thanks to him, I gained insight (revelations, even) into the root causes of past and present psychological struggles. His compassion and empathy made me feel comfortable with him immediately, and I can honestly say that I don’t know where I would be if I had not worked with him.

I took my 15 year old son to see Joseph because he was having trouble in school and doing things that he should not be doing and lying about it. He didn’t want to talk to me but I wanted him to talk to someone that would give him non-judgmental, good advice, without fear of the consequences because of his actions. I also felt that there were some deep emotions from divorce that I wanted him to face. My son was very resistant (to say the least) on going to see a counselor. I made him go and he immediately felt comfortable with Joseph and from then on, it was a non-issue. My son is doing better

I thought my wife & I were over. As did she. After 2 other counselors didn't make it past 1 session with us, The Elders at our church recommended us to Joseph. Our schedule had limited our frequency, but after about 2.5 months, & only about 4 sessions, my wife & I are doing well !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joseph's unique approach, has helped us both work to save our marriage. If you both want to save your marriage, & are prepared to work, Joseph can help give you the tools to fix it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I very highly recommend him!

I have a 7th grader who was having a very difficult time being bullied by kids who had been his friends for several years. Our son was so miserable and everyday was such a challenge to just get him to school. I wanted him to talk with a counselor but only wanted a christian counselor and by God's grace, found Joseph Bordelon. He turned out to be the perfect choice who gave both of us so much great advice as well as many insightful observations. He even gave my son the confidence to completely separate himself from people who treat him unkindly, so he was finally able to make new friends. The counseling
