SPARE Counseling Centers are unique, blending traditional psychotherapy expertise along with principles taught within the Christian faith to bring about healing for the individuals under our care. All counselors treating SPARE clients integrate their Christian faith with professional psychological training.
At SPARE our approach is client-directed, allowing the client to initiate Christ-centered counseling as a matter of choice. Although SPARE counselors are all Christians, our clients are not necessarily people of faith, and we seek to assist all clients with the same level of integrity and grace.
