Optimization & Integration
We strive for excellence in all that we do.
Our approach to treatment is from a Christian perspective. We view the science behind therapeutic treatment as the understanding and discovery of how God designed the human mind and body to heal and thrive. We only utilize treatments that have shown to be effective in research, and we select treatments that are compatible with God’s word.
Further, we believe that there is too much distance between various healthcare professions. Therefore, we plan to optimize coordination and integration between mental health and physical health by bridging the gap between professions. This is accomplished through the collaboration between our primary care providers and the counseling team.
The 3 Primary Areas of
Wellness We Address
Physical Health
Physical Health is defined, reviewed, and analyzed by looking at five main components: physical activity and exercise, nutrition and diet, substance use (including caffeine and alcohol, medical self-care, and rest or sleep.
Mental & Emotional Health
“Mental health is defined as a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community” -World Health Organization
Spiritual Health
An abstract but extremely important portion of who we are as humans is comprised in our spiritual health where we seek to find purpose in this life. Faith and practices of faith can yield large impacts on physical and mental health.
Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.
– C.S. Lewis

8 Values We Seek to Live Out In Everything We Do
MINDFUL
Keeping the WHO and WHY above the WHAT and HOW.
Psalm 86:12 I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever.
Matthew 6:33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Mark 12:30-31 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.
IMAGINATIVE
Joyfully collaborating, exploring, and discovering ideas with others as image bearers of the Creator.
Genesis 1:27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
Exodus 35:31-32 and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze.
1 Chronicles 22:15-16 You have many workers: stonecutters, masons and carpenters, as well as those skilled in every kind of work in gold and silver, bronze and iron—craftsmen beyond number. Now begin the work, and the Lord be with you.
NOBLE
Possessing a high level of integrity in all areas of life and allowing others to hold us accountable.
Romans 5:3-5 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Colossians 3:12-15 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
DETERMINED
Setting out to achieve our God-given mission regardless of the obstacles.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
Phillipians 4:13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
BRAVE
Moving forward despite fear, doubt, or insecurity.
Deuteronomy 31:6-7 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the Lord swore to their ancestors to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance.
Joshua 1:6-9 Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
1 Chronicles 28:20 David also said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the Lord is finished.
OPTIMISTIC
Hoping and trusting our Sovereign God to work out all things for our good.
1 Chronicles 19:13 Be strong, and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The Lord will do what is good in his sight.
Pslam 3:2-6 Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.” But you, Lord, are a shield around me,my glory, the One who lifts my head high. I call out to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.
Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
DEPENDABLE
Caring enough to be on time, fully present, and focused on the well-being of the client/patient during each interaction.
1 Corinthians 4:2 Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.
Luke 16:10 Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.
1 John 2:5-6 But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
YIELDING
Being ready to exchange our plans for God’s and also having the humility to heed His wisdom.
Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
Ecclesiastes 2:26 To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
