Counseling aims to improve relationships, as our relationships with others and God are fundamental to our existence. Understanding the relationship needs of those seeking counseling is crucial for healing.

Our temperament, defined by our relationship needs, desires, mind, will, and emotions, is built into us by our Creator before birth. Numerous scientific experiments and parents confirm this. Humans are pre-designed with basic needs, wants, and desires. The “blank slate” concept is discredited. Scripture teaches God’s creation and our free will, which allows us to live by our decisions rather than our nature.

A Certified Temperament Counselor, is certified by the National Christian Counselors Association (NCCA) in Creation Therapy, a scientifically, spiritually, and biblically-based approach to behavior change. Temperament Analysis targets the source of problems by identifying temperament needs to help individuals find balance and relieve inner stress.

It helps us understand ourselves, get to know God, and better relate to others.

Just as a care label provides instructions for a plant, a Temperament Analysis provides insight into the individual “care instructions” or temperament needs for emotional and spiritual growth.

Our inborn temperament, placed within us in the womb, remains throughout our lives. How we express it can be influenced by our upbringing, social environment, education, training, and the work of the Holy Spirit.

Temperament determines our interactions with our environment and loved ones, as well as our perception of ourselves and them.
