Christian Counseling for Children
Helping Young People Grow in Christ

The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him. – Proverbs 23-24

Raising righteous, Christ-filled children and teens can be a challenge. You have the world up against you – one that is often against the things of God. Couple that with our own human nature and struggles, and it might feel that your hands are tied. There is good news and hope for your young ones in Christ. Through Him, we are shown what it means to be Christ-filled caretakers and how to deal with problems that our children face. Even so, there are many times when we need a little extra help from fellow brothers and sisters. At Seattle Christian Counseling, we offer you tools for faith-based guidance and healing, meant to strengthen you and your children as you grow in your walk with Christ Jesus.
