Parenting Classes -- Equipping Parents to Prepare their Children for
the Future |
Our parenting classes teach parents how to train their children, as well
as how to cope with and overcome problems in raising children.
Individual problems are addressed the last half-hour of each session in
a small group setting. Classes are an hour and a half long and meet once
a week for ten weeks.
The classes are on-going and repeat after the 10 week sessions have been
completed.
Classes meet at Trinity Counseling Center at 10901 Mac Arthur Blvd.,
Suite 201, in Oakland on Tuesday evenings beginning March 16, 2004, from
7:00 to 8:30 p.m.
Cost $5.00 per family, which includes the cost for any child ages 6 - 12
years who wishes to enroll in the Confident Kids program.
We offer financial assistance for those who cannot afford this expense.
The Confident Kids Program is for children of participating parents or
guardians of the parenting classes (see Confident Kids Program page.)

Our Approach to Counseling |
Jesus loves us and wants us to live victorious lives that are free of
guilt, anger, shame, hatred or fear. He's waiting for us to turn to Him
and in 2 Chronicles 7:14 He says, "...if my people, who are called by My
name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from
their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their
sin and will heal their land." We at Trinity Counseling Center believe
that Jesus will mend the hearts and lives of everyone who sincerely and
honestly seeks Him. God has no favorites, and wants to see all of us
healed.
Our approach to counseling is a standard psychotherapeutic approach plus
prayer beginning and ending each counseling session. As the client
desires, the counselor may refer to scripture and attempt to lead the
client into a closer relationship with Jesus. We respect that each
individual is in a unique position with God, therefore we start from the
position of the client and assist in enhancing his/her understanding of
God.
As with all psychotherapy the desire is to promote emotional and
spiritual healing in people suffering from overwhelming fears,
uncontrollable anxiety, depression, troubled relationships, acute
distress, dissociative disorders, psychosis, identity formation, and
many other problems.
There are occasions when clients desire extreme spiritual approaches
which we are equipped to handle. Please call for further information.
