Workshops & Groups

*~ Upcoming Groups ~*

Groups are a place for interactive discussion targeted on a specific topic regarding identity, relationships, and/or ministry.  (See below for detailed descriptions of each group.)  Groups do not take the place of counseling or therapy.  (For focused attention on issues related to healing from emotional pain or relationship concerns, please check out counseling services.  If you have questions about which service is right for you, feel free to contact me.)

Intimacy with God Group
Are you feeling like you don’t pray enough?  Do you feel guilty over your struggles with reading the Bible?  Do you sometimes hope that by serving more, it would solve the problem?
Maybe you’ve tried your best to get closer to God, and yet He still seems so distant.  If you take a closer look, you’ll find that this is not just spiritual issue; it can have psychological roots as well.  In this group, we examine core beliefs that impact the way we see discipleship and how we relate to God.  Join us to discover how to be free of the burdens and enjoy a deeper intimacy with God.

To get more information about this group, call Aileen Hong at Westminster Counseling Center (626) 798-0915 or email me at aileen@counselorforchristians.com.

Relating Well Group:  Building Healthy, God-Centered Relationships
All of us know that God has created us for relationships—to love and be loved.  Many of us have experienced the transforming power of loving relationships.  In contrast, we also find that a major source of stress for us lies in difficult relationships with others.  Getting help in relationships has become one of the greatest needs in our homes, ministries, and workplaces. In this group, we will focus on what healthy, God-centered relationships look like.  We will discuss biblical principles underlying a variety of interpersonal skills.
