Better Help is an online app that connects you with a professional counselor . At Awaken 514 church we highly recommend the experience of seeking counseling at one point or another in your life. It can be healing, enriching and aid in the process of growing emotionally and spiritually.
We also encourage everyone to make sure they find the right counselor for them and believe that this begins first and foremost of the follower of Jesus with finding a counselor who holds to a Biblical Worldview and who will skillfully apply the Gospel throughout the counseling process. To find a counselor like this we recommend asking a few simple questions of any counselor that you're matched with prior to starting counseling.
Finding the right counselor can take some work, but it is always worth the effort. Better Help makes the process of matching you with a counselor very easy, and switching counselors even easier. If you're unsure if the counselor that you have been matched with is right for you, please feel empowered to reach out to the pastoral team at Awaken 514 Church and we will do our best to help you navigate the process so that you can get the help you're seeking.
Also note, while the cost of counseling with Better Help is often significantly reduced from traditional counseling services, we recognize that cost can often be a barrier for people starting counseling. Awaken 514 Church offers scholorships to assist with the cost of counsling for those who qualify.
