NEW LoCatioN brings hope

SINCE 1991, Valley Christian Counseling Center has been providing a place for individuals to heal and reflect through counseling services. With a strong belief and conviction in God's Word, the licensed, professional counselors at Valley Christian Counseling believe His word helps in their role to provide support and comfort to those in need.

Over the years, Valley Christian Counseling Center has grown from renting two offices to renovating a twenty-two-office building as well as opening locations in Jamestown, Hawley, and Fergus Falls. The new location in Fargo-Moorhead allows them to serve the local community with a wide range of services. This includes a children's wing — the Dr. David Todd Center for Children's Therapy, to better help our communities' families, kids and teens.

"We are excited about our new location in Fargo-Moorhead. The mission for Valley Christian Counseling has always been on how we serve our clients and community," says Kris Fraser, developmental coordinator for Valley Christian Counseling Center.

"From our play area in the children's wing to the group therapy room to individual counseling rooms, we are here to provide the best level of service possible," says Dan Borsheim, CEO.

Working hard to create a welcoming and comfortable environment, the children's counselors at Valley Christian Counseling work together with parents and children to collaborate while addressing specific and on-going issues.

"Being a kid, and more specifically, a teen, can be a difficult time for both parents and their children. We are here to break down the barriers and walls while listening without judgment. Our counselors ask questions to help organize thoughts in a way that makes life more manageable. They provide tools that can be used to overcome whatever you may be facing," says Fraser.

There are several reasons why families and children come to counseling, including parent-child conflict, attachment disorders, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, life stressors, trauma and ADHD.

"The journey to a happier and more fulfilled self can be a tough one. That is why we are here to walk alongside all of our clients. We all go through difficult seasons in life, and no one should have to do that alone," adds Borsheim.

Valley Christian Counseling Center offers a variety of services. These services include individual counseling, premarital counseling, marriage counseling, spiritual direction, men's counseling and Christian consulting services.

"Our counselors have dedicated their lives to helping others that are facing deep struggles,” says Borsheim. “From PTSD to loss and relationships, they are equipped to guide you through life's challenges and valleys. They are here to help invite Jesus into brokenness."

Valley Christian Counseling Center encourages anyone and everyone to consider counseling services for help with even the smallest of difficult situations. Their mission, above anything else, is to care for every client's emotional and spiritual well-being.
