Got Questions? We've Got Answers.

What is the difference between Biblical counseling and other counseling?
Biblical counseling draws all its information from the Bible. While we may employ common counseling methods, the foundation is rooted in the Word of God. We begin with what the Bible says, and build from there. Often, people go to a counselor because of a surface problem such as anxiety or depression. There are behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and desires that all lead to those problems. Biblical counseling seeks to find the root issue, and address the foundational beliefs in order to address the surface affect. As King Solomon said, "as a man thinks in his heart, so is he."
How do I schedule and pay for a session?
  • You can schedule through our by clicking the button at the bottom, or over the phone. 
  • Payment can be made by cash,  check, or online by clicking the payment button below.
What should I bring?
Come prepared to take notes, and bring any information that might be necessary. If you are assigned homework, please make sure to bring it with you (completed) when you return for your next session.
Can we meet at another location?

Only under extreme circumstances will Pastor Andy meet somewhere else. This is for your safety and his. Best practice is to meet at the office, or online.

What is your cancellation policy?

Lake Family Counseling understands that life happens. If something comes up and you are unable to make your appointment, please try to contact us by phone or email as soon as you can. We will try to be as understanding as we can, and reschedule your session. Repeated cancelations can result in discontinued service and charges for unattended sessions. We value your time, please value ours.

What are your hours?

We try our best to accommodate your schedule. We understand that you are dealing with school, and work schedules yourself. For that reason we try to offer hours from 7am - 7pm Mon-Thurs. The early and late appointments do go fast, so we encourage signing up in advance.


Your mental health is important. Your marriage is important. It is worth taking time away from the busyness of your life to focus on these things. Do not be afraid to take a break from your work and school schedule to make this a priority. Schedule a midday appointment and take your wife to lunch afterward. It will be worth your time.

Do you take insurance?

This is probably our number one question. 

Insurance often prevents you from getting the full experience you ned in order to find lasting benefits. Also, your insurance may not protect your information in the same way self-pay does. For this reason, and others, we try our best to provide the lowest pricing possible and offer many options. We provide individual sessions as well as packages to meet your needs. Additionally, we are always willing to help out as much as we can if you truly cannot afford our services. Talk with us.

How long does a session last?

Sessions are scheduled in one hour increments. However, the typical session should last around 50 minutes. We try to respect your time as well as other clients, for that reason, we try to stick to an hour maximum unless previously discussed. With that being said, we also understand that there are times when longer sessions are necessary. We try our best to not be rigid of the time if progress is being made, so there are times we allow our sessions to extend longer.


However, some sessions are scheduled back to back and do not afford us the ability to do this often, so we do ask you to be aware of this. If we use a timer, it is not meant to cut you off, but to respect our other clients and schedules. Do not forget there is preparation involved in these sessions as well, so we need that time between sessions to record notes from your session and revisit notes before we meet our next client.

KIND WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS

THANKFUL MOTHER

Appreciative of the time Pastor Andy spent with my daughter. She has been going through a lot of mental health issues as well as needed direction in Christ. He listened to her without judgment and used scripture as well as good counseling principals to guide her through her struggles. He made her feel comfortable to express her whole heart and concerns, something she has not been able to do with other counselors. He helped her without making her feel less than. I'm very grateful.

TIM WILLETT

I would recommend him to absolutely everyone that would ask for a good counselor. He is very effective and of great help. People should know that through Pastor Andy and his obedience to the Word of God, he has helped very many lives in personal problems and issues of the heart. I'm forever thankful for Pastor Andy
