Insurance and Managed Care

Christians seeking professional counseling or psychological services may have benefits under their health plan that may cover a portion of professional counseling/psychological services.  We completely understand the necessity for some to use their benefits; however we have chosen not to pursue contracts with MCO’s for a number of reasons.  For example:  secular diagnostic and treatment protocols do not include sin, redemption, or anything Christian.    The major personality theorists and secular psychologies vary in their view on the nature of humankind.   Secular and humanistic theories conflict with the nature of man according to the Bible.  Therefore, a Christian counselor is going to view problems, their cure and causation, from a different perspective.  At CCS we view outward problems as the manifestation of a “heart” issue.  A biblical approach to healing is from the “inside out,” not from the “outside in.”   We do not believe deeper issues of the heart can be addressed nor healed using secular or worldly protocols for symptom reduction.  When the prophet Jeremiah spoke for God, he addressed superficial “cures,” They have healed the brokenness of My people superficially, Saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ But there is no peace (Jeremiah 6:14 NASB). Healing is a difficult process that requires truth, trust, authenticity, and most importantly, the power of the gospel of Christ within the context of the professional relationship.
