Counseling Programs Philosophy & Goals
The Regent University School of Psychology & Counseling endeavors to provide leadership in integration of sound clinical procedure and Biblically based values in program development and health service provision with a focus on family, church and community. Our efforts stem from two central scriptures, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself," (Matthew 22:37-39); and "Love each other as I have loved you," (John 15:12). In our view, the methods and purposes of counseling are always to be held against these Biblical standards.
