Hello. My name is Dr. Billy Ready.
I am a Clinical Christian Counselor and Life Coach.
My counseling involves support with genuine caring, deep commitment, and complete confidentiality. My hope is to guide you in reclaiming feelings of self-worth, restoring
relationships, and renewing thoughts, goals, and dreams
I hope that you will receive encouragement and help from Ready4Life Counseling and it is my sincere desire that you will return here often, as the need arises.
Christian counselors come in many varieties. In most states, anyone providing counseling has to be licensed or certified. Most licensed counselors have a masters degree or doctoral level training. Many Christian counselors have specific training in theology. This is especially true for pastoral counselors. However, it is not absolutely required to have formal theological training.
What sets Christian counselors apart, is that they use the bible as the authority and background to counseling. If you are seeing a Christian counselor, it should be obvious that he/she is using the truths of God's Word as a guide to helping you back to mental health.
Christian counselors should use the bible, or at least the scriptures, and he/she should offer to pray with you. If your counselor calls himself/herself a "Christian Counselor," and does not use God's holy Word or does not pray with you, then you need to question whether you are receiving "Christian," counseling.
