Catholic Marriage, Premarital, and
Individual Counseling -
Healing Emotionally and Growing Spiritually
We
all come across obstacles in our lives too high to hurdle on our own.
It’s very important when you are facing difficulties in your life
to speak with someone who understands, who can help you achieve peace
of mind. Reaching out and asking for help is never easy as it can put
you in a vulnerable state, but the benefits can be so rewarding if help
is sought through some one who understands and supports your faith. Maybe
right now you're not even sure that life is "bad enough" to
reach out for help. Well, on this side of the Pearly Gates, life is difficult
enough without needlessly living with extra burdens.
Hi, I’m John R. Perry, LMFT and I want to help you overcome those difficult
obstacles in your life with the assistance of our Lord Jesus Christ. I specialize
in Catholic individual counseling, marriage counseling, and family counseling
in Anaheim, CA. From a young age I felt as if God has had a special purpose for
me: to help others through their difficult moments in life.
You may be looking for help because you feel sad, or you're worried, or have
a low self-image, or maybe you're having problems with parenting, (or with your
parents), or your spouse, fiancé, or some other relationship or need.
Whatever your burden may be; let me help you find hope and healing supported
by faith.
It's
a natural, God-given instinct to want to get rid of, or work through your
pain. And when it's painful, life can sometimes feel more like a burden
than a gift. Sometimes that can lead you to feeling very alone.
Please know that you don't have to carry your burdens alone. The
Lord, our God,
is always with you, nearer than it may feel. He also gave us one another
to share not just our joys, but our burdens as well.
When you’re looking for professional help, you want a therapist you can
trust.
If you’re a committed Christian, you’ll appreciate having a Christian
therapist who can not just help you feel better, but one that understands
and supports your love of Jesus Christ and the Holy Scriptures as well.
And if you’re a Catholic Christian, you’ll also appreciate having a
Catholic therapist who shares your faith and your love of the Sacraments
that Christ gives to us. You want a professional therapist who
won’t threaten or undermine your faith - one who won’t demean or look down
on your cherished beliefs. You want a therapist who’ll uplift you, one who
seeks to take good care of you – mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Good “soul care.” Why not take the option of enhancing your treatment with
a Catholic Christian approach – as much or as little as you’re comfortable
with.
I firmly believe that the more that God, our Creator, is brought into
your life, the 
better
off you'll be, and that's especially true when you're in pain and
struggling with life. The Great Physician knows you and can help
you more than any mere human can. But, to paraphrase St. Teresa,
"Christ has no body now on earth but ours" and it is often through one
another that He ministers to us. And likewise I seek to be His healing
hands to those who seek my help.
I opened my own practice so that I could provide
authentically Catholic counseling for my brothers and sisters in
Christ. A perspective that not only "tolerates" or "accepts" your
faith, but truly values and embraces it! I'm a therapist today because God
gave me the gifts that I have so that I can help His children become more
of who He intended them to be -- whole and holy!
So call me at 714-533-7749, and put my clinical training, my
skills, and our faith in Christ to work toward helping you, and become
more of the person that God wants you to be.
Id be honored if you chose me to help you.
May our Lord richly bless you and those you love!
Pro-Life. Pro-Marriage. Pro-Family. Professional.
