My Christian Faith and My Professional Practice
True Christian counselors and therapists are not only counselors who are themselves Christians, but professionals who, because of their calling, are thoroughly educated and committed to Christ and the Bible as well as counseling and psychology, much like a psychiatrist is a physician who is trained in both medicine and psychology.
Dr. Sprunger is the creator of "Emancipation Therapy" theoretical approach to Christian/Biblical Counseling. Ask him for more information.
Dr. Art came to trust Jesus Christ as his own personal Savior when he was a child. God called him to give his life to serve Him and others a couple years later. He was called and ordained to the Christian pastoral ministry in his early 20's. He has pastored and helped launch a number of independent Grace Brethren/Charis Fellowship churches in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio and Delaware, and was involved in starting other churches in Arizona and California. He has been heavily involved in leadership of what has become known as the Christian Counseling movement. He has extensive education in Bible, Pastoral Ministry, Elementary Education, Biblical Greek and Counseling Psychology. He has earned Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Counseling Psychology and has been honored with a Doctor of Divinity and Doctor of Humane Letters degrees. He was elected as the President of the Counseling Association of Greater Philadelphia and served on the State Board of the Pennsylvania Counseling Association. He served for over a decade as the Executive Director of the United Association of Christian Counselors, International. He also served as the Pennsylvania State Director of Child Evangelism Fellowship.
Costs:
All consultation, life-coaching and counseling are the self-funded responsibility of the client to protect confidentiality of client's information. Professional confidentiality and trust is of utmost importance.
The professional support is solely provided through the gifts and contributions received. It is a faith ministry that believes God will provide both the ministry and those investing in the ministry offerings. Because of this focus, we decided many years ago to no longer accept insurance payments nor government agency support, We are here to provide clear and exceptional help even if the fees requested by other agencies are not feasible. We are here to help everyone we can.
The typical customary fees among most agencies to see a PhD or PsyD with extensive experience for an hour consult is $250-300
The customary fee to see a masters level clinician with many years of experience is $200 for a 55 minute consult
The customary fee to see a masters level clinician with limited experience is $160 for a 55 minute consult
The customary fee to see a masters level student intern is $100
However, we are here to help in every way we can, including offering exceptional services at affordable investment, as a Christian support service.
Each is encouraged to determine what they are able to contribute. If you are able to do more than the standard amount requested, that is great because it helps us provide support toward those who are not in a financial position to invest the full amount. This is a commitment between you and God to provide what you can toward this important personal support in your life at this time. Many commit to support the ministry of helping others beyond the time they are in need. The suggested guideline for a contribution is to multiply your annual income by 0.002, or by .095 your weekly income. Pray about it and let us know what you are able to contribute.
If there are more than one weekly consultation sessions or another person(s) in a family is seeking consultation, the contribution is half the amount of the family income, or half of the financial income of the second person is requested for consideration. Please discuss for more options, including packages for monthly consults.
