Creation Therapy
Creation Therapy is a method of Biblical Counseling offered through course instruction to groups and individuals. It is a counseling method that focuses on enabling one better to understand oneself and the responsibility to establish a vertical relationship with God. It is based on Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created….” and Psalms 139:13-14, For you created my innermost being: you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made: your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
Creation Therapy is a new therapeutic approach to counseling that deals with the inner man rather than outer manifestations and problems. It is based on the belief that man is a unique being rather than the result of an evolutionary process. This method was developed over a period of seven years of research involving 5,000 individuals seeking help for their problems, Richard Gene Arno PH. D. Conclusions based on this research are that Creation Therapy is over 93% successful when administered by a trained and qualified counselor.

Creation Therapy is based on the theory of temperament. Temperament is the inborn part of man that determines how he reacts to people, places, and things. In short, it is how people interact with their environment and the world around them. It teaches that this temperament is placed within us by God, while in our mother’s womb, and it will remain with us throughout our lives. Each individual has temperament needs of varying degrees. Our temperament is the determining factor in how well we handle the stresses and pressures of life. Creation Therapy identifies the temperament needs of the counselee and helps them to find a balance in order to relieve inner stress. They will develop a willingness to surrender the ungodly ways they have been accustomed to using to meet temperament needs and replace them with methods in accordance with God’s Word. They will learn to find peace within themselves, within their environment, and with the Lord. We know that God is the only solution for all our problems. Creation Therapy is a viable tool that allows counselors to emphasize the importance of yielding to God’s will and to discover His purpose for our existence. It teaches how to draw nearer to God, how to submit to His will and allow the Holy Spirit to become our constant guide, and how to listen and recognize God’s voice. God’s Way Services invite you to discover this Biblical-based method of counseling and aid your counselees in discovering God’s will for their lives.
