Religious counseling is an important field and one that works on the same principles as general counseling but integrates religion into it. When a Christian counselor works on the mind of his patient/client, the key objective is to align them to the teachings in the scripture without intimidating the client. In other words, it is the job of the counselor to learn as much as he/she can about the behavior, values and attitude including mindset of the client by providing a trustworthy and comfortable environment.

This is where conflict arises and a person has to learn to reconcile religious beliefs with his own views. That's where a counselor comes in and acts as the bridge between the two conflicting thoughts.

life of a teenager is full of vibrancy and youth. Young people have heightened senses compared to adults because they have not been dulled from years of use and misuse. To a child, fruit is sweeter and potato chips are saltier because the taste buds have not been worn away and damaged from burns, and the child has not mentally become accustomed to the taste and started to take
