Counsel & Care
There are times in life when we need special counsel and care to help us as we walk through difficult and painful trials. At other times God is doing a work in our hearts which requires the help of someone who is gifted and trained in the area of Christian Counseling.
Kingsland offers individual and marriage counseling as well as various support groups and classes to help individuals, couples and families experience hope, healing and freedom in their lives. All of our counseling, support groups and classes are led by Christ-followers that love people and desire to help others through biblical counsel and support.
Susan Sowell MA, LPC-S, Director of Counsel & Care at Kingsland can be reached at 281.492.0785 or
ssowell@kingland.org if you would like help in determining if counseling, a support group or a class at Kingsland could benefit you, your marriage or your family.
