We know going to see a counselor for help can be an intimidating experience. We want our clients to feel welcome and safe, so we named our service "The Kitchen Table". We believe some of the best counseling happens around the kitchen table in the homes of healthy families. It is there that good conversation about the issues and struggles people face get resolved. We strive to make our clients feel comfortable and at home as we work together to find solutions to their problems. We are here to help people find joy, be at peace, and live the way God intended. “Pull up a chair” and browse our website to find out more about The Kitchen Table Counseling and Life Coaching services of Lafayette and Lake Charles Louisiana.
Counseling & Life Coaching
Growth Challenge
Regardless of where you are in life, our Growth Challenge program is by far the most impactful program The Kitchen Table has to offer. This 3-stage program is designed to get you to DISCOVER your true God-given identity, DECLARE that identity and anchor it deep in your heart of hearts, and then ACT out of that identity through purposeful intentions in your every day life.
Life Coaching School
The Kitchen Table is now offering a Certification in Christian Life Coaching for people interested in becoming a Professional Life Coach or a Ministry (Layperson) Life Coach. Our goal is to equip coaches with advanced skills to facilitate healing and growth while positioning people to overcome life issues and pursue meaningful life goals.
