LCPC High School Ministry – Counseling Program

Janelle Froehlich

We are incredibly excited about a BRAND NEW program we are offering in partnership with our Lay Counseling ministry here at LCPC.  Janelle Froehlich, who you can learn a bit about below, is our “Resident Counselor” and she’s excited to work with anyone interested; students, families, and volunteers.  Best of all, our Counseling Program is FREE for you, everytime!  As Chuck Osburn says, “Counseling is like taking a class…on yourself!”  If you know someone or feel you could benefit from counseling, please read below and we are sure this will be an amazing experience!

How Do I Begin Counseling?

• Step 1 – Email Janelle (lcpcyouthcounseling@gmail.com) and request to be contacted regarding counseling.  You can also email her with your questions.
• Step 2 – Janelle will walk you through a brief “in-take” (information) sheet and a counseling session will be scheduled.
  NOTE: This counseling is completely 100% FREE, so there will not be any questions related to cost!
• Step 3 – If you are a minor, your parents will need to sign a waiver allowing Janelle and you to meet for counseling.  That form can be downloaded HERE.

What is Counseling?

• A safe place for families and adolescence to talk.
• A trustworthy place to process the pain, challenges, stressors, and transitions in life.
• A place to share our experiences with another person, and when we do so, our daily struggle often loses their power over our lives.
• A place where isolation is broken, and the healing can begin.
• A time for the therapist to join with the family to stop destructive cycles and patterns, but also empower individuals to discover relationships grounded in love and trustworthiness.

What Does an Average “Counseling Session” Look Like?

• An average counseling session lasts 50 minutes, and may be individual, couples, or family counseling.
• During the session, individuals and families establish goals and continue to process these goals through crisis management, talk therapy, role-playing, and identification of family history, dynamics, and patterns.
• On average, individuals and families attend 10 sessions.

Janelle’s Thoughts: Counseling and the Adolescent

“Pill parties. Cyber bullying. Alcohol and drug use. Trouble in school. Pressure to succeed. Sleep deprivation. Loneliness. Isolation. Depression. Anxiety. Anger. Poor self-esteem. Cliques. Exclusion. Peer pressure. Sexual experimentation.

Adolescent culture transforms daily.  Adolescents, parents, and teachers struggle to keep up.  Teenagers aren’t old enough to watch the reality of their lives on television.  One often hears, ‘I wish there were more positive shows on television for teens.’ The truth is that teenagers are living adult-content lives and we need to comment on their adult reality in a way that brings healing, not further destruction.

The pain and struggle of one family member impacts the entire family.  It may feel stressful, overwhelming and out-of-control.  The therapist connects with the adolescent and family, so the adolescent can then re-connect with his or her family.”
