Healing and Grace
Through Christian Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselors from a Christian Counseling worldview, Dr. John and Janet Raymond, LPC – working with marriages, families, men, and women in Front Royal, Winchester Virginia and for North Carolina – Telehealth with John. We provide an approach to overcoming emotional and relationship challenges through the love and power of the Holy Spirit.
The Battle To Find Peace
We live in a fallen world and we ourselves have fallen short. But God loves us and has made provision for our shortcomings and growth. We work with individuals, marriages, and families to assist in healing and grace, addressing bondage, and the search for dignity, meaning, and purpose.
Please note – As with any counseling service, we cannot guaranty results.
If you see anything on our site that may insinuate any claim for guarantied results, please bring it to our attention. Thank you.
