Lake Family Counseling offers a wide range of services. Below are some examples of what is provided. We truly desire to help you in your specific need, so even if you do not see your particular concern contact us. We would love to help point you in the right direction.
Pastor Andy can help you prepare for your big day. Premarital counsel is not just a suggestion, it is a must. Once you have found that person you believe God would have you spend your life with, and you are ready to step into one of the most important segments of life, you want to do so with as much knowledge and information as you possibly can. In premarital counseling, you will learn more about yourself, your spouse, and God’s intended design for marriage.
Marriage is extremely important, and God expects us to take it seriously. Knowing that stress in marriage WILL come, it is vital for you to prepare. Here you will learn skills such as communication, boundary establishment, and setting realistic expectations.
In essence, premarital counseling helps you and your future spouse develop tools to handle the obstacles which prevent building a stronger relationship.
Statistically, couples who receive marriage counseling report greater marital satisfaction than the 70-80% who did not. So if you have found yourself hopeless, and desperate in a marriage you feel you are stuck in, rest assured marriage counseling is worth the effort.
When two sinners get married, conflict will occur. Every married couple disagrees at times, and how they handle those times will determine the temperature of their relationship. If they address the problems in a God-honoring manner, it will lead to a deeper and stronger connection where intimacy and love will grow. If they ignore these issues and do not confront them, a cycle of anger, resentment, and bitterness will ensue.
Every woman desires to be loved, and every man yearns for respect. So often in marriage the misfire is when one is misunderstands the other’s communication. When this happens, nothing we say will be right.
The goal of marriage counseling is to help struggling marriages become strong, and to make strong marriages better. Let Lake Family Counseling help you strengthen and divorce proof your marriage.
*Couples not married, but experiencing difficulties can benefit from this form of counseling. Lake Family Counseling addresses this as well.
Let’s be honest, life can be tough. We understand that there is a myriad of issues facing us today, and how to navigate these struggles can be difficult. Whether it be grief over a loss, a medical diagnosis, or emotional distress, Lake Family Counseling can help.
So often we sit around thinking “nobody can help”. But have hope, there is light at the end of the tunnel. If you do not see your exact need listed, do not hesitate to call anyway. If LFC cannot help, we will help you find someone who can.
Sometimes all that is needed is an impartial observer to assist in mediation. As a family, we get comfortable with each other, but we also learn each other. No one knows our buttons better than family.
Unfortunately family is often riddled with trauma and animosity. Simple misunderstandings can escalate into complete war. Whether it is a rebellious child, sibling rivalry, or navigating difficult circumstances Lake Family Counseling can help.
Truly Christ-Centered families are the happiest families. The difficulty sometimes is in our focus. Developing a desire to honor and glorify our Lord will bring about a positive impact in all areas of our family, including conflict resolution, loving one another, submission, and gratitude. If Christ is the foundations, these biblical attitudes will follow, and prevent unhappiness and dysfunction from taking over your family.
Maybe you haven’t considered counseling because you associate it with more serious problems. However, counseling can be of benefit for exploring your identity, strengths, and potential as well. We are all made in the image of God, but what about personally? How are you made in His image?
Exploring areas of personal development helps you grow and change so you can live more intentionally. Take the opportunity to discover your personal make up today.

Appreciative of the time Pastor Andy spent with my daughter. She has been going through a lot of mental health issues as well as needed direction in Christ. He listened to her without judgment and used scripture as well as good counseling principals to guide her through her struggles. He made her feel comfortable to express her whole heart and concerns, something she has not been able to do with other counselors. He helped her without making her feel less then. I'm very grateful.
Pastor Andy Lake is a very awesome pastor and counselor, very knowledgeable in the Word and Biblical instruction. He has helped me out immensely and I am very thankful. I would recommend him to absolutely everyone that would ask for a good counselor. He is very effective and of great help. People should know that through Pastor Andy and his obedience to the Word of God, he has helped very many lives in personal problems and issues of the heart. I'm forever thankful for Pastor Andy
