IBCD offers consistently biblical counseling in San Diego County.  Most of our counseling occurs in Escondido on Mondays, and we also offer some on Thursdays at our La Mesa office.  The primary goal of this ministry is to train pastors and lay people so that they can counsel in their own churches. Therefore, there will often be students observing counseling sessions. The counseling focuses on applying the principles of God's word to the problems of life.  It costs us $65 per hour for these counseling appointments, and we therefore ask that you make a donation to IBCD for that amount when you receive counseling.  If you are not able to afford that rate, we ask that you donate whatever you are able.

If you need counseling, we encourage you to ask your pastor or another church leader first. If they are not able to help you, you may call us at (760) 747-9252. When you call, we will take down some information about your needs and then seek to match you with the appropriate counselor.  We often have a waiting list, but we will contact you as soon as cancellations occur or timeslots become available.

 If you do not live in this area, you can go to the NANC website and look at their list of certified counselors to see if one is near you.
