LIFE HAPPENS.

God said we would have struggles, but take heart because He has overcome the world. We live in an age where individuals generally feel incomplete. Research shows that nearly 16 million Americans suffer from depression or mental illness. We have all felt the impact of the storms of life, which is why we need an anchor. Problems will come, but God will be with us every step of the way. Since God, our Heavenly Father, has already overcome the world, we are overcomers too! Acceleration Gateway is a site dedicated to supporting individuals in their journey to live a wholesome, purposeful life through empowerment, inspiration, and sharing The Good News of Jesus Christ!​

What is the difference between life coaching sessions and Christian counseling?

Christian Counseling involves determining a compassionate resolution and healing for emotional trauma and pain carried from the past by applying faith-based or Kingdom principles. Conversely, life coaching focuses on the present and future, guiding individuals to pinpoint their goals, harness their strengths, and take proactive steps forward.

Are counseling sessions confidential?

Counseling sessions are confidential, which means that your information will not be shared with a third party without your consent. However, there are certain situations where we are required to break confidentiality and seek external help. These include instances of planned self-harm, planned harm towards others, and child abuse.

Do you prescribe medication?

No. We do not prescribe medication.

Which is better for me, counseling or coaching sessions?

The approach can vary. You may opt for counseling, coaching, or a combination of both. At times, when you feel completely lost, it's hard to identify what's holding you back. Counselors can guide you through this journey and assist you in dealing with or even overcoming, these barriers once they are identified. On the other hand, coaches are adept at problem-solving, focusing on helping you gain clarity on your life goals and how to establish and reach them. Those engaging in coaching sessions are generally driven by internal motivations, seeking guidance and direction on how to accomplish a specific goal or desired outcome.

Do you treat mental illnesses?

In Christian counseling, we focus on addressing situational causes and applying faith-based principles to guide you toward healing and restoration, rather than diagnosing or treating clinical issues.

Can you do lessons or motivational messages that are not faith-based? 

Lessons and motivational messages don't have to explicitly include scripture. They don't have to have a religious aspect. Even though Bible verses and terms like "God" or "Lord" may not be mentioned, the message will still be based on Kingdom principles. We won't deliver lessons or messages that aren't aligned with the Word of God.

Can I choose a topic or theme for my group's conference call lesson? 

Certainly! Yes, you can select a topic or theme for your group's conference call lesson. There is a dedicated space on the submission form where you can specify details about your audience, the theme you want, and the topic. Once you have filled out and submitted the form, the teacher will get in touch with you to discuss further the desired outcome of your conference call lesson.

Do you accept insurance?

No, we do not accept insurance as we are a private practice.  However, we offer aptly affordable session prices and payment plans.

What is the difference between a licensed therapist/counselor and a Christian counselor?

A licensed counselor must adhere to state and federal laws and ethics set by a state licensing board. They need a graduate-level degree from an accredited university, pass a graduate exam, and meet their state’s minimum requirements, including any oversight procedures. On the other hand, Christian Counselors don't need a graduate-level degree or state licensing. They help clients by incorporating Christian principles and tools into everyday life. Despite this, Acceleration Gateway's founder Shalan Landry holds a graduate-level degree in I-O Psychology and is nationally board-certified as a Christian counselor. She is well-prepared to assist clients during tough times, guide them through life's challenges, and provide them with Biblical principles and tools to help them claim the peace God has for them.
