CURRENT AND COMING GROUPS
At any given point during the year, Covenant Counseling has several groups that are active and currently meeting. At the same time, others are likely in the process of forming. Though specifics vary, most groups meet every-other week, for eight to twelve sessions. With a few exceptions, most groups are closed, meaning that participants are asked to commit to the entire series of sessions and new members do not join once the group has started.
Days and meetings times vary among the different groups. Please call our office (205-879-7500) for details and information.
Groups that are being formed or that are currently meeting include:
* Compulsive Ladies (CLG)
This group is for females who struggle with compulsive sexual behaviors, and who have already progressed beyond the initial phases of the recovery process.
* Couples in Pain (CIP)
This group is for couples in which one spouse is recovering from sexual addiction and the couple has moved beyond the initial phases in the recovery process.
* Sexual Abuse Survivors (SAS)
This group is designed to assist female victims of sexual abuse in their recovery journey.
* Codependency (COD)
This group is for females who struggle with codependency-type responses in relationships.
* Partners in Pain (PIP)
This group is for spouses of sex addicts. Its focus is on the traumatic experiences, self-care, and healthy responses to their relationship situation.
* Anger Management (AMG)
This group will be scheduled on demand, and can even be done as an individual “seminar”. It does use a curriculum, and will meet court-mandated requirements.
All sessions will be open for new members between the end of the current series and the start of the new series. However, interested persons may contact the office at any time to be placed on the waiting list.

Learn MoreA first session typically begins by meeting the counselor and going over a few aspects related to confidentiality. The counselor will want to know what brings you to the office and may try to gain a better sense of your context. Depending on the situation, you may begin to develop initial hopes or goals for your time together, to provide greater clarity on the focus of your counseling. Hopefully, you will be helped – even in your first session.
Our counselors work to provide a supportive and caring environment. Issues or dynamics can then be explored and addressed towards facilitating the needed or desired change.
