Creation Therapy

"We are fearfully and wonderfully made by our God who created the heavens and the earth, and we are very special and unique.  Creation Therapy is the key that will give you a better understanding of this uniqueness.  It will help you to understand why people do the things they do and act the way they act. Creation Therapy is a new approach to counseling that deals with the inner man rather than outer manifestations or problems.  Creation Therapy will teach you how to identify the “hidden” problems and how to counsel those who turn to you for help."
Dr. Richard Arno, President and Founder of the Sarasota Academy of Christian Counseling in Sarasota, Florida

APS testimonies
APS Testing
        The big eight secular approaches in dealing with the conditions and mental health issues of mankind's existence are based on humanism and evolutionary theories.  Creation Therapy is a Christian Psychology approach to address the issues at the core of the way an individual was created.   “I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works . . ."  (Psalm 139:14)

Human beings were created social beings. The whole meaning of our existence is wrapped up in our relationships to others and to God. Understanding the nature of relationship needs is essential to the process of healing.

• Before We Are Born (Jeremiah 1:5) (Psalm 139)
The nature of how we relate to one another is built in by our Creator before we are born. A profile of our relationship needs and desires as defined in the mind, will and emotion is known as our Temperament.  The fact that our temperament comes as standard equipment at birth has been verified by countless scientific experiments and confirmed by multitudes of parents. Humans come pre-designed with needs, wants, and desires at a very basic level. God himself has knit us together. However, God has also equipped us with a “free will” that gives us the ability to live by our decisions rather than our nature.

• APS (Formerly Known As Temperament Analysis Profile)
The Arno Profile System (APS) was developed specifically for Christian Counselors by Christian Counselors, PhDs. This accurate, simple, yet highly effective tool helps the counselor to gather specific information about the inborn temperament of the subject who has sought out their counsel.  This tool identifies a person’s relationship needs and to what extent those needs are being met. Areas where needs are not being met can be identified and addressed. The APS also reveals the areas where the subject and their relationships with others are out of balance.  Helping the subject get their needs met produces satisfying results. The APS enables the counselor to identify areas the subject is experiencing difficulty in and help create an effective treatment plan.

• Interpretation – Strengths and Weaknesses
The APS enables the measurement of, and understanding the nature of a person’s temperament. Both strengths and weaknesses will be revealed. Areas of weakness typically provide the best opportunities for healing. Scripture says that out of our weaknesses we are made strong (Hebrews 11:34). You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free” John 8:32
