Individual care and development

At The Open Table, Individual Care and Development is at the heart of everything we do. We focus on helping you remove barriers to your relationship with God and restore your identity in Christ because that is at the heart of everything you do.

“Guard your heart (lev), for everything you do flows from it”

— Proverbs 4:23
In Hebrew thought, the lev (heart) is not just emotional — it represents the core of a person: where decisions are made, character is formed, and spiritual life flows. In other words, this Proverb says to guard your whole inner life — your thoughts, emotions, desires, convictions, and spiritual center — because your entire life is shaped by it.

Have you felt the need for support that includes your spiritual, emotional, and practical well-being?

Have you gotten help for one part of your life but continue to feel stuck in other areas?

Have you tried everything you know of to feel better? To be healthier?

ICD is for You

If you’ve asked yourself these questions, you’re not alone.
 It’s easy to feel like you should have figured this out by now—but the truth is, these struggles are deeply human and more common than you might think.
 They often reflect a deeper longing for healing, purpose, and connection with God.
You weren’t meant to carry all of this on your own.
 There is a path forward, and it begins with care that honors your whole being — body, mind, and spirit.
That’s the purpose of Individual Care and Development.

What Is ICD?

Individual Care and Development (ICD) is at the heart of everything we do.

Individual Care and Development (ICD) is a holistic approach that integrates spiritual direction, clinical psychology, and life coaching to offer practical guidance for personal growth, promote healing through supportive connection, and strengthen relationship with God.

🙋 Individual

ICD typically occurs in dyadic relationships (one client and one provider) to create a safe and focused space. Triadic relationships (two clients and one provider) are also available when helpful. In these settings, people can explore their stories, work through life experiences, and open up to deeper connection with one or two others.

💛 Care

All of us carry emotional and relational wounds from the past. All of us face real challenges in the present. Care is about meeting people in these places — providing support, trust, and encouragement in a way that is attuned, consistent, and genuine. This reflects the part of our mission that focuses on removing barriers to relationship with God, which are often rooted in pain, disappointment, or disconnection.

🌱 Development

The journey doesn’t stop with healing — it continues into growth. Development is about discovering more of who you are in Christ, living with greater purpose and awareness, and experiencing a greater positive impact in daily life. This parallels our mission to restore identity in Christ — not just through insight, but through transformation.

 We Are Healthy Caretakers

At The Open Table, we believe that in order to give, you have to first receive. In other words, we can’t help others grow in ways that we haven’t grown ourselves. Our team gives a significant amount of weekly time to our own individual care and development. We seek to care for others from a place of mental, emotional, and spiritual fullness. This commitment not only sustains us personally, but it also strengthens the integrity and impact of the care we offer.
