Biblical Counseling Contractor Network

Biblical Counselor Application Pathway

RHM receives applications from qualified biblical and pastoral counselors who desire to serve within a Christ-centered, supervised, ethically accountable counseling ministry. Approved counselors may be considered for participation in the RHM Biblical Counseling Contractor Network after completing all application, interview, documentation, and training requirements.

Scope of Care Disclosure

RHM provides biblical counseling and pastoral care — not licensed psychotherapy, diagnosis, psychiatric treatment, or medical care. Approved biblical counselors serve within a supervised ministry model. When a concern falls outside the scope of biblical or pastoral care, RHM may recommend referral to an appropriate licensed professional, physician, or emergency service. This is an independent contractor arrangement, not an employee position.

Personal Information

Please note: Approved counselors do not begin serving until all application steps, interviews, background screening, and required pre-service training are fully completed. An offer does not guarantee a start date before these requirements are met.

Care That Is Measured — Because People Are What Matter

Restoring Hope Ministries tracks the well-being of every participant in our clinical and faith-based services using empirically validated screeners, clinical interviews, behavioral analysis, and self-report — so we can honestly see whether the people we serve are getting better.

This rigor reflects the training of our founder, Dr. Jeffrey Gross, who earned an M.S. in Clinical Psychology from the Wisconsin School of Professional Psychology and is continuing his Psy.D. studies in Clinical Psychology, with completion anticipated in 2028. His Th.D. in Theology and Ph.D. in Christian Counseling complement that clinical education with theological preparation for Christ-centered soul care.

At Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin, he served as a Student Psychologist and later Chief Student Psychologist, supporting veterans and first responders with traumatic brain injuries through the BRAVE program. His work included assessment, individualized treatment planning, multidisciplinary rehabilitation, psychoeducational and process-oriented groups, and peer supervision. His experience also includes supervised psychological testing of clergy at Milwaukee Psychotherapy Collaborative, recovery-focused group development at The Manor by Windrose, and case management and peer-support supervision at Biehl Bridges to Recovery.

Continuing education in assessment, trauma, neurobehavioral conditions, supervision, ethics, and risk management further informs this approach. Together, these experiences help shape RHM’s commitment to careful assessment, responsible documentation, collaborative care, and attention to each person’s spiritual, relational, emotional, and practical needs. His clinical psychology doctorate remains in progress; this background does not replace the qualifications or licensure required for regulated clinical services.
