Meet Our Counselors
Our team is composed of biblical and pastoral counselors — trained caregivers who walk alongside people using Scripture, prayer, and relational presence. Several staff also hold clinical licensure, which deepens their work, though our primary offering remains Christ-centered biblical soul care.

Care Type Guide
Biblical / Pastoral
Pastoral care and biblical soul care — not a licensed clinical service
Biblical + Credentialed AODA
Biblical and pastoral care plus substance-use services within a current Wisconsin SAC-IT credential and supervision; not independent mental-health licensure
Licensed Clinical
State-licensed clinical therapy provided within the professional’s current license and scope
Biblical & Licensed
Integrates pastoral care with licensed clinical training
Pastoral Supervision: Interns and students providing biblical care or encouragement do so under direct pastoral oversight — not under licensed clinical supervision. This is consistent with the legal and ethical distinction between pastoral ministry and licensed clinical practice.
