    Our Story

    About 25 years ago, my involvement in women’s Bible study groups caused me to see the need for a counseling practice that embraced and supported those who hold biblical values. At that time, I was not aware of a place that met this need.

     

    It was important that these values be an integral part of competent counseling. Northwest Ohio Christian Counseling was created to provide such an environment where individuals could address all 4 spheres of life – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

     

    Through the years, the practice has expanded to serve children, adolescents, families and individuals in our community. Our scope of practice has grown to include: Animal Assisted Therapy, Brain Health Coaching, Splankna Therapy and Trauma Therapy. Our therapists are licensed as Professional Clinical Counselors (Ohio) and also Board Certified Professional Christian Counselors (IBCC).

    Our Mission

    Our mission is to connect clients to solutions that help them overcome past and present challenges to fulfill their futures.
