I believe that our mission as Christians and psychotherapists is to try to understand hurting people. We should speak the truth in love and kindness while working to establish meaningful Godly connections with our clients. By doing this, we foster a nurturing, safe environment. This environment creates a space to make the most of our clients' capacity for enjoyment and ownership of their own lives. 

Through this process, our clients learn to tolerate grief and limitations while leaning on God’s grace to make a way for their healing. We, as Christian therapists, are to incubate change and growth under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, sharing one another’s burdens until the burden is lifted, knowing that God will always assist. This task is a team effort: the therapist, the client and the Holy Spirit.

I have come this far obtaining a Doctoral Degree in Psychology through the Grace of God. I have faced many challenges during this time, including the death of my brother through suicide on February 15, 2006.  Because of his death, I have completed a study on the survivor’s experience of creating meaning from the suicide of a loved one. 

I am not sure from these findings if one creates meaning out of such devastation.  However, I do know that my love and trust in God has only increased during this time.  I know that I am a survivor.  Through this process I have seen and felt the hand of God on my life.  I know that it is through His Grace that I have obtained this degree, and I give Him all the Glory, the entire Honor and all Praise.

“I consider it a privilege to be at Access Christian Counseling, where I can share my faith with other believers and lean on the Holy Spirit to assist me in counseling and comforting other people.”
