My work is informed and focused from my training, life experience, education, and Christian roots.
I am only working online virtually with the app Zoom (HIPPA security), available for cell/tablets, it can be accessed directly on your PC. If you send you your email I’ll send you an activation link. I work with anyone that wants to create change in their life! Anyone that is choosing to move on to a more fulfilling life, it doesn’t matter where that motivation comes from! It could be from deep inside them or someone else helping them to see the need. I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy and hypnotherapy as primary tools for trauma, PTSD, and adverse childhood events (ACE).

My name is Greg Byrge, a Christian counselor and owner of One Truth Counseling. I am thankful to walk alongside individuals, couples, and families where God’s presence becomes the great equalizer in reaching emotional, relational, and spiritual healing. Many individuals face unique challenges and circumstances that leave them carrying burdens, which create uncertainty and develop a sense of hopelessness, darkness, and frustration in their lives. Jesus said, "I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness."

Everyone could use someone to talk with that doesn't have (as my grandmother would say) "a dog in the fight". My ideal client would need someone to listen to them and have the desire to work together with me to create the change they wish to see in their life. Their goal would be to create a lasting change. Since lasting change can take time, my ideal client would be willing to put in the work and time this lasting change will require.

I believe in marriage. I believe that any marriage can be saved if three things are present: 1) both husband and wife are willing to take responsibility for their own behavior, 2) both are willing to change the parts of their own behavior that needs to be changed and 3)both have a little bit of "one more try" remaining in them.

When we're hurting, confused, anxious, alone, or afraid, when we're doubtful of our own worth or uncertain of who we are, we ache for deep understanding and acceptance. The unconditional companionship of another person creates a space for a healing awareness. I believe this is the most precious gift one person can give another. I primarily work from a person-centered and psychodynamic perspective, incorporating other resources, including spirituality, according to your unique needs and desiring.

I am particularly fond of working with adults, who find themselves struggling with today's world, past abuse issues and current relationship issues. I look forward to meeting & helping you on your journey. On your first visit an initial assessment is completed & a treatment plan is initiated.

Health is "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." To link behavioral risk factors to outcomes so that early interventions can begin, we (Populations and Interventions Teams Company, PITC) address correlated conditions. We strive to make client experiences less complicated but complete, considering the lack of transportation in our rural areas, using evidence-based public health practices and behavioral health practice modalities. We collaborate to achieve treatment goals that would result in improved health outcomes.

Christian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
