Let's cross this bridge together! Hi, I'm Andy. Great job reaching out for help. We'll start our journey together from where you are emotionally mentally, and spiritually. I will invest all of my 16 yrs. of experience into helping you get where you want to be. I have a wide background of experience in helping men, women, and teenagers. Ladies, I am very easy to talk to as I was raised by my mom and sis. It's like I never had a man card. ;) LOL Men, I'm 59 yrs. old, married 34 yrs.

My clients range from age 3, seeking play therapy, through senior adults who need a place to process life changes. Clients come to my office seeking a safe place to process circumstances that may have resulted in anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship difficulties. They may be feeling hopeless, helpless or overwhelmed and need a comfortable environment that provides a secure place to work toward desired change. Some people come to work through grief, some come to process past and present trauma. All are seeking safety, empathy, and to be heard.

Hearing your desires and goals about how you would like to respond to the adversities of life and then introducing you to concepts and strategies designed to help you respond to life's problems more effectively. My approach may include spiritual resources but I never impose my values and aim to be respectful of yours.

I started my own practice, Elbow Tree Christian Counseling, in 2006, because I wanted to paint the walls my own color, bring my dog to the office and wear flip flops! The practice grew to include a team of several really good friends and my wife, April.
Over the past 15 years, I have loved working with every angle of the family. If you looked at my schedule on any given day, you'd probably see a few married couples, some exhausted and burnt-out parents, a college student, a 4th-12th grader, someone having an affair, someone who has been crushed by a loss or a person who is wrestling through their attraction to the same gender. I often find that a person's willingness to come in and simply talk about things creates at least 50% of the change they are looking for.

Imagine feeling whole and integrated in your emotions, relationships, and faith. You might be dealing with problems in your relationships with your spouse, family, or friends. You may say “I don’t deal well with emotions” or struggle to set healthy boundaries. Maybe you feel stuck from past experiences, trauma, or negative beliefs you just can't move past. After a recent life change or relationship issue, such as a difficult marriage, motherhood, or divorce, you may feel like you don’t know who you are any more. Let's find YOU again. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationships, I am here to help.

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.
