When looking for a couples counselor why choose between a male or female counselor? Why not have both? At Wheeler and Wheeler Counseling we work as a husband and wife duo providing both individual counseling - individually, as well as couples counseling - collaboratively. We are licensed Christian counselors who integrate faith with the daily challenges our clients face. We love collaborating with couples in marriage counseling, premarital counseling, and what we like to call prebaby counseling. As partners in both life and practice, we bring a deep understanding of the joys, struggles, and intricacies in relationships.

Your current life is not what you intended. You are smart, tough, and have a moral compass, but overwhelming feelings or compulsive behaviors continue to overshadow who you know you are deep down. You have become a chronic people pleaser and overextend yourself at work. You feel burned out and can’t seem to be fully present at home. You want to get back to your normal self, but you’re not sure how to find a solution that actually “sticks”. Even thinking about solutions is draining.

I am Beth Ann Mergens, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a wife, and mother to five amazing children. Over the last 15 years I have navigated the ups and downs that come with raising kids a variety of ages, the tension of both releasing and nurturing a professional life, and living intentionally in marriage and multiple pregnancy losses. I have spent much of my career focusing on helping people through trauma recovery – adults and children, large traumas and little ones. It is very important to me that my clients feel seen, known, and understood. Life is made up of stories, and yours is incredibly important.

I provide counseling and coaching to female teens and adults living with depression, anxiety, adjustment disorder, relationship problems, self-esteem issues, major life transitions and maladaptive coping. Mental health and physical health are irrevocably connected—poor mental health can lead to poor physical health and harmful behaviours. Depression has been linked to many chronic illnesses. I take a holistic approach to therapy and discuss physical health/fitness and nutrition; emotional resilience; positive social connections; intellectual stimulation and spiritual fulfilment.

Sometimes clients can feel stuck in “survival mode”, which can keep them from fully engaging in their lives. I am passionate about empowering my clients to see they have options in their lives and ensure they are able to regain a sense of self. I believe such empowerment allows clients to create better connections with others and have compassion for themselves. It can be exhausting to feel like you have to be “fine” all the time, especially during a difficult season of life. I offer a safe space for you to come in and heal.

It is possible to move through life with minimal struggle. Your outward action in harmony with the inner voice that guides you, doing the right thing for the right reason, with a feeling of the wind at your back, effortless. One school of thought is that if you are not busy doing something and staying on top of things, you will lose your edge and your effectiveness. This attitude can create an over-active mind, prone to excessive worry and stress. The Art of Struggle Reduction takes a different approach. Moving through life with minimal worry, stress, and struggle makes one more effective, not less.
