Professional Pastoral Counseling

Where biblical wisdom meets clinical expertise for real life transformation

Sometimes You Need More Than a Sermon

You've prayed about it. You've read your Bible. You've sought advice from friends. But you're still stuck.

That's where professional pastoral counseling comes in. It's not a lack of faith that brings you to counseling—it's wisdom.

With over 30 years of experience, a doctorate in pastoral counseling, and extensive clinical training, I offer a unique blend of biblical truth and psychological insight to help you navigate life's most challenging seasons.

My Approach: Where Faith Meets Professional Care

Biblically Grounded

Every session is rooted in scriptural truth. We don't just talk about your problems—we discover what God's Word says about your situation and how to apply it practically.

Clinically Informed

With a doctorate in pastoral counseling and extensive clinical training, I integrate proven therapeutic techniques with biblical wisdom for comprehensive care.

Personally Tailored

You're not a case study—you're a unique individual. Every counseling plan is customized to your specific situation, personality, and goals.

Solution Focused

We don't just explore problems—we pursue solutions. Each session moves you closer to breakthrough with practical action steps and spiritual strategies.

Stories of Hope and Healing

"I came to Dr. Carter completely broken after my divorce. He helped me see that my identity wasn't in my marriage but in Christ. Six months later, I'm not just surviving—I'm thriving with purpose and hope."

— Rachel, 38

"As a CEO, I thought I had it all together. But anxiety was eating me alive. Dr. Carter showed me how to cast my cares on God practically, not just theoretically. Game changer."

— Mark, 45

"We were ready to give up on our marriage. Dr. Carter helped us see each other through God's eyes again. We didn't just save our marriage—we built a better one."

— Tom & Lisa, Married 15 years
