MEET ISAAC

Hello friends!  Since I was very small, I have been fascinated by the relationships, especially between romantic partners.  I love to help couples find ways to rebuild connection and trust, and to learn to enjoy each other.  There is hope for any marriage where two people are willing to try to change small things to treat each other better.  I have been honored to witness couples rebuilding trust after affairs, supporting each other through their traumas and other mental health issues, and finding that there is hope to reconnect and have true relationship satsifaction! I work with couples using the Gottman Method and am currently seeking certification in that method.  That means that when I meet with a couple, I complete an assesment process that usually takes the first 3 meetings to make sure that I truly get to know you and your relationship.  The Gottman's have discovered what leads to relationship satisfaction, and their method teaches couples how to build that satisfaction by changing small things and doing them often.  It would be an honor to have the opportunity to help you love each other well!

 You may want to know about my education and training.  I have a Master of Arts in Counseling from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary received in 2011 and I am currently licensed in the state of Indiana (since 2014).   I have experience working in substance abuse clinics, working at a church counseling center with couples and adults, and at an agency that focuses primarily on children and families. I was on staff at Christian Fellowship Church from 2013 until 2016 providing counseling and support to various ministries. Since 2016, I have been in private practice.  

I like to work towards goals that are defined together with clients in meetings.  My personal goal and passion is to help people reach maturity in the faith through the skills I have learned.  I am grieved by the suffering I have witnessed and hope to help create a world where more people treat each other right.  I counsel from a Christian perspective. However, I let each client decide how much they want faith to be a part of counseling.

 

Issues I have experience with are:

Depression 

Anxiety 

Parenting skills

Couples counseling 

Communication

Relationship issues

Grief and loss

Addictive behavior
