IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE CARE:
This is not licensed, professional counseling. This is faith-based counseling and mentoring as a form of discipleship.
Ellen is a Certified Biblical Counselor with the Association of Biblical Counselors
******
Ellen offers counseling and mentoring as a trained lay-counselor with 20+ years of experience serving local churches and parachurch ministries. Typically, we will meet on Zoom with occasional emails, texts, or phone calls. (In-person meetings might be appropriate in certain situations, too.) Counseling will be personalized according to your abilities and needs. Some meet weekly or biweekly, others only occasionally or on an as-needed basis. Your care will be catered to your unique situation. You are required to read and sign an Informed Consent (below) stating that you understand that this is not professional counseling and that you are willing to participate according to Ellen's requirements.
