"I've got stuff, you've got stuff, all of God's people got stuff."  -Dr. Terry Wardle

This quote capsulizes the foundation of what to expect. Expect to be treated as a normal person, dealing with difficult stuff. We are not our disorders or disabilities. We are individuals who have "got stuff."

Up front there are several documents that need to be completed and signed. Insurance or self-pay agreements to sign including a resonsible party form, privacy policy form and a health insurance release for those choosing to use insurance.

While counseling is designed to promote emotional healing and freedom - we have to have "little hurts to heal the big hurts." - Mr. Paul R. White LCSW, talking about our pain is never something we enjoy - but talking about our pain is the first step to healing.

Testimonials

"You guys are the best."

"...I think the therapist is helping our teenage son.  The threats of hurting himself have stopped and I feel he is getting better handling the issues that arise at school.  I appreciate the faith based counseling here and know we can trust the care being given." 

My therapist, "always takes the time to cover all the bases for my child anmd gives me hope for a better future."

"I have always felt comfortable and understood at Sojourners.  I came here to seek growth and healing from health crises and past emotional trauma.  At Sojourners, I have grown and I am healing with the joy of having a great therapist and a place where I can be myself.  Every session has been a positive experience."

"From day one I felt I could tell her anything and she didn't judge or criticize.  She cares about my well being and healing."

"I feel safe at Sojourners.  My therapist has helped me in my personal journey and also in my marriage.  I'm so thankful to God for bringing me here."  

"Yes I think the therapist is helping our teenage son.  The threats of hurting himself have stopped and I feel he is getting better handling the issues that arise at school.  I appreciate the faith based counselors here and know we can trust the care being given."

"Our family has had a great experience with the services offered at Sojourners.  Everyone has been kind, patient and respectful of our circumstances.  Thank you so much!  Keep up the good work you all do to make a difference in so many people's lives by helping them on their journey towards healing.  God Bless!"

"In my 20+ years as a foster parent, I've been to many many counseling services.  When I say yours is the best by far you can believe I've had several to compare you to.  Warmth, comfort, friendship, compassion, sincerity, professionals and more describe Sojourners.  We are extremely happy here.  When I was told no one could be recommended to counsel me or my family, Kyle stepped right up and filled my hopeless, empty, void.  I thank God for you all and deeply appreciate your time and efforts.  Keep blessing us and all those you encounter and may God continue to richly bless all of you!"

“During my internship with Kyle Kershner, I gained knowledge and experience working with children and families. Kyle provided guidance throughout my internship to help me to develop effective counseling skills. I hope to use this knowledge and skills in my own mental health practice one day.”​​
