As counselors at AuroraChristianCounseling.com (ACC), we are committed, trained, and experienced to help
you develop a healthy, balanced life.  We obtained graduate degrees and extensive experience in a
mental health field.  We will guide your walk to increase the quality of your life and relationships with God, self, and others.

An important step toward a healthy life is to choose a therapist who is right for you.  As you read
about our therapists, pray for direction about who is appropriate to you.

We are committed to creating a comfortable and secure clinical environment, so the client can proceed
through his or her personal treatment plan with dignity, privacy, and confidence.

The therapists of ACC are each independent mental health professionals, with their own private practices.
While ACC has carefully selected each counselor, they are not employees of ACC but rather are independent counseling businesses.
