Christian Counseling
ContactI work hard to get clinical psychotherapy right. I take that seriously. We’re grounded in empirically proven methods and clinical modalities that are designed to treat a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and relational issues. And I value that—being a skilled clinician is not just a title, it’s a commitment.
I use traditional counseling approaches because clinical symptoms need to be seen, recognized, and treated clinically. I’ve seen the damage done when Christian counselors mistake every issue for a personality problem or a moral failing. That’s not helpful—and honestly, it’s irresponsible. Mental health is real. Symptoms are real. And they deserve to be treated that way.
But I’ve also seen it go the other direction. When therapists treat everything as a clinical issue and ignore the realities of life, faith, and internal conflict—that’s a disservice too. People don’t live in categories. They live in complexity.
That’s why I’m honest about this: Owen Clinic is a Christian counseling practice.
Not because we use a “Christian modality”—there isn’t one. But because life is full of faith questions, value clashes, identity struggles, and deeper meaning, and we see those things through a biblical worldview.
We’re not preachers in the therapy room. We’re people—people who are growing in our own relationship with Christ, and who want to be wise, God-honoring, and clinically excellent. When I counsel, I do so with that worldview in mind.
Is your phone a Christian phone? Depends on whose hands it’s in and what they use it for.
Same with counseling. Christian counseling is defined by the person offering it—not by a technique or a label.
As a counselor, I’m here to offer unconditional positive regard and guidance. Think of it like a caddy in golf—I don’t swing for you. But I do walk alongside, offer perspective, and help you think about what direction you’re really trying to go.
Christian counseling is information about who we are, not about who you have to be.
It doesn’t have to be your identity for us to work together. We’re not here to force anything—we’re here to walk with you.
And no—we’re not going to make you pray in session.
Do we pray for our clients? Yes.
Do we ask if you want prayer? Only if it’s clearly appropriate.
You’re always allowed to say no.
And if it’s clear you’re not interested, we won’t even ask.
For Clarity:
If you don’t want to talk about faith, you don’t have to.
If you do, I’m very comfortable having that conversation with you. Clients sometimes ask, “I’m not a Christian—will that be a problem?” My answer? “We won’t hold that against you, if you don’t hold our faith against us.”
You came for help. Let’s talk about that.
We’ve also found that many people unknowingly quote scripture all the time—truth is truth. If it helps you, use it. Whether or not you cite chapter and verse.
Some clients are deeply driven by their faith. Others are still figuring it out—or aren’t interested in faith at all. That’s okay. What matters is that you’re here, asking honest questions about your life, your values, and your direction. That’s counseling. That’s the work.
If you are a person of faith, you may eventually realize that emotional distress sometimes comes from living out of alignment with your beliefs. That’s not judgment—it’s insight. It’s absolutely a counseling issue when your internal life and your core values are in conflict.
Christians and non-Christians alike face the same challenge:
Reconciling what they believe, what they say they believe, and what they actually live.
My job isn’t to correct you—it’s to help you see the whole picture and make informed, wise decisions for your life.
When I say we operate from a biblical worldview, that means we’re learning and applying what the Bible teaches—not rewriting it to fit what’s trendy. You won’t be steered into advice that contradicts scripture. But we also recognize how often scripture has been misused.
I’ve seen the damage done when people—sometimes even well-intentioned ones—misquote, twist, or weaponize the Bible. We do a lot of work in therapy helping people untangle that kind of spiritual confusion or misuse.
For our Christian friends, that’s part of reclaiming God’s voice in your life.
For our non-Christian friends, it’s part of understanding where we’re coming from and knowing you don’t have to subscribe to that worldview to receive real, respectful, and effective care here.
Because yes—our faith influences us. That’s true for everyone, whether it’s faith in God, science, love, or personal autonomy. We’re influenced by the things we care about. But that doesn’t mean we push those onto you.
Will we affirm every life decision someone makes? No—not if it contradicts a biblical worldview.
Will we ever shame or guilt you for not holding that worldview? Also no.
You’re the one living your life.
If you go out and change the world—that’s yours.
If you go out and make mistakes—that’s yours too.
Either way, we’re here to support you, walk with you, and help you grow.
So if you’re navigating clinical struggles, personal issues, or deep life questions—whether you’re a Christian, not a Christian, unsure, or just tired—we’re here.
We’re trained. We’re equipped. And we’d be honored to walk with you.

I have been a therapist for over 25 years, and I have worked with Kevon for the last several years in a professional setting. I have seen him work effectively with a diversity of patients and at times a very difficult client base. His Christian values are a big part of what makes Kevon so good at what he does. He has incredible insight and can stand up next to the most seasoned of therapists. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to meet any of your mental health or counseling needs.
