All of our counselors at Gentle Shepherd Counseling Center have either masters or doctoral degrees and have fulfilled the State of Ohio's requirements for diagnosing and treating mental and emotional disorders. We have also had thousands of hours of experience while being supervised by someone who is already licensed before we earned our own licenses.  In addition, we all must continue our education by taking 30 hours of advanced training every two years.

What is unique about our counselors is that we have all had training on how to integrate our theology with psychology. We continue to work on this in our daily lives as well as in weekly team meetings. We are experts at looking at problems with the knowledge of psychology and the lens of our faith in God.
