Our Mission

Gentle Shepherd was founded in 1997, by Maureen Cooper and David McWilliams, to fill the need in the Northeast Ohio region for a comprehensive Christian based counseling center.

We acknowledge Jesus Christ as our Shepherd, and strive to serve Him in enabling all who come to us to clearly hear His voice, to follow Him in paths of righteousness, and to enjoy the abundant life which is God's will for each of us. Gentle Shepherd is not affiliated with any religious organization or denomination.
