With Speakers Jarod Thomas & Dr. Nick Howard

Subject:  The Slow Slide Towards Burnout, and Turning Things Around.

Date: September 18th, 2025

Times: 11:00 AM EST or 7:00 PM EST (10:00am/6:00pm CST)

Welcome.

We are here to help.

We know that hard things can overwhelm any one of us.  You might be struggling with anxiety or depression.  Or you might be stuck in destructive patterns that leave you embarrassed and perhaps even feeling despair about ever changing.

Living in isolation and “trying harder” on our own only tends to make things worse though.

We believe taking the risk to talk to someone who is well-trained in how to enter the toughest of places with you, is a vital element in helping you recover and live in greater freedom.

We are a practice that values core biblical principles as we practice Christian counseling.

While we are glad to help anyone who comes our way, and we certainly won’t impose our beliefs on anyone, our “sweet spot” is serving believers who are struggling and longing to get back on track.

We offer a listening ear, God-honoring insights, and practical tools to help you recover and live in deeper peace and fullness.

We help our clients heal and find their way to a life-giving maturity, in a world that in many ways is terribly broken.

In sum, we work to build an authentic and transformational relationship with you to help you restore your life and live out your deepest calling.

 

About the Founder

Hi, my name is Dr. Nick Howard. 

I know reaching out to a therapist for the first time can certainly feel daunting. But, I can say based on multiple personal experiences, that reaching out to a godly, competent therapist can bring hope, healing and even flourishing in ways that are hard to describe.

I can confidently state that if you are uncertain about reaching out to us, you will personally encounter caring, competent, godly people who are passionate about giving you their best.  They will help you experience relief, healing, and restoration in ways you likely haven't before.

 On the professional front, I was truly fortunate to earn my doctorate in clinical psychology from Wheaton College, and learn directly from godly and widely-respected faculty such as Dr.’s Mark McMinn,  Derek McNeil, and Stanton Jones.

I have been a licensed clinical psychologist since 2001. I have also engaged in leadership coaching and training since 2003.

I’ve had the honor of being published in Christian publications, spoken at Christian psychological conferences, and taught in the doctoral program in clinical psychology at Wheaton College. I’ve also been able to coach, speak, and conduct trainings designed to help Christian leaders flourish and lead in life-changing ways, for nearly twenty years.

I am very grateful to lead a faithful Christian group practice that is undeniably being used by God to bring hope, healing, and wholeness to so many unique and precious lives.

OUR COUNSELING PROCESS

TO HELP YOU HEAL

Going to counseling initially can undeniably be a bit intimidating.  Sharing your struggles with someone who initially is a total stranger can be hard.

We do our best to make starting as easy as possible, and for nearly everyone who comes to us, their sessions with their therapist are a truly grounding and life-giving experience.

Our therapists are understanding, genuine, and gifted at what they do.  The process is completely confidential and time-tested.

As you faithfully engage in the steps below, it is highly likely that your life will become much healthier and richer.

SHARE THE BURDEN

Often there is a real sense of relief as you share your burden and have someone walking with you on your path.

ENCOUNTER GRACE

When we meet grace instead of judgment as we share our struggles, it nurtures hope and creates room for positive change.

MAKE COURSE CORRECTIONS

As our souls gradually heal, we develop healthier viewpoints, and start making real, lasting changes in how we live.

LIVE IN GREATER FREEDOM

Over time, the process leads to greater freedom, greater meaning, and richer contributions. We become genuine models of life to the full.

We have more to share about the life-giving process of being in therapy, if you would like to learn more about it.

  Of course we are a bit biased, but we really believe in the powerful and lasting good that comes through a positive therapy experience.  Click below to learn more.
