As a Christian counselor, it is Lyn’s joy to work with her clients to help them on their life journey. She uses a blend of approaches to counseling including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy, which are in harmony with a Biblical worldview and which can help her clients achieve their personal goals.

Lyn seeks to help adults who are feeling at an impasse in their lives and want to get “unstuck,” those who are struggling with emotions that feel overwhelming, and others who come with a variety of needs and desires for a more fulfilling, meaningful life. She is passionate about helping people who are experiencing difficulty in their relationships to find new approaches to handling those conflicts.

Lyn is married, has four adult children and six grandchildren, and enjoys spending her time with them.

 Paul Laskowske received his Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) from Richmont Graduate University in Chattanooga. Paul helps people who have lost their way get reconnected--to God, to spouse or family, to themselves and their own dreams and goals. He works with missionaries or children of missionaries wrestling with cultural identity and stress; with families struggling through addiction or other issues creating distance among those they love; and with individuals pursuing the soul healing God offers from the wounds of emotional brokenness.   Paul is continuing to learn Gottman Method Therapy for working with couples, and has an eclectic approach with individuals that integrates interpersonal, narrative, and solution-focused elements with his Christian worldview. He and his wife Rachel enjoy board games, the outdoors, and staying connected with friends and family around the world.

Chris earned his Master’s in Counseling through Denver Seminary. He has spent much of his career working with serious mental illnesses, with a focus on addictions, relationship issues, and crises.
In addition to his own practice, Chris has worked within hospitals, jails and a homeless shelter. He has taught addictions treatment at the undergraduate level, as well as supervised dozens of new counselors into their own licensure.

The way Christopher approaches counseling is, first-of-all, recognizing the privilege that it is to enter into another person’s struggle. Relying on the Holy Spirit to guide the conversation, Chris is always looking for ways to support the client, as well as to challenge him or her. Such feedback has to be true, and it has to be meaningful. 

Between the sessions, homework is designed to reveal what is missing. Sometimes what is missing are details within the story, and sometimes what is missing is the practice of new skills. Practice does not make perfect, because frequently what was practiced instead reinforced the problem – and so now the new practice will feel awkward or unsteady.

Chris hopes that most of what brings a person into counseling can be worked through within in 6-8 sessions. New problems may be recognized along the way, but not always. The counseling process is not a lifetime commitment even though, beforehand, it may feel like it.
