Our Counselors and Staff

Reigning Grace Counseling Center retains counselors, instructors, and staff who are committed to the idea of “life change through heart change,” an adage coined by founder, Dr. Julie Ganschow, Ph.D. 

Each member of the Reigning Grace team looks soberly to God’s Word in answering life’s questions.

Each member of the counseling staff is a ministering servant in their church and the community at large and is certified with the Association of Certified Biblical Counseling (ACBC) and the International Association of Biblical Counselors (IABC).

We encourage you to take a moment to become acquainted with each one.
