A Personal Message from Dan Whitsitt

I want to take a moment to share with you why I am so passionate about the work I do and how counseling can create lasting change in your life.

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I work with people from all faith traditions, and help people apply clinically valid methods of marriage counseling to their individual problems. My own faith guides my practice of counseling, and I find that working with couples from a Christ-centered perspective gives tremendous ability for forgiveness, reconciliation, and helping couples to define healthy marital roles and relationships. 

Counseling is not just about solving problems—it's about transforming your life from the inside out. It's about replacing fear with confidence, sadness with joy, and confusion with clarity. Through the counseling process, you can uncover the deeper issues that are holding you back and develop the tools and strategies needed to overcome them.

Imagine waking up each day with a renewed sense of purpose and joy. Imagine achieving your goals with confidence and building relationships that are strong, healthy, and fulfilling. This is the kind of transformation that counseling can offer. It's about more than just feeling better—it's about creating a life that is truly worth living.

In my 35 years of experience, I've seen countless individuals and couples achieve these kinds of results. I've seen people who were once overwhelmed by anxiety or depression find peace and happiness. I've seen couples who were on the brink of divorce rebuild their relationship and create a stronger, more loving bond. I've seen individuals who felt lost or purposeless discover their true calling and begin to pursue it with passion.

I believe that every person is uniquely created by God and has the potential to live a life of joy, purpose, and fulfillment. My role as a counselor is to help you unlock that potential and guide you on your journey toward lasting change.

If you're ready to take the first step toward a better life, I invite you to reach out and schedule a session. Together, we can work toward achieving the goals you have for your life and relationships, and create the lasting change that you deserve.

Warm regards,
Dan Whitsitt, LCPC
