The Journey to Wholeness

Everyone experiences the pain and disappointment of living in a broken world. Our souls have been fragmented by the suffering we have experienced and how we have responded to that suffering. Pastors and ministry leaders often experience both their own pain and the pain of those they lead. Many leaders are trending towards an unhealthy place and are already on the verge of burnout because they have not had the time to heal or training to lead from a place of health.

The Becoming Whole center exist to come alongside leaders to facilitate healing and wholeness in order to be renewed for greater Kingdom impact.

MY APPROACH

True and lasting change is possible for every person. Our wounds come through relationships and our healing will also come through relationships. I take a relational approach when coming alongside individuals for counseling, mentoring, spiritual direction, or discipling.

In order to become whole, the whole person must be addressed. This includes the physical, psychological, psycho-social, emotional and spiritual.

Healing will come through engaging your story and understanding how you became who you are and how to become who you are created and called to be.

Testimonies

I needed to be cared for and challenged.

I spent time in counseling with Justin for a number of months. During this time I was processing a lot of church trauma, unhealthy family patterns and behaviors that I had adapted because of these circumstances and from my experiences. He provided an extremely safe and encouraging space, while also provided challenging questions to a young man that needed both care and challenge. He allowed me to experience all of my emotions and helped me navigate a mess of emotion and hurt that had been strangling me for years. I also experienced The Holy Spirit’s wisdom in a unique way that I had not before, and to this day only have experienced a couple of times outside of the counseling relationship with Justin. He has a gift to listen to The Holy Spirit and supply words given him through this listening that has certainly helped me.

Restoration in the deepest parts of my soul

Justin was transformational in my walk with God. I was able to relate to God in a truer and deeper way as I experienced restoration within the deepest parts of my soul.

David

Passionate about seeing people reach their full potential.

I have known Justin for almost 10 years as a mentor, friend, and pastor. He has been a steady rock for me and my family through some very rough times. He is reliable, caring, and has a heart for Christ that comes through in all he does. He is passionate about seeing others reach their full potential and sensitive to the guidance of the Spirit in all situations. I highly recommend him as a mentor and counselor.

Help becoming who I am today.

When I first met Justin, I was new to Orlando and really struggling across multiple aspects of my life. Meeting with him, he provided some much needed clarity and helped me walk through each struggle while helping me develop tools to continue becoming healthier. I can honestly say my life would not be what it is now without his help and guidance!

Cloe

I learned to process emotions.

Justin is a man who loves God and loves people well. I am so grateful for the time he spent teaching me how to process my emotions and work through sin in my life. Most importantly, he helped me become a better follower of Jesus, Husband, Father and Man.

Brian

I felt heard, seen, and so loved.

I was in such a dark place for so long. I was riddled with pain and shame, and struggled to believe there was redemption and freedom for me. A loved one encouraged me to reach out to Justin as he had helped them when they were in a low place. I am beyond grateful that I took heed to that advice and met with Justin. I felt heard, seen, and so loved. He offered me compassion, truth, and allowed me to be ministered to by the Lord in that space. I remember coming in heavy, yet leaving feeling light and some true freedom. It was just what I needed, but didn’t believe was possible. I highly recommend anyone seek counsel and guidance through Justin. It literally changed my life at that point and I am immensely grateful!

Begin your journey today

There is hope for healing. If you are in ministry then you are particularly susceptible to brokenness all around you. I would love to journey with you and the road to healing and wholeness.

F.A.Q.

How much does care cost?

My base rate is $130 per hour for individual counseling and $160 for couples counseling. I offer scholarships as they are available. I do not want finances to hinder anyone from getting help, so I am always open to a conversation about how we can be creative.

Do you take Insurance?

I take insurance on a case by case basis. I am able to take Aetna, Cigna, Oxford, United, and Oscar. I also can provide invoices with the required information for clients to submit their own claims.

What are your hours?

I am flexible in my schedule and willing to see what works for both sides. I prefer not not meet in the evenings so I can be with my family.

How do I apply for a scholarship?

You can fill out the Contact Me form and indicate you desire for a scholarship.

Do I need to be in ministry in order to receive care?

No, you do not need to be in ministry. I have a heart for those in ministry because of my own story, but I am open to meeting with anyone.

Can I give to provide scholarships for others?

Yes you can. I have partnered with Mission Together to allow people to give to scholarships. You can read more here or simply make a donation here.
