From the First Call to the First Session
Getting Started
Start with the part you can put into words. Josh can ask questions about the rest.
Four Steps
A Conversation Before a Commitment
A licensed Ohio counselor, a biblical worldview, and a clear process for beginning care.
(937) 210-9474- 01
Call or Email Josh
Begin with a free 15-minute consultation. Describe the concern that prompted you to reach out and ask whether this practice offers the kind of counseling you are looking for.
- 02
Choose Your Session Format
Men can choose the Dayton office or telehealth anywhere in Ohio. Couples meet in person in Dayton, so both partners should plan for an office appointment.
- 03
Come to Your First Session
The first appointment lasts 55 minutes. We talk through what brought you in, consider your goals, and address your questions about how Christian faith will fit into the counseling.
- 04
Put the Work Into Everyday Life
Sessions continue weekly or every other week. Practical tools between appointments give you something to try in the situations we discuss, and we can talk about that experience when we meet again.
What to Have Ready
Nothing special. Just a place to begin the conversation.
You do not need a prepared account of your life or a perfect explanation of the problem. Bring the questions you have about counseling, your concerns, and how you want faith included.
Review Insurance and Payment
Read about accepted insurance, private pay, superbills, and cancellation notice. Ask about fees and coverage during the free consultation.
Insurance and PaymentConsider the Counseling Approach
Learn how Josh uses CBT, EMDR, and psychodynamic counseling alongside a Christian understanding of responsibility and grace.
Our ApproachWho Can Begin Here
Josh works with Christian men age 18 and up and couples. Individual concerns may include anxiety, anger, depression, pornography use, or a change in direction. Couples can bring communication problems, emotional distance, or betrayal.
The Work Beyond the First Appointment
Josh uses CBT to examine thoughts and responses, EMDR for trauma and painful memories, and psychodynamic counseling to explore recurring emotional patterns. The methods sit within a biblical worldview rather than asking you to set your beliefs aside.
Personal responsibility and grace both matter as you practice different responses between sessions.
Your Questions
Questions Before You Begin
Do I need to know exactly what is wrong?
No special preparation is needed. You can begin with a concrete concern, such as repeated arguments, overthinking, or a habit you want to address.
Can I ask about faith before scheduling?
The consultation gives you a chance to ask about Josh’s biblical worldview and clinical methods. In counseling, scripture and prayer are included as you want them.
Can my spouse and I start online?
Couples begin with in-person sessions at the Dayton office. Video appointments are an option for men’s individual counseling in Ohio, not for couples.
Ready when you are.
