Wade started his counseling career later in life, having been an Army veteran, a business owner, and a contractor.  Having experienced the challenges associated with military service, separation from family, divorce, blending of families, and the consequences of unhealthy coping skills, Wade has had many life experiences that enable him to relate to his clients.  

​

Wade’s counseling experience and client base are full-spectrum. He meets clients wherever they are and explores their world within the context of their culture and beliefs while relying heavily on his Christian faith to exemplify the love of Christ. Elements from many theoretical orientations and techniques are integrated while remaining faithful to his solution-focused brief therapy orientation.

 

Philosophy of Christian Coaching and Counseling

​

        “When determining a pathway to healing, I develop a treatment plan with the client, not for the client.  While my primary theoretical orientation is solution-focused brief therapy, I often use other techniques based on the client’s personality, history, and strengths such psychoanalytic

therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy,

bibliotherapy, reality/choice therapy, Gestalt therapy,

dialectical behavioral therapy, family systems therapy, and

mindful therapy.  I integrate my Christian faith into them with

absolute confidence that God can use all things for good

according to his purposes for the client. (Romans 8:28)."
