About

Welcome to Loving Truth Counseling,

where we believe that everyone has a story, a

journey marked by triumphs and trials. We'd

like to share a bit of your own journey with you,

so you can understand why we are so passionate

about what we do.

Our Journey

Dan who can be a guide on the journey to emotional healing and self-discovery, has been married for 23 wonderful and challenging years. His family has grown together in a cozy home in Cuyahoga Falls, which has grown from a family of two into a bustling household of six.

Like any family, we've experienced our share of tumult - the trials and tribulations of navigating adulthood and marriage, raising children, and juggling daily life. These struggles led to years of pain, frustration, loneliness, and disappointment. Despite our shared love for Jesus, we struggled to communicate effectively and to express love to one another amidst the chaos of daily life.

That's when God led us to Life Skills International, an incredible healing program that transformed our lives. Through this program, we were able to delve deep into the root causes of our individual issues, healing from within, and witnessing the positive ripple effect it had on our marriage and family. We've since become trained facilitators of the program, with Dan taking on the role of Director of the local Grace Life Skills Center in 2021. Inspired by this journey, Dan has also achieved a Master's degree in Pastoral Biblical counseling, driven by his passion to see individuals and marriages strengthened and restored.
