Our Approach

Rooted in Scripture

We believe God's Word is sufficient for life's challenges—not just the "spiritual" ones, but all of them. From anxiety to marriage conflicts, the Bible speaks with authority and hope, with the power to transform us.

Professionally Trained

Our counselors are trained in bible, theology and biblical counseling methodology. They combine years of theological education with practical wisdom for applying Scripture to messy, complicated lives.

Church Connected

Biblical counseling is part of a broader vision to be an aid, and not a replacement for the local church. We work alongside your church leadership, not around them. With your permission, we coordinate with pastors to ensure consistent biblical care.

Gospel Saturated

All lasting change flows from the gospel. Not as a magic formula, but as the foundation for understanding who you are in Christ and how that transforms everything else.

Meet the Counselor

  • David Jamison

    David holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from Westminster Theological Seminary and is currently pursuing his Master of Divinity from Redemption Seminary. With several years of counseling experience specializing in individual and marriage counseling, he serves as Director of Discipleship and Counseling at Saint Andrew's, integrating his pastoral heart with his commitment to the sufficiency of God's Word for genuine life transformation.

    David counsels individuals and couples facing challenges ranging from anxiety, anger, and relational difficulties to complex issues like suicidal ideation and scrupulosity. His approach centers on utilizing Scripture to help believers walk more faithfully with Christ, believing that God's Word provides both the framework for understanding life's struggles and the divine resources for change.

    Married for seven and a half years to Lauren and father to Benaiah (4) and Simeon (2), his personal experience in marriage and parenting informs his compassionate counseling approach. His ministerial and theological training equips him to serve believers across denominational lines with both biblical depth and pastoral care.

Sessions and Fees

Our counselors have invested years in theological training and biblical counseling methodology. This fee reflects that preparation and ensures we can provide consistent, quality care.
