Healing doesn't start when advice is given. It starts when truth is spoken with compassion.
Seven licensed counselors and a supervised intern, in practice since 2016.
Genesis is a team of licensed Christian counselors in Lee's Summit who see marriages in trouble, teenagers who have gone quiet, and adults carrying anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma.
It's faith based counseling in Lee's Summit, in person or on video anywhere in Missouri, and into Kansas with two of our counselors.
Every counselor here is licensed and trauma informed. Every one practices Christ centered counseling in Lee's Summit, with Scripture and clinical skill held in the same conversation.

The line is faith based therapy in Lee's Summit: a licensed counselor walks it with you, and the Bible sets the direction.
Most people drive straight to the office, or in from Independence, Blue Springs, or over the state line from Kansas. Everyone else opens a laptop, since telehealth reaches any town in Missouri. Jon and Jamie Cooke are also licensed in Kansas, so if you would rather not make the drive, ask Naomi whether one of them has room.
Our practice is built on all three. None of them waits for the others.
Sometimes the kindest thing a counselor can do is tell you the truth you didn't want to hear. We work hard at both halves of that: honest enough to actually help you, and gentle enough that you can take it in.
You'll be treated gently here, but you won't be flattered.
You're all three at once. Anxiety shows up in your body as much as your mind, and grief usually takes your sleep first, so your counselor pays attention to all of it, not just the part that talks.
Your homework might be prayer one week and a sleep schedule the next.
We hold the Bible as true, and we take the clinical training just as seriously. Both are in the room for the whole hour.
You never have to choose between your faith and real treatment.
