Eugene Van Dusseldorp, Ph.D.

It is unavoidable that your therapist's character, values, world view, and training will have some impact on your recovery. You have a choice of the person who will influence your growth during this time in your life.

Eugene Van Dusseldorp, Ph.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in Metro Denver and Colorado Springs. He is also an ordained minister in the Reformed Church in America. His approach to therapy incorporates a Christian world-view that accepts every individual and relationship as special and unique.

The following is a brief statement of his world-view and understanding of the therapy process:

I view life as a process of becoming. The created design is to become all that God intends for us to be. Included in that design is the concept of community where we are free to love and be loved by ourselves, those around us and our world, without fear.

As we do the job of becoming that person, things happen to prevent us from seeing our pure core. Layers of fear and pain build up around our core in a pattern similar to the layers of an onion. We experience disappointments, neglect, abuse, or frustrations and may lose sight of who we really are or were intended to be. When we look at ourselves, we see the outer layers of pain and fear instead of the pure core. We sometimes express ourselves through anger, depression, withdrawal or in other physical and emotional ways.

	My understanding of the therapy process is to use the tools of psychology within the context of a Christian understanding of who we are to break through the layers of hurt and fear.
	Religious experience and spiritual meaning are different for each person. Integrating psychology into the structure of Christianity demands respect for personal journeys.
	There are also many theories and tools within psychology. Integrating Christianity into those tools demands respecting those that are appropriate and using them to accomplish the goals of the individual.

Noëlle Kerr-Price, Psy.D

Dr. Noëlle Kerr-Price, licensed in the state of Colorado as a psychologist, received her Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from Fuller Graduate School of Psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary.  She holds an M.A. in Psychology from the same institution.  She received an M.A. in Christian Leadership from Fuller's School of Theology.  She is also an alumnus of Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona.

I believe in the healing power of the living God and in His desire for us to become the people we were created to be.  Further, I believe that people's lives are often a reflection of their desire to move toward wholeness. However, this may be expressed in misdirected or ineffective ways at times. 

Sometimes though, no matter how hard we try to change on our own, we can benefit from reaching out for support, encouragement, and guidance we desperately need.  Therapy can be a helpful means of putting the pieces together to reach personal goals in a safe, confidential, warm, and supportive environment.  The presence of the Holy Spirit, with the collaborative efforts of client and therapist, can bring about wondrous change and refreshment in life's journey.  What is stopping you?!

Debbie Earnshaw, MA

Debbie Earnshaw is a practicing psychotherapist in Colorado Springs. Debbie graduated from Regis University in May of 2004. Her internship with The Mercy Center in Colorado Springs and Parkview Family Counseling Center in Pueblo provided her with counseling experience in the areas of domestic violence, families, children’s issues, dream analysis, and a wide range of individual concerns.

Debbie views counseling as an opportunity to stand with people who have come to an impasse in some area of their life. Honoring each person’s ability to know what is best for their own life, Debbie is able to facilitate the consideration of options that will move them forward in a positive way.

Grounded in Christian understanding, Debbie believes that each person is given the gift of Life to live in any manner they choose. Sometimes our choices land us in a less than favorable place. During painful times, we are willing to examine the options, dig deep within our own beliefs, and wrestle with issues, which often lie unnoticed under the activity of our daily lives.

Debbie has a sensitive way of loving people who are in pain, as they face the everyday life patterns that are not serving them. Listening compassionately to understand what is not working, Debbie is equipped to help individuals, couples, or families redirect their energy to improve Life as they know it.

Mark R. Vanderlip, M.A., N.C.C.

Mark R. Vanderlip, M.A., N.C.C. received his Masters in Counseling degree from Denver Seminary with honors and is an alumnus of Indiana Wesleyan University.  He worked for seven years with parents, families, and struggling adolescents near Toronto and Indianapolis before providing counseling services in the Denver area since 2005.  Over the past several years he has focused on helping individuals, couples, families, and groups find healing from, and in, relationships.  Mark's life and professional experiences, education, and training allow him to passionately and competently promote and apply a holistic approach to well-being that includes the physical, spiritual, emotional, relational, and psychological.

He is also working with court ordered domestic violence perpetrators and their victims, is writing, and offers educational and training workshops and seminars.

"I  believe that God chooses to use people in relationships to do His healing and to fulfill His purpose for them.  He rejoices with us when we choose the freeing truth of genuinely intimate relationships with Jesus and with others.  He is sorrowful with us when we choose to hide ourselves from the healing truth of love for/from Him and for/from the people in our lives.

Suffering can also originate through the hurtful things that others have done to us.  Freedom and healing can occur when a foundation for trust and forgiveness is built with the help of safe and loving people in our lives.  I work to provide environments, through relationships, on which this type of foundation can grow and be a launching pad for a life worth living."

	Personal Healing/Growth Therapy
	Relationship Counseling
	Depression/Anxiety
	Grief/Loss
