Dustin Bingham, MA, MA
Pastoral Counseling
Dustin offers a unique perspective for counseling. He has dedicated his life, education and ministry to studying the ultimate solution Source—the Bible. His Bachelors (Liberty University) prepared him for ministry in the local church. The local church was hurting (silently) so his Masters in Counseling equipped Dustin to help the hurting using solution-focused, CBT, DBT, marriage and family therapy and other counseling modalities that complement the word of God. This integrated approach allowed Dustin to provide holistic care from a wholistic (body, soul, spirit) perspective. God has granted Dustin the privilege of walking along-side those who have struggled with depression, anxiety, spiritual identify theft, grief and loss, emotional wounding, marital brokenness and trauma, to name a few.
It was these experiences that revealed the prevalence of addiction (you are not alone!) and the pervasive impact of grief (there is hope!). Stepping into an opportunity as a drug and alcohol counselor revealed the compounding effect of addiction and grief, allowing him to utilize his certification in Dialectical Behavior therapy to help his clients (and their loved ones) achieve success.
Each step of his journey has been marked with experience, not the clinical licensed kind, but the everyday, human life experience kind. Dustin also has extensive experience as a Hospice Chaplain, supporting the bereavement needs of individuals and families with end of life care.
Life is hard. It’s rare to find someone who has been there, but Dustin’s integrated approach to counseling offers a step-by-step, path toward hope. And sometimes it’s easier to walk with someone who’s already seen the map.
Dustin offers a holistic counseling approach full of grace (and truth) and wrapped in total acceptance. “As a sinner myself, I have witnessed firsthand God’s grace in my own life. Because of this, I find myself moonlighting as a counselor to help others find the same freedom in Christ that I found through an intimate relationship with the One who knows us fully and entirely…Jesus Christ!”
Mission Statement
Let’s partner with the Holy Spirit to see God’s children come fully alive in Christ—set free from life’s entanglements, grow into mature believers who love the life God has called them to.
Vision for Impact
Dustin is a born-again Christian counselor who (with the assistance of the Great Counselor) helps people recognize and outgrow out of their childhood problem behaviors as they mature spiritually in Christ.
My Motto
“My spiritual giftings from God and love for sharing hope through counseling. Clinical experience produces clinical answers. Spiritual insight speaks to the core.”
Professional Background
There are three great “neglects” in life: spiritual, mental and eternal health. A Masters degree in Pastoral Counseling a decade ago ignited the opportunity for Dustin to counsel in the church setting, followed by behavioral health counseling in drug and alcohol setting, and his current role as a Chaplain counseling through end-of-life care. Dustin has counseled adult individuals and married couples who have struggled with a myriad of behavioral and counseling needs—wounds, sins, addictions, and diagnoses—from both the mental health perspective and the Biblical perspective.
