Pastoral Counselor

Dustin Bingham: MA, MA

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.

Life Coach & Inner Healing

Aimee holds a bachelor’s degree in child development from Purdue University, along with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family therapy from Indiana University. She is a Myers-Briggs personality practitioner, and a DISC conflict practitioner, as well as a Life Coach with training in inner healing. Aimee believes that if everyone pressed into a deeper level of healing, freely embracing who Jesus created them to be, the world would be a much better place.

Walking with courageous clients and holding space for them as they discover their voice on the journey towards healing is one of Aimee’s greatest passions. After coming out of a spiritually abusive organization, Aimee fought hard along her own healing journey. She found that clinging to Jesus, choosing forgiveness, and walking with others who have had similar trauma, along with other healing tools, facilitates the trek towards overcoming. Every healing journey looks differently as spiritual abuse victims do the difficult work of becoming survivors who transform into overcomers.

By providing a safe space for support, learning, and community in addition to facilitating conferences for those who have by affected by spiritual abuse, Aimee hopes to instill the truth that you are not alone. Part of healing is learning what healthy spirituality and community look like. Another part is discovering what is getting in the way of truly overcoming. Aimee would be honored to partner with you on your journey to overcoming.

Aimee and her husband of more than 22 years reside in Ohio with their three teenage children. She loves hiking, trying new cuisines, experiencing new cultures, and worshiping Jesus.

Pastoral Counselor

My name is Bernhard Streisselberger, and I am a native of Neuhofen/Ybbs, Austria. I graduated from the Sigmund Freud University of Vienna (Austria) with a Masters in Psychotherapy-Science in 2016. As a professional counselor, I specialized in Gestalt therapy and Trauma-Therapy (EMDR). In 2020, I moved to Steubenville, Ohio to further my studies. I graduated from Franciscan University with a Masters in Theology in 2023. I have been working with clients for more than 11 years, utilizing everything I learned through studying and personal experience.

Recently, I have immersed myself in the great works of Dr. Conrad Baars, as well as the Immanuel Approach of Dr. Karl Lehman. In these approaches, I have discovered a wealth of resources for exploring and expanding one’s deepest strengths. I love to offer accompaniment to help my clients grow and thrive in their human, emotional, and spiritual development.

Functional Nutrion Counselor

With a Bachelor of Science degree and certification as a Functional Nutrition Counselor from the Functional Nutrition Alliance, I bring a specialized focus on supporting clients with chronic disease management, gut health, and hormonal balance. My approach to health and wellness is rooted in understanding that while our bodies are designed to function optimally, various factors can disrupt this balance, leading to health challenges. I believe that by identifying each individual’s unique needs and addressing foundational imbalances, we can create a personalized path to wellness.

I offer a range of services, beginning with a complimentary discovery call to explore clients’ needs and goals. From there, clients can start with the Wellness Kick-start Package, which includes an in-depth History Intake Session, a Nutrition Session, and a Tool Kit with tools such as the Functional Nutrition Timeline, Matrix, and Action Form. For continued support, I provide ongoing 1-hour Continuing Wellness Sessions, available singly or in discounted packages.

In my sessions, clients can expect a collaborative, individualized approach focused on uncovering root causes rather than merely addressing symptoms. I use tracking tools to assess each client’s progress and adapt interventions to ensure we’re moving toward their goals. My role is to work in partnership with clients, crafting a customized plan that empowers them to achieve optimal wellness.

My journey into natural health began with my own experience managing Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. Traditional medical approaches didn’t provide the relief I needed, so I set out on a journey to understand and heal my body holistically. Through this, I learned that true wellness comes from caring for the whole self—body, mind, and spirit. Now, I am dedicated to helping others find their own paths to vibrant health.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and dog, staying active, reading, and unwinding with a good Netflix series. These interests keep me grounded and continually inspire my commitment to holistic health for myself and my family.
