A MESSAGE FROM DR. SOWLES

Greetings!

My adventures in serving others began as a camp counselor nearly four decades ago. I’ve found that integrating spiritual faith and emotional components alongside my training in neuropsychology allows me to understand the delicate mind-body balance and better serve the whole person. I’m energized by helping others find that balance and embrace the adventure of a fully invested life.

Marriage and ministry with my wife have helped further develop my counseling skills, allowing me to offer marital intensives to help others bring healing and new vitality to their marriages. Raising our four wonderful children has also provided invaluable relational growth throughout my life.

My interests include construction, hunting, fishing, politics, and theology. These have also been incredibly helpful in my growth to serve others well.

I look forward to joining you on your journey to healing!

A MESSAGE FROM ANDREW

Hello!

Thank you for the opportunity to get better acquainted with you.

Some of the approaches to counseling I utilize are Cognitive Behavioral Therapies, Family Systems, Groups, and Client-Centered Therapies, along with providing Marital and Pre-Marital Counseling. If you have spiritual values, I am more than happy to incorporate them into part of our work together.

While my interests include things like spending time with my wife and family, exploring theology, traveling, current events, and reading, nothing gets me more excited than Star Wars. I am an avid fan/supporter of the original and prequel trilogies and am always up for a good galaxy-themed chat!

BONNIE KISER

MS, LMFT

A MESSAGE FROM BONNIE

Greetings!

Can I tell you what energizes me? Helping people understand what is causing pain or discomfort and then helping them navigate the best methods to either eliminate, diminish, or cope with their symptoms.

The human body is designed to heal itself mentally and emotionally, just as it does when a wound physically regrows tissue and heals. Sometimes, wounds are minor and do not affect our day-to-day lives. At other times, a cast or surgery is necessary for healing. In the same way, interventions are sometimes necessary to heal emotional and mental wounds.

To tell you a little about myself, I was previously a teacher for 30 years, and that has been a key resource for me in working with children and teens and their schools and families. I hope to be a partner you can rely on moving forward!

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Masters Degree in Education
  • Masters Degree in Agency Counseling
  • Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Dave Kiningham

MA, LMHC, LCAC

My heartfelt desire is to assist people in feeling heard and understood as they process their concerns. My goal is to offer genuine compassion in my relationships with my clients as I assist others in developing greater understanding of how thinking affects both feelings and behavior. In working though this process, the origins of emotions can be both better understood and managed. As a committed Christian, I desire to assist those (who request it) with a Christian worldview to better think and act Biblically.

 

Licensed both as a Mental Health Counselor, and a Clinical Addictions Counselor, I have also worked in an inpatient psychiatric setting for 12 years. I have worked in private practice since 1999. With more than 30 years of experience in the mental health field, holding a Master of Arts in Education, I had a special focus in agency counseling from Indiana University.

 

I enjoy working with families, couples, and individuals who are going through relationship concerns, depression, anxiety, alcohol and other drug problems, various types of addictions, and other mental health issues.

     Janice King

          MA, MS, LMFT, LMHC

My name is Janice King, and I am excited to be part of the team at Cornerstone Vision Counseling after being in private practice for many years. My husband Stephen and I have three grown daughters, two son in laws, and three grandchildren. Our family is very important to us, and we value spending time together when we can.


To let you know a bit more about me: I love to cook and entertain. I enjoy God’s creation, and I am passionate about traveling-especially to experience other cultures. Even though it is sometimes difficult, I experience great satisfaction from implementing healthy life style choices. I was raised in an Evangelical Mennonite faith tradition, but step by step I have made my way to the Catholic church where we are celebrating experiencing God in a new way through the Eucharist (communion service).


Professionally, I have been encouraged by discovering and implementing more strategies to help people resolve childhood and adult traumas. I have been trained in “The Cortina Method” which is a brain-based healing methodology established through the neurosciences. The Cortina Method uses a protocol that relieves individuals from reexperiencing distressing emotions, like associated with PTSD. Sometimes ‘single type’ – a less complex - PTSD can be resolved in a two hour visit.
