Dr. Geerdes has been amazing to work with. I’m constantly taking notes through our sessions. I’m challenged for the future weeks to think and live more aware. He’s been an asset for my graduate school program, but also my own personal growth. It is not just the clinical piece I appreciate, but also the Christian. He brings both. You don’t find that a lot anymore

I am a 70 year male therapist who has practiced in both private and public settings. I have spent many years working on child abuse cases and giving court testimony. Additionally, I work with children as young as 2 years of age, adolescents, teenagers, couples, individuals and all groups of older ages. As you would expect, I have worked extensively with families and their children in a family therapy setting to help them function at a higher level. I am an ordained minster of 41 years, have held the position of head hospital chaplain at a local regional hospital and will do seminars on stress and family relationships when requested.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
