Vickie McCarty, Ph.D.
Licensed Pastoral Christian Counselor
I live in Catlin Illinois along with my husband and two very active teenage boys. I have 3 adult children (all married) and 9 beautiful grandchildren.
I certainly know how hard life can get. My father was tragically killed when I was 15 months old so my brother and I grew up in a single-parent home. My mother did the very best she could, but it didn’t spare me from some hard life issues as I grew up and started a life of my own. I’ve suffered at the hand of abuse, divorce, single parenting struggles, financial hardships, and hurts too numerous to mention here. But I refused to let it destroy me! I refused to let it be a life sentence to the land of nowhere! And thanks be to God for never giving up on me!
My goal is not just to help people have a better life here on earth, but to help people have a right relationship with God. Over and over again we see the connection between spiritual health, emotional, mental and physical health. While spiritual health alone does not make every problem go away…spiritual health is critical to bringing emotional, mental and physical health.
Along with Counseling, I offer the Arno Profile Temperament Analysis Testing, which is a Professional Clinical Report to identify your own God-given Temperament Strengths and Weaknesses. An extremely valuable wealth of knowledge to have!
The Genesis Process Program is an outpatient treatment program that blends sound biblical principles, and an understanding of the neurochemistry of the brain, into an effective road map to help facilitate positive changes. It's a twenty-week process (meeting once a week) to focus on healing the wounds from family and relational issues that drive self-destructive or unhealthy behavior.
The program offers proven principles and tools for obtaining lasting personal and spiritual growth and change. If you have issues of any kind, addictions, anger, control, jealousy, unforgiveness, etc…you will benefit from The Genesis Process! You can join others in a group setting or contact me for a condensed one-on-one Genesis Process. I promise it will be worth the cost!
Feel free to call or message me if you have any questions.
(217) 651-4709
Remember, that first call is the most important one!
If you don’t feel better at the end of our first session -then it’s FREE!
God Bless!
