Adam Hoover
Licensed Professional Counselor, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
About
At Growth Counseling, our mission is to bring together the timeless truths of the Bible and the proven tools of therapy to help individuals, couples, and families live more full and abundant lives in Christ.
We provide individual counseling, marriage counseling, teen counseling, and premarital counseling, walking with clients through challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and pornography addiction.
Alongside practical faith-based guidance, we integrate evidence-based clinical practices—including EMDR (Trauma-informed), Flash Technique, CBT, and the Neuro-Sequential Model (Brain based)—all viewed through the lens of a biblical worldview. Our goal is to help you grow in healing, hope, and in deeper connection to Christ and to those you love.
