Dr. Dan West
CpastC (Certified Pastoral Counselor), Career Coach, Personal/Life Coach, Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Marriage and Premarital Counselor
About
My ministry as a Christian counselor/life coach is based on a calling that God placed on my heart many years ago. I began my professional career as a Minister of Worship and Youth many years ago, which dovetailed perfectly into my desire to be used of God. Surprisingly, after a while God had another plan for my life and transitioned me into dentistry. Despite loving dentistry it never was not my passion, despite being quite successful as a clinician, multi-site practice and corporate owner, and clinical professor at the University of Pennsylvania. However, dentistry opened many doors of ministry in the States and internationally as a mentor, prison chaplain, non-profit founder, and humanitarian mission leader/worker in a couple world areas. After 40 plus years in medicine, I retired and transitioned to my role as counselor and executive coach for men, Christian business leaders and pastors, after obtaining my Masters in Counseling/Life Coaching a few years prior.
My role in assisting people in this role is based on sound scripture and each session is prayerfully considered. I see myself as a conduit for the Spirit to use to help those in my care become all that God made them to be.
