EP 143: How The Right Professional Counselor Can Help You: Johnny Sanders

Can a counselor help me in my situation? What are the qualifications to be a licensed professional counselor? What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist? My guest this week is Johnny Sanders, a Christian counselor, who answers these questions and more when seeking counsel. What should I look for when choosing a counselor, and what are the red flags? What if I don't like my counselor? Johnny is very good at explaining these topics in an easy going, pleasant manner. You will learn a lot along the way during this enjoyable conversation! Biography Johnny is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma and Texas.  He is the owner of the Christian Counseling practice, Truth & Grace Counseling.  Johnny is also a host of the podcast Faithfully Engaged.  Johnny interviews guests on Faithfully Engaged who are engaging in culture instead of living in anger and apathy. Truth & Grace Counseling (truthandgracecounseling.com) https://faithfullyengaged.com/ This is my podcast website.  The podcast is weekly on Monday mornings 7am CST.  I interview guests that are engaging in life and the conversation leads to actionable steps you can take to be more engaged in life.
