Jayson is the founder and director of international counseling ministry Healing for the Soul and its sister non-profit The SoulHealer Foundation providing counseling and coaching…all over the telephone, including his first original idea: Teleconference Recovery Groups for men, for wives of addicts and for parents of same-gender strugglers in recovery worldwide. He currently serves as Secretary of Exodus International’s Board of Directors.

Jayson's Ministering Style

After being trained in Family Systems Theory, I take the approach of assessing the client's whole life - including present beliefs, behaviors, and circumstances as well as past history/trauma and family background.

I focus on listening, asking questions that invoke the client's own sense of direction, and giving direct feedback as they take steps to change direction.

Prayer during sessions is available and encouraged according to the client's preference.
