Do any any these issues occur in your life?

• Conflict with family members make life difficult
• You have difficulties with raising your children.
• Your life is filled with feelings of stress.

If you could relate to any of those statements, there is help!

You’re not alone! I love to help people know and apply God's answers in his Word to these difficulties.  

You can have

• peace and agreement with family members
• confident parenting
• trust in God through your circumstances, and peace within yourself.

Michael Decious is a Biblical Counselor who works with Christians who struggle with conflict in family or other relationships, helping them go from stressed to blessed. 

Having counseled and taught for 20 years, Michael has a passion for helping people get to the heart of issues and be able to work together and find peace in their relationships, within themselves, and with God.  He has also helped individuals and families who struggle in areas including anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, abuse, purity, parenting, and marriage.

Besides counseling and teaching classes both in person and online, Michael has enjoyed preaching, training and launching lay counselors into ministry.

Michael has also worked in the behavioral health field with seriously mentally ill adults.  He enjoys helping families see mental illness from a biblical perspective and know how to love and help those with such a diagnosis. 

Michael has an M.Div. Counseling degree from Westminster Seminary in Philadelphia, and was trained by Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation in Philadelphia.

He met his wonderful wife at Geneva College. They now reside in Mesa, AZ, and have four adult children who are serving the Lord in various capacities.  Favorite past times include bowling strikes (okay, not that many strikes), having Catherine's amazing cooking, and enjoying God's awesome creation (as I'm reading a book).

Through Biblical Counseling, you can:

• Find peace and agreement with family members
• Become a confident parent
• Learn to trust God more, and have peace within yourself.
• Stop going it alone.
