Getting to know Dr. Ingo Tophoven

Ingo Tophoven (Dr. T to his students) is an experienced licensed professional counselor, supervisor, and former professor of clinical counseling with over 35 years of Christian counseling work helping individuals, couples, and faith leaders navigate the complexities of mental health and well-being. With 15 years of experience as a missionary using his professional and pastoral skills, and 3 years as interim pastor, Ingo understands the unique challenges that arise at the intersection of faith, ministry, and mental health - from pastoral burnout to congregational grief, and the stigma that surrounds seeking help. Integrating evidence-based counseling approaches always include a trauma-informed lens and welcomes open conversations around faith disappointments and church hurt. Faith is not just a belief system—it is woven into identity, relationships, calling, and hope. Because of that, faith can be a place of deep healing, but it can also be a place of deep hurt. Ingo understands these dimensions and respects each client’s experiences and seeks healing wherever needed.
