Getting to know Steven Johnston

Steven Johnston, CPC LPCC-S, has been a clinical counselor for over twenty years, with special training in Pastoral Counseling, having earned his Master’s in Clinical Pastoral Counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary in 1988. His expertise includes treating victims of domestic violence, child sexual abuse, trauma, and marital counseling. Because Steve did not want to exclude religious commitment issues from the therapeutic setting, he chose to pursue his counseling degree from Ashland Seminary after graduating with a ministerial degree from the Foursquare Church of the Gospel’s Life Bible College East. He has continued to extend his clinical pastoral studies through membership and training in the American Association of Christian Counselors. To avoid excluding an aspect of life that has proven to be of central importance to nearly two-thirds of the U.S. population, Mr. Johnston has sought to integrate spiritual issues from a biblical point of view in a way compatible with biblical doctrine and pastoral counseling. This integration, as it applies to marital, family, and individual issues, has been found to promote inner healing as it supports the client’s own religious coping skills.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Because a clear distinction exists between spiritual–religious counseling and integrating spirituality–religion into the practice of counseling, the aim of Mr. Johnston’s integrating spirituality and religion into the practice of counseling is to support the client’s agenda rather than the counselor’s. Because ignoring a client’s spiritual and religious perspective is culturally insensitive and may also be unethical, Mr. Johnston’s approach has been supported by the research evidence, that both spirituality and religion can positively affect a person’s general wellness and can serve a key role in providing support as people face existential crises.
