Positive comments highlight individual and marriage counseling services, noting the staff's punctuality, empathy, and integration of biblical principles into therapy. Recurring themes include the counselors' genuine care, confidentiality, and ability to help clients navigate personal struggles or relationship issues. However, two one-star reviews criticize the firm's approach to marriage counseling, alleging that the staff was biased, dismissive of one partner's perspective, and relied on religious judgment rather than neutral problem-solving.

This man is a narcissist in his flesh. I went and saw him as a counselor in 2023 and he tore my husband and me apart. He uses "counseling techniques" that are lies! I do thank him for helping me make eye contact better, but that is it. I have general anxiety disorder and OCD. I do believe God warned me not to see him and I didn't listen to the Holy Spirit which is on me. I wanted to call my psychiatrist the second appointment I had with him. If you want a professional counselor this is not it. Dave you know what you did to me, but refuse to take accountability. You think you are this amazing person when you are not. I will leave this review regardless of your response b/c you are a jerk and you hurt me when you are in a position of power and you took advantage of that. Your wife was so wrong when she referred me to you! Ann I hope you check yourself for future clients. It is clear to me that God is using you all. Dave we were a bad match, but the one thing you don't understand is I followed your instructions and because of that I lost my OCD training from a REAL professional that actually helped me. You can say you have two decades of helping people, but you are the worst counselor I have ever seen, since because you lied to me and called it "counseling techniques". I think you should think about which churches approve you and which don't. You can say you don't discuss on the internet then you should let me say how I really feel and my experience was. You do not understand from my perspective b/c you didn't allow me to speak. I would sincerely like peace from you. My last thought is if you don't speak to mental health issues then don't accept clients that have those issues, please leave that to the experts that speak to it! God wants to speak into that space for professionals that are trained and not just Google sponsored. Also it is true you can't due to HIPAA witch most people know is true. You may say what you did to me was Christ centered, but I do do not believe or trust that. Thankfully, God was able to help me process all the hurt you caused through a true Biblical Christian mentor. I doubt you will read this with a humble heart and expect your narcissism to glaze over everything. If you would simply apologize and ask for forgiveness, maybe I would consider taking this down so your blinded sycophants can leave you all the positivity you need to sell your latest book of "counseling techniques".

Ann and I care deeply about the people who seek our help, and we take concerns about our services seriously. To protect everyone’s privacy, I don’t discuss individual experiences in a public forum. Our website explains the Christ centered approach and scope of counseling we've offered for almost two decades, and anyone with a concern is welcome to contact my office directly.
Terrible counseling. I did marriage counseling with them. Instead of focusing on solutions and really hearing both sides they dogpiled on me said I was desperate and didn't seem to want to hear all of the work I was doing to try and save my marriage. I've never seen somebody hide behind religion like this. The second this guy said it was desperate for trying to save my marriage I just said what a complete joke.

I appreciate your feedback, but I take it with a grain of salt since you were never actually a client of mine.
I loved Kayla! She is so patient, kind, compassionate and helps you see the whole picture. She cares about her clients and confidentiality. She always makes time for me and I am forever greatful.

I'm so grateful to get to be part of your life Melissa! Thank you for trusting me to walk alongside you and search for biblical wisdom with you. Talk soon! - Kayla
Kayla is absolutely the single best therapist we have ever found. She backs everything biblically and is very educated. She is very one on one and she tries to understand everyone’s perspective. She really seems to care for each and every person uniquely. I would 100% recommend her for any situation and for anyone.

Brooke, thank you for your generous words! Your situation comes with unique challenges of its own, and I'm so proud of your willingness to continue working towards healing and growth. May the Lord continue to bless. your journey. - Kayla
Thank you Dr. Dave for your wisdom and your relationship with Christ that brings such life and hope into each session. I'm grateful that you've encouraged me to reflect on myself and bring all the brokenness and pain to Christ for healing and restoration. It truly has deepened my relationship with Jesus to trust Him in all things that He will finish the work that He started in me. He is a kind and good Father! May the Lord richly bless you and your family.

What a blessing to read your comments about the growth and life God is bringing you through our online sessions. He has a blessed future for you Rebecca, beyond what you've already experienced already. Your comments lead me to think of God's word in Joel 2:24-27 -- He is repaying you for the damage the "locusts" have caused in your life!
Dr. and Mrs. Ralston’s love and knowledge for Christ is ever so present and I appreciate their knowledge & expertise. I am so thankful for them and what my husband and I have been exposed to from their counsel. It is heavy but necessary; soooo grateful!

Thank you for your very kind words Shellie. Ann and I have come to care a great deal about you, Brad, and your entire family. You both have been a blessing to us.
Thank you for those subtle yet powerful words you've chosen. I pray that truth and grace are exactly what your session in our office have led you to. Blessings to you in this new year.
Kayla has been absolutely wonderful and has done a great job at putting things into perspective. She has been extremely empathetic, considerate, and compassionate. She is wise beyond her years and God is doing great works through her!

Ashley, thank you for your kind words! You inspire me with your commitment and humility in seeking God's will for you. It has been such a joy to see you grow in your faith, and I"m honored you brought me along! Love you, Kayla.
Dr. Dave helped me dig down to the root of some issues I was having. We had many great discussions, and may have more in the future if I ever need to call on him again. Solid biblically-based counseling for everyday Christian living. Highly recommended!

You're very kind Ryan. It has been really awesome to see how God brought more balance into your life and walk with Him.
I have been meeting with Dr. Dave for 2 years now and I couldn’t be more thankful for his guidance and support. I have grown emotionally and spiritually. Dave and Ann’s commitment to helping and guiding others in accordance to the Bible has been a true blessing in my life.
