Christian Clinic for Counseling

Our Story

In 1982, nestled in the city of Oklahoma City, psychologist Dr. J. Ronald Cruse embarked on a visionary journey. Recognizing the profound need for a private Christian counseling service, Dr. Cruse pioneered the inception of Christian Clinic for Counseling. Uniting his faith with a deep commitment to mental health, he envisioned a sanctuary where individuals could find solace, healing, and restoration.

Driven by a conviction that mature, state-licensed Christian counselors are indispensable in addressing significant mental health challenges, Dr. Cruse anchored our clinic upon the timeless truths of the Bible. For over four decades, Scripture has remained the cornerstone of our practice, guiding our counsel and illuminating pathways to healing.

As stewards of both faith and professional knowledge, we uphold a dual commitment. While we cherish the wisdom of Scripture, we also recognize the value of academic rigor and contemporary therapeutic techniques. Our counselors, equipped with bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees, continuously refine their expertise through ongoing education, ensuring the highest standards of care.

At Christian Clinic for Counseling, we honor the diverse needs and preferences of each individual. Whether seeking explicit Christian guidance or secular counseling, every choice is respected, and every person is welcomed with open arms.

Throughout our journey, we have been blessed to serve thousands of individuals entrusted to our care. From doctors and insurance companies to ministers and government agencies, our reputation for excellence has resonated far and wide, earning us the privilege of being a trusted referral source in the community.

In 2018, embracing a new chapter in our story, Christian Clinic for Counseling transitioned into a non-profit entity under the auspices of Edmond's First Baptist Church. Led by Dr. Cruse as CEO, our clinic embarked on a renewed mission to serve both the church family and the broader Edmond community.

In June 2022, we embarked on a new chapter as we moved into a counseling building nestled behind Edmond's First Baptist Church. Here, amidst the serenity of our new surroundings, we continue our legacy of compassionate care and unwavering commitment to healing.

Today, as we stand on the threshold of tomorrow, our dedication remains steadfast. Guided by faith, enriched by knowledge, and fueled by compassion, Christian Clinic for Counseling is honored to walk alongside you on your journey to wholeness.

Welcome to Christian Clinic for Counseling, where our story is woven with a tapestry of faith, compassion, and professional expertise.
