About Us
Sam and Kerri Moehlenpah are a Christian married couple who have unique life experience, personalities and gifts with a common goal: to work together helping families discover a brighter future in their relationships and to provide a practical therapeutic experience that produces lasting change.
Sam is gifted at connecting with people—words come easily, enabling people to feel comfortable. He loves the challenge of winning others over by lowering their defenses and allowing them to look inside to make their desired changes. Sam quickly identifies relational patterns and uses examples and illustrations to make a direct point softer.
Kerri is specific and meaningful with her words. She is keenly aware of the context of relationships, which allows her insights to be deeper. She sees the underlying dynamics of the situation and speaks directly to what needs to change in the relationship. Kerri loves bringing the most out of people and helping them unlock their God-given potential.
Together Sam and Kerri bring 13 years of combined counseling experience to Christian CotherapyTM. Active in Ministry as musicians and on the Pastoral Staff of their local church, they are both graduates of seminaries that stressed the integration of theology and psychology.
Statement of Faith: We believe in one God, the Father who created and sustains us, Jesus Christ, the Son, who redeems and rules us, the Holy Spirit who guides us personally through God’s inspired word, the Bible, which is our infallible guide of faith and conduct.
