Deon Wynia

Therapist

Degree: MA

Certification: Licensed Mental Health Counselor

Areas of Specialization: Marriage, Sexual Abuse, Men's Issues, Depression, Anxiety, Grief, Addiction, Childhood Behavior and Emotional Problems. Deon also provides educational presentations to church, business, school and civic organizations. Counseling is available for adults, children, adolescents and couples.

View of Therapy: The counseling I provide especially deals with how the Christian faith guides, informs and effects the struggles life brings our way. I believe that our lives are filled with purpose and meaning, that life is more than just a series of random events. If our lives have purpose, then our trials have purpose. And if our trials have purpose then they are not just things to get rid of; instead they somehow fit into a bigger story.

To better understand our struggles (our stories,) we need to consider: how we are created, the nature of the world in which we live, the struggles, pain and dissatisfaction we experience, our misguided attempts to deal with struggles, pain and dissatisfaction, the ultimate answer to our deepest desires, and the path of healing and restoration.

Our lives are being written by God for a purpose. My goal is to support people as they go through their trials, to help them better understand their purpose, and to assist them in living life with greater freedom, joy and faithfulness.

Teresa Dekkers

Therapist

Degree: MSW


Certification: Licensed Master of Social Work


Area of Specialization: Educated in individual, family, and marital therapy, grief, trauma, play therapy, CBT, Solution-focused, and MI therapy.


Location: Orange City, IA


View of Therapy: Life gives many opportunities to examine and evaluate our lives, to consider opportunities and priorities, and to determine what steps to take. We all experience loss, hurt, and disappointment. I see therapy as an opportunity to walk together in recognizing our story, our past, and to determine what steps to take and how best to meet needs through a wholistic approach.



Relationships are a basic and important need for all. God designed the human body to need connection and therapy is an opportunity to not only address that need but also to develop healthy ways to cope and face the trials in this world. I am honored and grateful to be a part of the journey.

View of Therapy: My goal is to provide patient-centered care, focusing on the client as a whole. I believe medication is just one arm of treatment and it is best used in conjunction with therapy. I strive for a collaborative relationship with my clients listening to what is most important in their lives, their expectations, and their goals. I look forward to developing meaningful client-provider relationships and guiding you through your journey.

Dale Ellens

Church Relations Coordinator
Degrees: M. Div., M.S.

Purpose: At Bethesda Christian Counselling, we have always sought to come along side pastors and churches to provide an adjunct healing ministry that aids in the further enhancement of grace-based marriages, families, congregations and lives as we, together, advance the Kingdom of God. In keeping with this purpose my work involves regular visits to pastors and church leaders. Bethesda seeks to remain relevant to the needs of pastors and churches as we provide services related to mental health counselling, marriage and family counselling, pastoral education and church health ministries. My role is to listen to what pastors and church leaders are saying concerning their most significant challenges. I share these themes with the staff at Bethesda so that we can always adjust and enhance our services and delivery model in a way this is most advantageous to churches. My purpose is, also, to educate pastors and church leaders on the wide range of services offered to them by Bethesda. As one who has, myself, served as pastor of a church, I understand and appreciate the significant demands faced by pastors, full time ministry staffs, and church leaders. I, also, meet with deacon boards of supporting churches to educate them on the reason Bethesda seeks their annual benevolent financial support. As an ordained minister in the Christian Reformed Church, I am available to Christian churches of any denomination, located within our service delivery area, to provide regular Sunday preaching and pulpit supply.
