Some Background

Ingo is a professional counselor and supervisor (LPC-S in Virginia, LCMHC - North Carolina/South Carolina) and has been in counseling since 1993. Ingo holds a Ph.D. in in Counselor Education and Supervision (CACREP accredited). 

Ingo has three adult children: Lukas (29), Katharina (26) and Annika (23) and three grandchildren. Ingo is divorced but honors the past. 

Ingo pursues three objectives: 

  1. Provide confidential support services to pastors and missionaries and any Christian worker in the US and overseas. All services are confidential and free and/or donation-based. Donor contributions make sure that money is not an obstacle to have access to confidential conversations. 
  2. Equip pastors and missionaries globally with resources necessary to promote mental health progress for their own lives and families, congragations, and the communities they serve. While Christ is always the center of any gospel-centered church, knowing how to deal with trauma, depression, anxiety in a culturally appropriate context, is that teh heart of global mental health and developing systems to for churches to be part of healing and restoration through culturally appropriate mental health servces. 
  3. Help train a next generation of counselors that can competently navigate ministry-, mission-, and church contexts here and overseas through seminars, webinars, and official training programs. To that end, some funds go specifically into training and education for promising Christian counselors in underserved areas of the world.   

Ingo regularly speaks on the role of AI in Christian contexts. You can call Ingo to talk to your group. There is no cost. 

If you donate to this account, you will help directly sustain the work of Ingo on counseling, coaching, consulting, and building the projects mentioned above.  

Feel free to contact Ingo anytime. Start with an email, and then we go from there.
