Dr. Ronald Jenkins

Qualifications & Experience

I hold a Master of Science degree in Counseling from Texas A&M University, Commerce, TX, and a Master of Divinity, Master of Arts in Religious Education, and Doctor of Ministry, all from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, Texas. I have also completed Levels One and Two of the Gottman Method Couples Therapy Training, SYMBIS Premarital Counseling Training, and First Responder Training.

My Call to Christian Counseling

I served in pastoral ministry and provided pastoral counseling for over thirty years. I realized a primary strength was in counseling, so I went back and earned a Master’s Degree in Counseling and became a licensed counselor. Counseling is my passion because it allows me to help people work through the difficulties in their lives.

More About Me/On a Personal Note

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and family, reading, taking walks to observe nature, and exercising.

Anger Management

If you struggle to manage your anger, I would be happy to help. Together we will discuss when and why you feel your anger coming on, and the effects of those emotions. We can discuss past events in your life when anger played a role, and talk about the escalation and de-escalation scale as it relates to anger. I will help you learn how to use effective tools to de-escalate your anger so you can better manage your emotions when you start to feel angry.

Couples Counseling

If you and your partner are having challenges in your relationship, I would be happy to help. I will listen to your story to learn the reasons you have pursued counseling and the issues you are concerned with. I will talk with you and your partner together and also spend one session with each of you by yourselves in order to hear both stories individually. In our sessions together we will seek to identify the core problems and build upon solutions. Depending on your preferences, we may also use Scripture throughout treatment to bring strength into the relationship.

Individual Counseling

With over thirty years of pastoral counseling experience, I have helped individuals and couples work through a wide range of issues and concerns. No matter what you may be going through, it’s not beyond the scope of what God is able to heal and restore. My aim is to restore hope to those who are feeling worn down, disillusioned, distraught, and defeated. Using proven therapeutic techniques paired with an approach based on the God’s Word, I will gladly walk alongside you to help you realize and become the person God created you to be.

Infidelity and Affairs

Infidelity is a painful experience that can result in many mixed emotions from each person affected. If you and your spouse need support and guidance navigating the aftermath of an affair, I have experience helping numerous couples work through the process of healing, forgiving, rebuilding trust, and strengthening their marriage relationship. God is in the restoration business and He delights in making broken things whole and new.
