Clark Echols, MDiv, MA, is a licensed professional counselor who graduated from Xavier University’s graduate program in Community Counseling in 2010. He retired from a 32 year career as an ordained pastor in the New Church, a denomination promoting a new Christianity based on the philosophy of Emanuel Swedenborg, an 18th century Christian philosopher, theologian and mystic whose radical notions of our spirituality, our relationship to God, and the nature of God as pure love, impacts Clark’s work by encouraging a heart and mind open to the goodness of the human soul, the possibility of healing of mental disease, and an acceptance of every faith tradition. Clark is ready to work with individuals and couples using mindfulness, cognitive therapies and spiritual development based on his professional training and life experience. He especially wants to be of service to men with anger, addiction and PTSD issues.
