Through my own marriage of 34 years and nearly just as many years counseling, I can show you the way. Give me a call for individual counseling, couples counseling, marriage counseling, marriage and family counseling, or speaking with a Christian marriage counselor. People seek counseling for all kinds of reasons, but communication and the inability to resolve conflict is the number one reason why people come to see me.
I have written extensively on the issue and developed a 6-step formula for resolving conflict and improving relationships. We call it PLEDGEtalk. Maybe you are thinking: I am not sure there is a whole lot wrong, but is this all there is? There's got to be more in life and in our marriage!. Research shows that couples who invest in pre-marital counseling go on to have stronger marriages.
Makes sense. When you invest in something, you take better care of it! Call Mark Oelze now to learn more about pre-marital counseling and set up your first appointment! Sign up for my blog on marriage and family HERE and get a FREE 6-step Guide to resolving conflict the natural and healthy way!.

I grew up in Chicago area and went to Grace College and Seminary in Northern Indiana, where I found my wife and earned an MA degree in Biblical Counseling.
I am blessed to be married to a wonderful woman named Zerrin (Turkish for: Golden Sunshine.)
She is a great delight who provides significant support to me.
Together we have three children who love life and God as we do.
We are very blessed by each one of them.
After Graduate School, my wife and I moved to McPherson, KS where we started a Christian Counseling Center.

Each of us are on a journey through life.
The Bible makes it clear that we have only so much time here on earth and that God's desire is to do a work in us much like a potter does with a piece of clay.
He prepares us, centers us on the wheel, shapes us, trims off the excess, and fires up the pot.
His goal is not only to make us into a beautiful piece of pottery but then to put us to use in His Kingdom and for the lives of others.
I compare the counseling process to that of an ongoing journey, whereby I come along side those I am working with to be a tool in the hand of the Master Potter.

My fee for counseling is $85.00 per one hour session.
I usually meet with people every week which averages about $340 a month OR for three weeks per month which comes to $255.00 per month.
For some - especially those who are willing to do whatever it takes to get the help they need - they are fine with that.
I understand some are truly in a situation where they could not afford that.
If you are in that situation, and still want to work with me, give me a call and during our first session we will go over your budget and determine an amount together that you can afford.

I am currently coaching couples and individuals online in the use of PLEDGEtalk, a process we have developed to deepen communication and process conflict.
In some cases, we simply use the phone, but with others, we use live audio/visual.
It is a wonderful way I can help people who are not able to meet in person because of the driving distance.
For some, it takes a bit getting use to, but very quickly most people like it quite well.
It even has some advantages such as not having to find baby sitters for the kids and leave the house again.

One that I think should be asked by everyone seeking counseling.
I have several suggestions.
If you were referred to me by someone you know, simply ask them why they recommended me.
Have they personally been helped by me in some way?
Read through our website, jot down any questions or concerns you might have that are not answered.
Give me a call!
Don't be afraid to ask any questions.
I believe you ought to feel free to interview me so to speak to develop your own opinion and sense as to whether or not it will be a good fit.
