Faith-Centered, Evidence-Based Counseling

At Leathers Christian Counseling in Springfield, MO, we believe that the most effective care integrates both spiritual truth and professional expertise.

This blend allows us to address emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs in a holistic way, helping clients experience peace, healing, and lasting transformation. Unlike general counseling practices, our Christian counseling is built on the foundation of faith, ensuring that your values and beliefs are honored at every step.
