OakRings Christian Counseling

OakRings Christian Counseling With over 18yrs of of experience, joining with others to help navigate life is still our passion. Nathan is happily married to his wife Karalee of 18 years.

Our mission is to facilitate hope and healing through Christian Counseling. We believe that we were created to receive healing through relationship and ultimately through the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit. We work using sound Biblical principles, some of which are best realized through professional counseling practices. They have been blessed with 4 kids ranging from 17years old down to 7yrs old. They currently reside out in the country near Atlanta MO where they enjoy outdoor activities, coaching/playing sports and generally spending time together as a family. Karalee has a BA in Human Services and has put her education to use as a home educator to their 4 children. Nathan and his family are very involved in their local church where Nathan currently serves as the Director of Family Ministry. Nathan is also the co-founder of Mary's Mission a non-for profit organization that seeks to fund & provide counseling for those in need of financial assistance for the counseling service. Nathan did his undergraduate work at the University of Missouri-Kansas City earning a BA in Psychology. In 2006, Nathan completed his graduate work and received his Master of Arts in Counseling from MidAmerica Nazarene University. From there Nathan, Karalee and family moved to Springfield, MO where Nathan completed the required hours to become a fully Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) for the state of MO. Nathan specializes in working with couples (married and pre-married) with varying degrees of need. Keep in mind that you don't have to be on the way to divorce court to seek counseling! We all have room for improvement in our marriages, many times counseling can be a huge help for those that simply need to reconnect and/or learn new skills to better communicate. Nathan also meets with individuals and has helped many dealing with complex anxiety issues, depression, spiritual issues, relationship struggles, parenting, and some addiction issues. The best way to know if Nathan can help you is to send him an email or message with your contact information where he can give you a ring to discuss options.

We as parents want the best for our kids. We spend lots of money getting them involved in many great things that enhances their development. We drive lots of miles…all good! Great connections can be fostered both between us and our kids and their peers.

I would like to offer a gentle reminder today that the old adage is still true, “most lessons are caught, not taught.” We can’t live worn out, frazzled, joyless, anxious lives and expect our kids to be at peace. Whether we like it or not, our kids are very in tune with our emotional state. I’m not writing this to pile on guilt, I’m writing this to give you permission to take care of yourself. Find some margin in your life, grow your peace, feed your soul, increase your joy - it may just be the best thing you can do for your kids.

I’ve been reminded of the truth over the last few weeks that I think is important to share. When a spouse in a marriage is having a struggle it’s their struggle. It’s not his problem or her problem, it’s their problem. This is the superpower of having Christ at the center of your marriage. If each couple is submitting to Christ then both are acting in good faith and not trying to negate personal responsibility. We can have an eternal perspective, understanding that we absolutely have an enemy, but our spouse is not it. This frees us from the competitive nature of keeping score, instead we stand shoulder to shoulder, we are quick to lend a helping hand, to encourage and build each other up.
