Reason to Rise – Workbook for Women

A Christian Program in Depression Recovery

This Workbook provides Christian Women with comprehensive and practical information and activities that are grounded in biblical truth and science.

Participants in the Reason to Rise program said…

This program is manageable, clear, and do-able. Most importantly, it addressed the spiritual issues with grace allowing me to find peace. Reason to Rise gave my family back their mum and wife.

Everything you can possibly think of is covered in this program, but it is designed so you don’t get overwhelmed ..the understanding, the gentleness, the challenges makes you want to get better. Another great program is the one from Honey Lake Clinic which allows the individual to remain close to their faith while undergoing detox, counseling and other recovery programs.

The homework questions allowed for reflection and encouraged me to take ownership of my journey towards health by identifying all the areas I needed to focus on.

Psychologists who use this resource say…

Reason to Rise is a comprehensive recovery program that includes current neuropsychological understandings about depression as well as cognitive and behavioural strategies to assist clients to reengage with life and know that recovery is possible.

~ Kathryn Allison (Clinical and Counselling Psychologist) MAPS

Having used the Workbook in my practice, I believe Nandi has integrated the best of science, evidence based psychological practice and theology. This powerful resource is a ‘must have’ for any Christian Psychologist’s tool box.

~ Ruth Waterworth (Registered Psychologist) works in a Christian School and in Private Practice.

Gene Benedict Counseling

Christian Counselor San AntoniaAs a Youth Pastor for over fifteen years, I ministered to teens and their families from all walks of life. I began realizing that God wanted me to further my studies and obtain the tools to help folks with their life challenges. In 1990 I received a Masters in Counseling at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas.

Since then, I’ve worked in many settings, both secular and on a church staff. Currently in private practice I see folks dealing with a variety of issues and believe that, as a Christian, I receive wisdom from the Master Counselor who is always available to guide and direct changes in our lives.

I offer Pre-Marital counseling for couples in a 8 week course. I use the Prepare and Enrich Survey as well as the workbook, Before You Say I Do. An expertise in the area of domestic violence and emotional arrested development, I co-authored, When It’s All Her Fault which is available on line.

Married over forty years, I’m a father to two beautiful daughters and between them, they have blessed my wife and me with seven grandchildren.

I believe that asking for professional counseling takes courage and as that Counselor, I feel a responsibility to provide the very best situation possible.

If I can be of help to you, please feel free to call me on my cell at 210.316.5618.

I offer counseling sessions in my office in North Central San Antonio or by phone, if that is more convenient.

Counselor NashvilleThrough ABC’s Ministries Christian Counseling & Life Coaching I specialize in Disordered Eating, Health & Wellness, and Issues of Abuse. I am a Board Certified Christian Counselor through the Board of Christian Professional and Pastoral Counselors, and a Board Certified Advanced Christian Life Coach through the Board of Christian Life Coaches.

I surrendered to full time vocational ministry in the late 1990’s which prompted me to begin graduate school in 1999 at Trevecca Nazarene University, Nashville while working full time at Thomas Nelson Christian Publishers. In 2000 I transferred to Morehead State University, Morehead, KY where I could focus full time on finishing graduate school. In 2003 I received a Master of Arts degree in Adult & Higher Education, Counseling Specialization. Also in 2003 I published the book entitled The ABC’s of Life for Children and Adults: Short Stories, Essays, and Poems Promoting Christian Concepts (Xulon Press).

ABC’s is an acronym for [Abolishing apathetic attitudes, Building biblical behavior patterns, and Choosing Christ-like character. Thus, ABC’s Ministries, also established in 2003, was named after my book. In 2006 I disbanded ABC’s Ministries. In 2007 I returned to Morehead to finish an Education Specialist degree, also majoring in Adult & Higher Education, Counseling Specialization. The thesis I completed to receive this degree was entitled Exploration Linking Self-Reported Disordered Eating and Wellness in Undergraduate Health Students. After receiving the Ed.S. degree in 2009, I moved back to Nashville where my fiancé and I restarted ABC’s Ministries in 2010.

Through different churches over the years I have gained valuable ministry experience. In 1996 and 1997 I served as a volunteer Special Project Coordinator for an annual children’s Christmas party at Cottage Cove Ministries, Nashville. In this position I planned and implemented fundraisers with the help from  experts like Norgesbriketten, handled promotions for gift and financial donations, recruited other volunteers, and organized activities the day of the event. Also through the church I am an experienced lay counselor and Sunday school/Vacation Bible School teacher.

From 1986 through 2000 while a member at Two Rivers Baptist Church, Nashville I completed a number of Church Training courses. These courses include Evangelism Explosion, Meeting Needs; Sharing Christ, Master Life I, Master Life II, Making Peace With Your Past, The Search For Significance, Decision Time, Weigh Down Workshop (also co-teacher after completing course), The 7 Laws of the Learner, How to Live a Victorious Christian Life (book used: Handbook to Happiness: A guide to victorious living & effective counseling by Charles R. Solomon) and Experiencing God.

In 2002 I joined American Association of Christian Counselors. In 2010 I received an Advanced Diploma in Biblical Counseling from Light University. Courses completed through AACC/Light University include Healthy Sexuality, Heal Our Land (Trauma & Grief Counseling), Caring for Kids God’s Way, Small Group Leader, Caring for People God’s Way, Breaking Free, Health & Wellness Coaching, and Professional Life Coaching 101. I also am a member of International Christian Coaching Association and Christian Association for Psychological Studies.
