About Me
Derrick Boger, MA, LPCA, NCC
Christian Counseling for Adults
Hey, I’m Derrick! My passion for helping others has been the driving force throughout my life. I’m dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey towards healing and growth.
Welcome
My Journey
My life has always been about serving others. With my military background and firefighter/EMT experience, I've seen and supported a range of challenges. Life can be tough, but it’s much easier when you have support. This calling is what led me to where I am today—offering Christian counsel to those who are brave enough to receive it.
Clinical Philosophy
As a therapist, I’m guided by three core philosophies:
Everyone Deserves a Safe Space
Everyone deserves a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where they can freely explore their thoughts and feelings. My role is to provide a safe space for you.
Faith is a Source of Strength
I believe that faith can be a powerful resource in overcoming life’s challenges. While I incorporate faith-based principles into my practice, I respect each individual’s spiritual journey.
Healing is Holistic
True healing involves the mind, body, and spirit. Each of these elements plays a vital role in your well-being, and I strive to integrate them into our session.
My Professional Background
I offer a unique mix of experience and education in my private practice. As a honored veteran, decorated firefighter, and ministry leader, I understand the stresses and traumas that many people face. My master’s degree provided me with clinical skills, but it’s God who taught me compassion. Beyond my counseling work, I am actively involved in my church, leading a thriving Men’s Ministry, and have guided over 200 couples in marriage ministry.
In my free time, I love spending time with my wife, laughing with our kids, serving in our church, and playing any sport with a ball!
