Selena Eldridge
Selena Eldridge is a Christian Counselor Intern/Life Skills Coach who works with adolescents and adults of all ages, doing individual, marital, and family counseling. Selena specializes in addictions and other high risk behavior work; as well as, children/adolescent issues, including child abuse/trauma, cutting/self-mutilation, anger/stress management, abandonment and bonding issues, depression/anxiety, co-dependency, and panic attacks/phobias. Selena typically works with people who have been deeply wounded on emotional, spiritual, and physical levels. Through the power of God's healing grace Selena's capacity for empathy and her relationship skills serve as an excellent tool in God's hands.
Selena believes that at the root of all our physical and emotional wounds lies a spiritual need, because of this belief Selena's perspective (through obedience and the power of God) is always filtered through the Word of God and the person of Christ so that she may rely on God's wisdom and guidance. Selena believes that lives can be changed and that people may be released from bondage, and brought to liberty and freedom in Christ.
Selena's mission statement is represented best scripturally by Isaiah 61:1-4 where Isaiah speaks of anointing from the Lord, release from darkness for the prisoners through the "Good News" and the restoration powers of God. By sharing these biblical truths and spiritual principles and through the application of practical tools Selena looks forward to facilitating the transformation that God so desires for our lives.
Selena received her B.A. in psychology from Towson University. She spent over 20 years managing people as a business owner and operator. She holds certificates for foundational biblical and spiritual development. She is also a teacher and a public speaker. Selena has spent the last four years developing, teaching, mentoring, training, and providing discipleship for leaders of the church community.
She is skilled in small group dynamics and one-to-one counseling techniques. Through these endeavors her relational and communication skills have flourished and so has her desire to serve others. Her passion is to be submitted through obedience to the power of God's grace, that she would be a weapon in His hands for His kingdom and His glory.
