Dr. Musgrave is a Christian
Counselor who believes in a holistic model where mind, body, and spirit are all interconnected. He believes true health and healing come as all three are in balance with God at the center.
Dr. Musgrave

Do I have to be a Christian to see Dr. Musgrave?
No,
one doesn’t have to be a Christian to see Dr. Musgrave and he will not push his beliefs on anyone though he will be
available to discuss spiritual matters and explain his own philosophy of counseling.
What is Prayer Counseling?
Prayer counseling
is a type of brief psychoanalytical therapy and a process where God (the True Lord Jesus) is invited into the problem or issue
and asked to shed light on the problem and help bring health and healing.
What is Insight Oriented Counseling and Psychotherapy and Psychoanalytic/
Psychodynamic therapy?
Insight oriented
Counseling and Psychoanalytical/Psychodynamic therapy assumes that many of the problems (symptoms) a person is going through
stem from unconscious psychological conflicts such as unresolved and often repressed issues from childhood. These issues begin to make themselves known through dreams, nightmares, stress, anger, fear, and physical
symptoms such as headaches, and pain (fibromyalgia).
What is deprogramming?
Deprogramming
is not counseling but is a way of removing walls and structures in the mind (programs) from those who were and are victims
of ritual abuse.
What advantages will those taking part in the project receive?
Besides receiving
counseling for $25.00 a session (50 minute sessions) during the project term, those who continue counseling throughout the
project time will not have to pay more than their insurance will pay out (no out of pocket expenses). If they have no insurance they will be able to continue to receive counseling for the $25.00 per session
after Dr. Musgrave receives his state license and is able to bill insurance.
Note: The average rate for professional counseling (other
than rates for a psychiatrist or psychologist) is $90.00 an hour for a 50 minute session.
Also, during
Dr. Musgrave’s twelve month practicum/internship, there will be times when client sessions will need to be part of his
Practicum/Internship “direct-client” hours in which case the session is free.
Note: There may be times when Dr. Stewart will also be
in the session to observe Dr. Musgrave.
