Gentle Shepherd Ministries (GSM) is a nonprofit 501 (c) 3 corporation dedicated to help people find freedom and healing from issues such as depression, anxiety, marital issues, or other life problems including trauma and ritual abuse through:

• Christian Counseling (including Prayer Counseling).
• Training and Education.

Christian Counseling Project.  The Christian Counseling Project is a project of GSM where Dr. Musgrave offers $50.00 counseling sessions (50 minute sessions) while he completes his State Supervision for licensing as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).  After Dr. Musgrave becomes a Licensed Professional Counselor those with insurance will be able to use their insurance and those who have no insurance will continue to be able to pay only $50 for counseling sessions.       

Christian Counseling.  Christian counseling is based on a holistic model for wellness and prevention.  The model relates to wholeness in mind, body, spirit, and community.  The characteristics of wellness are expressed through a balance of five life tasks: spirituality, self-regulation, work, love, and friendship with spirituality.  At the center of wholeness is spirituality (a belief in God and/or a personal belief and relationship with Jesus Christ). 

Christian Counseling is not simply a counselor being a Christian, but counseling where God is brought into the therapy process. 

Prayer Counseling.  Prayer Counseling uses prayer as therapy. Prayer Counseling allows the Lord Jesus Christ to take a person to the root and origin of the problem(s) they are experiencing.  This helps to bring freedom, healing and resolution.

Training and Education.  Dr. Musgrave offers a two or three day training on using what he calls "Prayer Counseling."  He also offers a demonstration of prayer counseling to church groups or to those interested in its effectiveness.

Deprogramming Ritual Abuse Survivors.  Deprogramming is not counseling and must be done for counseling to be effective.  Dr. Musgrave works with Ritual Abuse Survivors in the area and available for weekly sessions or on occassion will travel to another area for a 2-3 period to work with a survivor and his/her therapist.
