Norman Elrod

Holistic Approach

I am a Provisional Licensed Professional Counselor (license #PLC7938), and under the supervision of Kelli Blue Hill, M.A., LPC-S, (license #4703). I received a Masters in Counseling with a specialization in Marriage and Family from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. I’m trained to work with individuals, as well as families. I approach counseling from an integrationist standpoint, and I strive to attend to all aspects of a person’s experience, physical, social, emotional and spiritual.

My Approach & Philosphy

I view counseling as a collaborative relationship between two human beings. In the therapy process I have an eclectic style and will draw upon therapy models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Brief Solution Focused, Emotion Focused Therapy and Structural/Strategic Family Therapy. Each client is different and receives treatment tailored to achieve their goals. Though I am a Christian, I will gladly work within the value system of my client. I am EMDR trained.

My Passion

I chose this work because I am passionate about seeing human beings become whole and live in harmony with God, themselves and other people. I am also the pastor of a church that is passionate about seeing human beings become whole and live in harmony with God, themselves and other people.

I love to hunt, fish, garden, and basically spend my free time outside with my wife and our dog. I’ve also been known to cook the odd meal and read a book or two.
