Andrew Jerusik, MA, Licensed Professional Counselor

Andrew believes nearly all counseling-related issues stem from a breakdown in relationships – in a person’s marriage or in one’s relationship with their family of origin. We were created for relationships. We are aware of that design in our innermost being and all too familiar when that design does not work the way it should. When such realizations reach the surface of our hearts, pain is sure to follow.  Consequently, our pain tends to manifest itself in a variety of ways.

 

Andrew helps people work through their pain in different ways. His counseling practice includes working with men and adolescents struggling with sexual addiction, as well as helping couples work through difficult problems and emotions that often accompany a spouse’s marital infidelity. Related, Andrew works with married couples to help restore and improve communication and intimacy. Andrew is also available to help men develop anger management skills that can lead to fulfilling relationships with other people.

 

Andrew is a licensed professional counselor in the state of Colorado. All too familiar with experiencing relational pain and brokenness, Andrew has also experienced profound freedom in his life and marriage after surviving the throws of foster care as an adolescent and subsequent healing as an adult. Andrew seeks to convey to and comfort those who feel there is no hope. He is passionate about presenting truth to people and places in hearts where lies have resided for far too long.

 

Andrew holds an MA in Professional Counseling from Colorado Christian University. At the present time, he has a counseling private practice that focuses on healing and redeeming marriages, and restoring individuals ensnared in addictions, and is also a leader of spiritual formation groups. He has served as an adjunct professor at CCU and has spoken at various venues including churches and conferences, and conducting training seminars.
