I do not support businesses where the “Biblical Counselor” has a son that was arrested for molesting a SEVEN year old child on Christmas and he continues to protect and support his son. This does not sound… Christ like or Biblical to me. I certainly would not support or recommend a business where the counselor giving out recommendations on how to better your life raised a monster who would ever do such a thing to a little CHILD. Shame on each and every one of you. As counselors I am sure you are WELL aware of how this will forever shape this young victim. He took her innocence

Whether you have conflict in your marriage, or personal struggles that you need to work through, I highly recommend you make the commitment to find a counselor. Sean Ruthrauff and New Leaf Counseling, were recommended to us by our church. My wife and I were going through a very difficult time in our marriage when we found Sean. We are incredibly… grateful for his ability to walk us through how to have a conversation when one or both of us are triggered with some type of emotion. He provided thought-provoking exercises for us to accomplish throughout the week. We feel like we were on a well

Sean Ruthrauff was instrumental in putting me on the path to my recovery from addiction. I can not thank him enough for his genuine concern. His passion for me as a person with tremendous needs and not just another patient helped me trust him at a time I was very vulnerable. Thank you Sean.

Sean Ruthrauff at New Leaf Counseling is an excellent counselor! My husband and I were in desperate need of wise Christian marital counseling and definitely found it with Sean. He is a down-to-earth, no… bones about it type of guy which is what we both needed. I would recommend counseling with Sean to everyone. You will not be disappointed.
