OUR COUNSELORS

Dr. Biser Rangelov is the Pastor of Counseling and Care. Over the past 20 years, Dr. Rangelov has had the unique opportunity and privilege to counsel believers in Europe, Asia and North America of all ages, nationalities, races and cultures. He has found that—although human suffering has many faces—all people have common needs and desires. They all want health and wellness, and desire to be successful in what they do. They all strive for healing and growth. He strongly believes that everyone has the potential to overcome interpersonal struggles, relational difficulties, and life crises with appropriate guidance and care. Throughout his training in Christian Counseling (MA), Marriage and Family Counseling (MA), and Psychology and Counseling (Ph.D.), Dr. Rangelov has learned the importance of helping people to, first, regain hope in Christ and then discover their inner strength as well as their outer support to achieve emotional and spiritual health. He strives to tailor his therapeutic approach to the needs of his clients in order to help them find short-term relief and long-term solutions as well as grow in their dependence and faith in Jesus.

Have you been wondering where your hope has gone to? Life can be turned upside down in a matter of moments and you look in the mirror and don't know who you are anymore. You are broken and that is okay. I want to help you to see that broken is okay and you will not feel shattered forever. I believe a shift in your thought pattern has to take place in order for change to happen. I join empathy and understanding with Cognitive Behavioral therapy to help you on that journey. My personal experience as a fellow loss mom, daughter, sibling, relative and friend has allowed me to understand a side of grief that is difficult for others to see. My experience with helping people with anxiety, depression, organizational skills, behavior issues, life transitions and codependency issues can help you to know the person in the mirror again. You are so brave to recognize you need to seek counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate working with adolescents, teens and adults, both in person and virtually under the supervision of Dr. Biser Rangelov, PHD, LPC-S located at the Northwood Counseling Center in Keller, TX.
