Intensive Therapist

Verlette Berndt received her Bachelor of Arts from Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri and a Master of Arts in Counseling from the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri. Prior to specializing in counseling, Verlette was a licensed minister with the Assemblies of God for a decade and was active in church leadership.

Since 1995, she has been counseling couples, families, individuals and groups.
