Matthew A. LaPine
My research and writing explores the biblical and theological framework within which we can appreciate contributions of neuroscience and psychology. My goal is to help Christians understand the mental health challenges they face both from a theological and physiological perspective. I offer short term non-licensed transitional counseling for Christians looking for the next steps or consulting for pastors and churches seeking to help them.
