OakRings Christian Counseling

With over 18yrs of of experience, joining with others to help navigate life is still our passion. Nathan is happily married to his wife Karalee of 18 years.

Our mission is to facilitate hope and healing through Christian Counseling. We believe that we were created to receive healing through relationship and ultimately through the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit. We work using sound Biblical principles, some of which are best realized through professional counseling practices. They have been blessed with 4 kids ranging from 17years old down to 7yrs old. They currently reside out in the country near Atlanta MO where they enjoy outdoor activities, coaching/playing sports and generally spending time together as a family. Karalee has a BA in Human Services and has put her education to use as a home educator to their 4 children. Nathan and his family are very involved in their local church where Nathan currently serves as the Director of Family Ministry. Nathan is also the co-founder of Mary's Mission a non-for profit organization that seeks to fund & provide counseling for those in need of financial assistance for the counseling service. Nathan did his undergraduate work at the University of Missouri-Kansas City earning a BA in Psychology. In 2006, Nathan completed his graduate work and received his Master of Arts in Counseling from MidAmerica Nazarene University. From there Nathan, Karalee and family moved to Springfield, MO where Nathan completed the required hours to become a fully Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) for the state of MO. Nathan specializes in working with couples (married and pre-married) with varying degrees of need. Keep in mind that you don't have to be on the way to divorce court to seek counseling! We all have room for improvement in our marriages, many times counseling can be a huge help for those that simply need to reconnect and/or learn new skills to better communicate. Nathan also meets with individuals and has helped many dealing with complex anxiety issues, depression, spiritual issues, relationship struggles, parenting, and some addiction issues. The best way to know if Nathan can help you is to send him an email or message with your contact information where he can give you a ring to discuss options.

Gratefulness tends to give us perspective, perspective is necessary if we are going to live content and meaningful lives.

“Lord, thank you. Thank you for who You are, what you’ve done - your proven faithfulness that gives hope for the present and the future. Thank you for family, for friends, for my community, for the true blessing of relationship. Help me serve others as I serve You this day - Amen.”

How good are you at repairing? Gottman describes a repair attempt as “any statement or action — silly or otherwise — that prevents negativity from escalating out of control.” Repairing isn’t to insinuate something is completely broken, it’s more about getting things back on track. The ability to repair is one of the most important skills we can learn in relationships. The happiest couples repair early and often. Remember, if either person’s goal is simply to win, we both lose. Pride can really derail us here and blind us from the bigger picture.

The couples I see doing this best are the couples that have created a safe relational environment to be vulnerable with one another.

Think of the last time you and your spouse got back on track successfully, how did it happen?

Do you both seek to repair or does it always fall on one of you make the 1st move?

Now if you’d like to engage and help others here, what are some ways you and your spouse have learned to repair?

If you’re married, you can feel it. You are under attack. What better way to do harm to a family, a society than to destroy a marriage? It doesn’t start with the big things, it’s the little things left undone. It’s a slow fade. Talk to your spouse this weekend, share a few things you appreciate about them and ask them for one thing you could do to help them feel more connected to you.

“Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭12‬ ‭
