Luke Banner

M.Div., and MA of Counseling

 
 

Luke considers it an honor to work and journey with people who are experiencing the brokenness of life and are struggling, confused, processing, or just feeling stuck. He is passionate about coming alongside his clients to help them become more whole and true versions of themselves. 

He works with clients facing a range of issues including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, transitions, identity, those needing spiritual direction, and much more. He has a particular burden to assist anyone struggling relationally, especially in regards to marriage, families, friendships, and teams. Luke seeks to help clients experience change by helping them work through past harm, engage attachment wounds, get in touch with their longings, engage their emotions, develop communication skills, and much more. 

Luke also has extensive leadership experience as a lead pastor, church planter, assistant pastor, and youth minister as well as leadership roles outside the church. He understands the unique challenges and pressures that leaders must contend with and gladly provides leaders with a safe place to be known and process what they are experiencing. He has also had the great privilege to serve on mission trips spanning 4 continents, and loves supporting those who are in cross-cultural settings. 

When Luke is not engaging with clients, he is probably drinking coffee while reading, hiking with his family, smoking BBQ, riding his mountain bike, or training for a triathlon. Luke has been a lucky husband for 13 years, and is the father of three amazing kids.
