If you have powerful knowledge, be powerful to be the heroe.

I met wonderful people, with wonderful souls. The knowledge I learned gave me the responsibility to be the hero for the most part in many situations. I don’t take lightly how Important is honor. Learned how important is to honor our Lord, our authorities in our Lives and the people we love. It takes courage to always take the higher road.

Highly recommend!

I have been seeing a counselor at Broken Chains International for a few months now. I am so glad that God led me here. My counselor is kind, understanding, and has already helped me tremendously. I look forward to my sessions. I know she cares about me and she points me to God’s truth in whatever we discuss. She prays with me and for me, and that means so much. The other staff members are so very courteous and welcoming. The office is comfortable, clean, and quiet. I highly recommend BCI and would encourage anyone who is hurting or struggling in some way to reach out and contact them for help.

Therapist can't handle trauma....

I was called on the *day of my appointment* and told that Elliot couldn't "handle" me and my past. Our previous appointment was a month prior so he could've figured that out ahead of time because I had already made arrangements to leave work early. He didn't even have the courtesy of calling me himself but instead he had the secretary call me, which should be a violation of HIPPA because he had to have told her that I had a rough past for her to say that in the phone call. I was livid. I was also CHARGED FOR THE APPOINTMENT that HE CANCELED.

Your staff is excellent

Your staff is excellent, my experience with Elliott and the Warrior Mentoring was first class. I am still in touch with a couple of guys from the class I was in 2 years ago. Rewarding class and experience, I would highly recommend to any other guy. I wish there were other class opportunities for connecting with Christian guys offered at this place.
Individual Counseling with Elliott, and with my wife to work on some relationship concerns. Elliott was caring and attentive to my and her needs.

I highly recommend

Allison is wonderful, very professional but warm. She has been extremely helpful in my management of OCD. For me, the fact that this is Christian based counseling is important and essential for healing. The price is also very reasonable.

Warm and welcoming

Reaching out for counseling help, guidance or coaching can be hard and a little scary, but everyone at Broken Chains International is warm and welcoming. Their goal and mission is to help others.
The counselors and staff at Broken Chains International are kind and caring professionals. I cannot speak highly enough of each of them!

I can’t thank the entire team at Broken…

I can’t thank the entire team at Broken Chains enough for their help during the most difficult and emotionally painful time in my life. Dr. Melissa Hubbard is amazing. I didn’t always want to hear her advice, but she helped me with what I so desperately needed to hear. She is the real deal, genuine, compassionate and no nonsense. I thank God for her and this ministry.

I think Kevin's heart was in the right place, but I would not recommend.

My husband and I were separated. I felt lead of the Lord to return home. I did. My husband went to Kevin and was in a really bad place emotionally. Kevin called me to try to talk me out of returning home. I've had a therapist since then tell me that this is bad therapist protocol to call the spouse of your client, especially when you have never met them. I do believe Kevin was just looking out for our best interest, but he was kind of pushy with me, a woman he had never met on the phone. He did eventually back off though. My husband did an intensive with him. I can say many years later, that it may have helped a little, but over all it did not. Kevin told my husband that he could sin all he wanted to, but he had to see that it wasn't working for him. This hyper grace message goes against the word of God in numerous places, especially Jude 1:4 "For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord." and 1 John 3:6 "No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. ... who resides in him does not sin; everyone who sins has neither seen him nor known him." When my husband and I started to see improvement in his behavior, we mentioned to Kevin in a joint session that we couldn't pinpoint when he started getting better. Kevin looked at his notes and said he noticed it too and read to us that it was when we cut off the cable and internet at our house. My husband is a recovering porn addict and we had done this at MY suggestion, because of Matthew 5:29-30 "If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell," I think the intensive did help a little, but it was not life changing. When my husband started going to a church that preached about Holiness and Sanctification, and when they started holding him accountable for his sinful behavior is when I started to see the biggest change in my husband. Biblical counselors need to give advice that is biblical. I would not recommend seeing Kevin if you are married to a porn addict or if your husband has anger or unrepentant sin issues. I think Kevin's heart was in the right place, but he was deceived about some of the biblical advice he gave us. Hopefully he has changed since then. We saw him in 2015/2016. Also, when we left, he asked us to leave him a five-star review. This really bothered me. He didn't ask for an honest review, he asked for a five-star review. I love Kevin and pray for him occasionally and don't mean this to be mean. I just want to be honest in an effort to save someone else some of the pain that seeing him caused me.

Broken Chains is a God send

Broken Chains is a God send! The staff are very professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Speaking with other brothers and sisters in Christ is refreshing to the mind and soul, as well as extremely helpful. They saved our marriage and our family!

Counselor did no due diligence to find…

Counselor did no due diligence to find out what the root of marriage problems were and simply made them worse by making incorrect assumptions and judgments. Even the best counselling probably couldnt have saved my marriage but the counselling made it much much worse.
