Directed Steps Counseling Center
WELCOME
Directed Steps Counseling Center exists to care for the whole person by guiding individuals and families toward healing, restored relationships, and lasting hope. Through thoughtful, intentional care, we believe meaningful growth happens one faithful step at a time.
Our approach to counseling is both grounded and holistic. We draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy, family systems, and spiritual care to support meaningful change from the inside out. Together, we work to build healthy boundaries, strengthen communication, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and rekindle hope when life feels heavy. We believe people are more than symptoms or stories—they are whole beings with minds, hearts, relationships, and purpose worth caring for. “May you be sound in body, mind, and spirit” isn’t just a sentiment here; it’s the direction we walk.
Our Services

Family Counseling
Families are meant to be a place of connection and support, yet even the strongest families can experience seasons of tension, transition, or disconnection. Family counseling is designed to address the mental, emotional, and relational challenges that impact the family as a whole—whether stemming from major life changes, ongoing conflict, or strained relationships.

Blended Family Counseling
Blended families are increasingly common, and with them come unique opportunities—and unique challenges. Issues such as role confusion, unclear boundaries, differing parenting styles, and loyalty conflicts can feel intensified as family members learn to live, love, and grow together.

Faith-Based Counseling
Spiritual growth is a vital part of the human experience. We are created as whole beings—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—made in the image of God. When faith is nurtured, it often becomes a source of true joy, wisdom, and peace, especially during life’s more difficult seasons.

Meet the Owner
Michael Cross, LPC, is the heart behind Directed Steps Counseling Center. With a strong academic foundation in psychology and counseling,—and real-life experience navigating blended families and divorce—Michael brings both clinical skill and genuine empathy into every session. He works with adults, adolescents, couples, and families, with a special passion for adolescent males and complex family systems.
Michael’s approach blends cognitive-behavioral therapy, family systems, and pastoral care to help clients build healthy boundaries, improve communication, challenge harmful thinking patterns, and rediscover hope. His vision is simple but powerful: care for the whole person and promote lasting relational health.
Beyond client care, Michael is equally committed to helping other therapists thrive. Directed Steps Counseling Center was created to be a place where clinicians can grow their private practices without walking the road alone—through collaboration, consultation, referrals, and a supportive professional community.
