Our Vision & Commitment

Rev.Dr. Anthony D. Allen

M.Div., BCC-MH

Founder of Christ and Counseling

Hello, I'm a seasoned veteran with almost 30 years of Christian counseling. I served in the Army Reserves and Active Duty Army for 27 years. I retired as an Army Chaplain. I am a Mental Health Chaplain Clinician with a Ph.D. in Counseling and Psychological Studies, specializing in human service counseling. My educational background includes a Master of Divinity degree and a Bachelor of Science in Business Management. As a lifelong member of the Church of God in Christ, I am deeply committed to spiritual and mental well-being.

I am board-certified by the National Association of Veterans Affairs Chaplains (NAVAC) as a Mental Health Specialized chaplain and am affiliated with the American Association of Christian Counselors. Additionally, I have completed the Mental Health Integration for Chaplain Services program. My professional journey spans various sectors, including the military, corporate America, state government, the federal criminal system, and the Veteran Affairs Healthcare system. Through these experiences, I've had the privilege of offering spiritual care to individuals from diverse backgrounds, including veterans, the incarcerated, hospitalized patients, and those grappling with significant mental distress.

Rev. Dr. Anthony D. Allen, Founder/CEO, Christ and Counseling 2 Consulting, LLC With profound humility and respect, I submit my latest work: I S.H.I.N.E., A trilogy of biblical wisdom integrated with evidence-based mental health strategies.

Faith and mental health were never meant to be separate. I S.H.I.N.E. is a groundbreaking work that unites biblical wisdom with evidence-based mental health practices, guiding readers toward healing, wholeness, and renewed purpose in Christ.

Through the S.H.I.N.E. framework-Spiritual Growth, Holistic Care, Intentional Community, Nurturing Others, and Emotional Resilience-Rev. Dr. Anthony D. Allen, M.Div., BCC-MH helps readers and leaders bridge the gap between ministry and mental health, using Scripture, science, and cultural understanding to illuminate the path to transformation.

Drawing on models such as Post-Traumatic Slavery Syndrome (PTSS) and Intergenerational Trauma Theory (ITT), and through the biblical lens of King David's life, Dr. Allen reveals how trauma, faith, and identity intersect-and how God's Word provides the foundation for lasting healing.
