About
My Mission as a Counselor
Reconnection, Reconciliation, and Restoration are all God’s initiative through Christ. Therefore, my role as your counselor is to be a guide as you Reconnect to God, self and others, Reconcile important relationships and experience Restoration from brokenness. It is always my mission to help people see themselves as God does– through a lens of grace and not through the lens of mistakes.
Reconnection
Reconnection simply means to return after being absent or connecting something that has been severed. Reconnection is learning to be curious and attentive to what you’re going through while developing compassion and a deeper understanding of self and relationships.
Reconciliation
Reconciliation is a way of renegotiating your relationship and coming to terms with a new way of functioning –whether you are leaving or staying in a relationship. However, reconciliation does not always mean restoration.
Restoration
Restoration is rebuilding a relationship to what it was originally intended to be. Restoration starts with honesty and authenticity and occurs when two people agree to come together and pursue a new way of moving forward in unity.
Michon McCorkle, MA, MBA, LMFT-S
I am Michon McCorkle, the owner of Family Matters Christian Counseling, located in Carmel, Indiana.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in both Indiana and North Carolina and a Diplomate in Pastoral Pyschotherapy. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Winston Salem State University, I’ve earned a Masters of Business Administration from Montreat College and a Masters of Arts Degree in Christian Counseling from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary. I spent several years in various roles working in Corporate and Investment Banking but was not fulfilled with the work I was doing. In 2011, I took a leap of faith and pursued my passion of becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist.
Most of my life I have felt compelled by God to minister to the needs of others by supporting, helping, encouraging, and empowering people to experience freedom, wholeness, and healing. I draw on both my past and present vocations to provide my clients with the tools and resources to overcome personal, professional or relational obstacles. My passion for Christian Counseling arises from personal experiences of healing and my conviction that with God we can do what seems impossible. Using my professional insight, I can offer you a partnership that will lead you to a deeper understanding of how thoughts, beliefs and behaviors influence your view of self, others and circumstances. This journey will help you discover the true, authentic “self” that God created you to be.
I have been married for over 20 years and have one amazing son. In my leisure time, I enjoy morning coffee on my porch, traveling, biking, long walks, reading, bible studies, and hosting family and friends.
