Hello, nice to meet you!
I'm Janet
I was born and raised in MN, a farm girl, the oldest of 11 children. I was saved when 17 years old but without the support of a Bible believing church, I wandered in the wilderness of the world for many years. God gently guided me through many trials and eventually began restoration after meeting and marrying my husband, Keith Queen. We have four grown children and three grandchildren. Keith and I live in rural Iowa. I am an active member at Marion Avenue Baptist Church and enjoy gardening when not serving at MABC. I earned a Master of Social Work degree from the University of St. Thomas and have over three decades of behavioral health experience in a variety of practice settings. I am certified as Spiritual Counselor through Harvest Baptist Bible College.
What we offer:
Individual, marriage, and family counseling for any age group with an experienced, trained, counselor to those with a wide variety of needs

Being a Christian does not guarantee a lower risk of depression or other types of emotional issues. According to an article in the January 2021 edition of Psychiatric Resource, over 7 million Christians in the US experience major depression each year. And that number is likely low.
