Who we are

Luma Counseling was born after years of faithful care ministry at College Park Church sparked a desire to open the church’s Soul Care ministry to the broader community to provide biblically-based counseling for families near Indianapolis. In 2022, Tyler Riffe was hired to develop a Christ-centered counseling center, separate from the church but still deeply connected to its mission. Ryan Berg, alongside the Soul Care team, helped lay the foundation for what would become Luma Counseling, a ministry focused on providing biblical and clinically-informed care to those in need.

Christ-centered counseling near Indianapolis
Since its launch in August 2022, Luma Counseling has grown steadily, expanding its team of skilled counselors and administrative staff. With support from College Park Church and its leadership, Luma became an independent 501(c)(3) in 2023, continuing to serve the community through counseling services that offer Christ-centered, biblically-based, and culturally responsive care. Luma’s mission is to walk alongside those who are hurting, bringing the light of Christ to life’s challenges and offering timeless clarity for today’s struggles.

Luma Counseling exists at the intersection of four distinctives

Christ-centered

At the center of change is the Gospel, the message of the person and work of Jesus. We seek to point people not to a set of abstract principles but to a person, the crucified and risen Jesus.

Biblically Based

Our practice is grounded by Truth found in God’s Word. We aim to help people connect God’s wisdom in the Bible to the challenges and complexities of daily life in the 21st century.

Culturally Responsive

People are shaped profoundly by life experience, ethnicity, culture, and relationships. While we strive to grow in diversity, each of our counselors receives ongoing development to counsel in a way that honors cultural differences.

Clinically Informed

The solution to the issues we face are never simple. We recognize the complex connection between body and soul and we aim to be sensitive to the physical factors that impact people’s lives.

FAQs

What is Luma’s philosophy of care?
Luma Counseling's philosophy of care is best described through our four core values: Christ-centered, biblically based, clinically informed, and culturally responsive. These values frame how we think about counseling and the needs of everyone who receives our services. In applying these core values, we believe that every person has value and is uniquely complex in how they process the information and circumstances in their life. Our counselors are trained to be kind, gracious, and warm in their approach to help make you feel comfortable as you talk through your life's challenges.
What is Luma's scope of practice?
Luma is a biblically-based counseling ministry. We are not a medical mental health organization. As such, we do not accept insurance. We do not prescribe medication, nor can we tell you for certain whether medication could help you in your circumstance. In your first session, your intake counselor will help you evaluate what your needs are. If you realize that your care needs fall outside of Luma's scope of practice, we will refer you to another organization or to your primary care physician to discuss what other options are available to you.
Is Luma Counseling affiliated with a church?
Luma Counseling is not affiliated with any particular church, but we aim to maintain close relationships with churches that regularly send their congregants to Luma for additional and supplemental care. Churches can partner with Luma Counseling to provide affordable community counseling resources to their congregations.
How does Christian counseling work?
Christian counseling works by integrating biblical principles with proven counseling techniques to address emotional, relational, and spiritual challenges. A Luma counselor will help you explore your struggles through the lens of Scripture, offering guidance and practical tools rooted in God’s wisdom. This approach fosters healing, growth, and lasting transformation grounded in faith.
How are donations used?

Every tax-deductible donation we receive goes directly toward providing biblically based, clinically informed care to those who might otherwise go without.

Donor funds help address critical needs within our programs, such as subsidizing counseling for low-income clients, expanding community outreach programs, providing resources for workshops, and improving access to care through space and technology upgrades. These contributions directly enhance the quality and reach of our Christ-centered counseling services.

Do you provide scholarships or discounts based on financial need?

Yes, we seek to provide compassionate, biblically grounded counseling services to all individuals in need of care, regardless of their financial situation. If you are unable to afford Luma Counseling services, please submit a scholarship request form and reach out to our Care Coordinator to discuss setting up a scholarship to cover a portion of your care needs.

In 2024, we were blessed to provide counseling scholarships to 184 individuals thanks to the generosity of our donors. Our scholarships are funded by our strategic partners, like-minded followers of Jesus, and previous clients who want to help others receive the same great care they received.
