MA LMHC

Josh Loy

Hi, I’m a counselor and also the Owner & Manager of New Ground Counseling. Since 2014, we have seen hundreds of clients! We’ve also found (and trained) some great counselors who believe in our unique mission to give 1) High Quality Clinical Care that is 2) uniquely Christian.

EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE

I received my Master of Arts in Counseling from Western Seminary in Portland.  Before this, I received undergraduate degrees in Youth Ministry and Bible from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. My training is focused on theology, the Bible, and counseling.  I am a licensed counselor with a LMHC license.

I’ve had the joy of counseling in many settings, including a therapeutic high school (for 8 years), non-profits, and ministries. Over the past 10 years, I’ve supervised and trained many counselors who see their faith as critical & inseparable from their counseling. I also serve on staff at Reach Church (https://reachchurch.cc), which is a wonderful group of imperfect people in Kirkland, WA.

AREAS OF FOCUS

As a counselor, I began with teens and young adults, but now primarily see adults and married couples.  Areas I have focused on are infidelity; marriage counseling; pornography and sexual addictions; anger; substance addictions; and anxiety.  If you're unsure if I can help, just message us!

ABOUT ME

I’m husband to an even better counselor (Kindal) & father to four beautiful kids. When I’m not hanging with my children, I enjoy reading, exercising, and watching college football.  My family moved to the Northwest some time ago to join a local church, where we’ve made memories with wonderful people for over 15 years.
