“Thank
you so much for the ministry of Life Counseling Center. God has
been working in our lives and our marriage is certainly improving.
We have made great progress in communication and understanding
one another’s personality.”

“Thank you is not enough to even begin to
share what a difference you have made in my life. May God truly
bless you and the ministry of Life Counseling Center as you teach
the lost how to find their way to God.”

“We wanted to say thank you so much for being
there and praying for us during a very difficult time in our lives.”

“You and the ministry of Life Counseling
Center has been a real asset in a time of great need.”

“Your ministry and your knowledge imparted
from God has helped me from the pits of despair. I will never forget
it.”

“As I was counting my blessings and giving
thanks to the Lord today, I included you and the ministry of LCC
as I often do…please know that your counseling Christian spirit
has a real positive affect in this community.”

“Thank you for sharing Jesus with me. Also
for helping me to make it through this last year safely.”

“My husband and I were one step away from
divorce when we came to Life Counseling Center. Without the wisdom,
prayer and loving support of Dr. Fred Antonelli and his wife Debbie,
we would not be married today. We have now celebrated our seventh
anniversary and the birth of our third child. Our family will always
be grateful to LCC and the Antonelli's.”

"I will never forgot when, where and how God met me near the waters of the
Chesapeake Bay. Truly, my time with Dr. Fred Antonelli, of Life
Counseling Center, was a Bethel encounter; an altar building experience
in my life. Many times as we walk through difficult places embracing
hard and heavy issues, building altars with the significant stones
in our lives, God will change us and set us free of the past so
we can embrace the future. That's what happened to me during an
IOP with Dr. Fred, the place became the "house of God" and the "gate
of heaven" because "Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did
not know it." (Gen. 28:16-17). The Lord significantly used the ministry
and counsel of Dr. Fred Antonelli to help me through a very difficult
and uncertain season of my life, a Bethel by the Bay that I highly
recommend."
“I've been a Pastor for many years, ministering
to others the Hope that we have in Christ Jesus. But, somewhere,
somehow, I lost my way of knowing who I was in Christ. Even though
I was ministering the message of "Christ in you, the Hope of Glory",
I was still unable to truly define who I was! Through time, circumstances
and difficult personal issues, I found myself experiencing an unexplainable
emptiness and loneness that was beginning to take root in my soul
and was trying to define who I was. Through friends, I met Dr. Fred
Antonelli. This became a critical and divine intervention, as the
IOP I entered into became a liberating experience that has set a
course of healing and a rediscovering of the truth of who I am in
Christ in a safe, healthy, clear, and progressive way! I cannot
express enough the quality and professional care I received from
Life Counseling Center's Pastoral IOP. It has without question helped
revive who I really am in Christ!”
“After falling into a grievous and
humiliating indiscretion, Dr. Fred Antonelli, through an IOP, was
able to help me pick up the pieces and rediscover the power of Grace
in my life. God used him as a launching pad for my marriage to be
restored as well as my sanity! Dr. Antonelli didn't merely address
me as a patient, but rather a brother in Christ. Through a clinical/Christian
approach I was brought to a place of wonderful healing & restoration!
I thank God for Life Counseling Center and their professional, yet
biblical approach to emotional healing. My depression was lifted,
my life was changed and my marriage restored through your IOP! Thank
you Dr. Antonelli and Life Counseling Center for being there!”
“Approximately ten years ago, I first found
myself in the offices of LCC at a time in my life where I was at
my lowest. I was dealing with a life-threatening illness, the dissolution
of a marriage, and issues with children and employment. Through
the supportive and caring counseling services of this faith-based
ministry, I have learned to recognize the significant impact that
our past has upon our present. Although painful at times, I have
worked through issues of abandonment and rejection, and continue
to be in the process of moving towards wholeness in Christ. LCC
provided me with a much needed lifeline and has been invaluable
to my survival and growth.”

“Thank you Life Counseling Center!! My husband
and I have a blended family. We began seeing Anthony Trader just
a year ago during a very difficult time. Anthony is wonderful! With
Anthony and the help of our Lord and Savior, our family is healing
and learning forgiveness. We have tried other counselors in the
past but Anthony has a way of making us feel safe and comfortable
even with the most difficult of issues. Anthony and Life Counseling
Center has truly been a blessing to our family!

“We wanted to take a moment and say a massive
Thank You to Dr. Fred Antonelli and Life Counseling Center. To put
it simply Dr. Fred saved my life and most Importantly my marriage.
A little over 2 years ago I started seeing Dr. Fred. I was at the
end of my rope. I had fallen into a very dark place. The abuses
of my past became a place where I dwelled, allowing myself to believe
all the negative thoughts that bounded me. I looked for anything
that would make me feel better. I went as far as having an affair.
In reality I was falling further away from where I needed to be.
After having fallen that far I even contemplated that everyone would
be better off without me. It was at that point I made a call to
LCC. It became obvious that was the best decision I had made in
a very long time. Dr. Fred helped me deal with the hurt from my
past, so I could move forward. That took some time. He then helped
me to see that I had to deal with the pain I caused to others as
well as the pain that was imposed on me from childhood. It wasn't
till then that I could actually forgive myself. That is when I began
to draw close to God again. Soon after my wife and I started going
to sessions together. It wasn't easy but with Dr. Fred's help and
guidance our marriage has been restored. God is good and he uses
people who are willing to be obedient to their calling. Dr Fred
we love you! To all the staff, you have blessed our lives. For that
we are eternally grateful. Blessings to you all!”
“Several years ago we lost our way as a married,
Christian couple. Living life, raising children, working jobs, volunteering
in church ministry, all became places we used to distract and channel
our frustrations. Although neither of us wanted to divorce things
had come to the point of separation. A good friend suggested that
we seek counseling and recommended Dr. Fred Antonelli and Life Counseling
Center. From the very first meeting we had with our counselor, we
felt like there was real hope and we both began to grow in the knowledge
of how we had been created as individuals to compliment, not compete
with one another. We identified the unhealthy ways we had been communicating,
and some of the underlying reasons for falling into those traps.
Along the way our counselor helped us get in touch with our God-given
(temperament) personality traits and quirks. We looked forward to
each additional session as we grew closer together in our mutual
understanding of God's design for husband and wife. As our need
for counseling became less, we renewed our wedding vows in a beautiful
ceremony with family and friends. We are forever grateful for God's
mercy on our marraige and for the wisdom of Life Counseling Center's
gifted therapists.”
