Madison Beresford MA, BCPC

Executive Director & Senior Biblical Counselor

Madison carries a deep conviction that the gospel speaks tenderly and powerfully into real places of hurt. For the past 14 years he has been active in counseling ministry, walking with individuals, couples, teens, and families through seasons marked by trauma, confusion, or transition. His heart is to help people do more than simply coexist with their pain but to understand biblical surrender that leads the healing and transformation of Jesus.

 

Madison and his wife Becky make their home in Wake Forest, North Carolina. They've been married for 16 years and are raising three wonderful sons and enjoy three lively golden retrievers. He loves the beauty and rhythms of central NC, and finds joy in teaching others what it means to abide in the Lord in the midst of everyday life.

 

As Executive Director and Senior Counselor, he brings a thoughtful, grounded approach to counseling. His areas of focus include abuse and trauma healing, addiction, male sexual issues, marriage and family dynamics, and the unique challenges faced by teens and young adults. He is committed to providing a safe, grace-filled environment where people can speak freely and encounter the restorative work of Jesus.

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9
