DR. MIKE WHITE, DMin., PhD

I have been in the Ministry for nearly 44 years and have been the Senior Pastor of Impact Ministries located on the Gulf Coast of Alabama for the past 30+ years. I have been very happily married to my wife Sharon for over 41 years. I am the father of 4 children and 8 grandchildren. I am passionate about helping people and have found Temperament Therapy to be one the most powerful tools available in helping people grow closer to the Lord by discovering the person God created them to be! I am here to offer support, guidance and hope in a safe, nonjudgmental space. I believe everyone deserves access to quality Christian counseling, regardless of their financial situation. To be very clear, we offer Christian, faith-based spiritual counseling. Our approach incorporates the Bible and prayer as central components of our methodology. If you are uncomfortable with biblical guidance or exploring God’s principles for living, we may not be a good fit for you. Please consider this before requesting an appointment. Because we are a ministry, we will not turn anybody away because of financial concerns. Ask us about our sliding scale or no cost options. All Sliding Scale options are coded "SS_Counseling" when requesting an appointment. Please note: All counseling services provided are pastoral and spiritual in nature, grounded in biblical principles.
