Ray Mitsch
In 2005 after experiencing a devastating accident that left him in perpetual pain, Dr. Mitsch embarked on a journey into the heart of God realizing that God didn’t need him to accomplish ministry for Him. Dr. Mitsch was hijacked by the tender, relentless grace of Jesus that cemented his conviction that God wanted a brutally honest, authentic relationship with him. This led him into a long desert experience with God that has refined and transformed his relationships and his relationship with his Abba.
Dr. Mitsch has been in the counseling profession since 1980. In 1993, he started his own counseling practice called Cornerstone Counseling Center, and has been in private practice since that time. He has had extensive experience in men’s ministry, and caring ministries within the local church.
Dr. Mitsch has used his 40 years of experience in working with missionaries from around the world. As a result, he has had the opportunity to work with over 1000 missionary families both on the field as well as those on home assignment. He has been actively involved in field-based crisis intervention, candidate assessment, and post-field debriefing as well as trauma debriefing.
He has authored five books including his best-selling book, “Grieving the Loss of Someone You Love” selling over 400,000 copies worldwide. He was a charter member of the American Association of Christian Counseling, and is a licensed psychologist in Colorado. Ray has been married to Linda for 40 years and blessed to have four daughters: Corrie, Anne, Abigail, and Elizabeth and two grandsons, Greyson, Desmond and Henry. The Mitsches live in the Denver area.
