The Listening Ear
is a faith-based company that was formed in 2016 as a volunteer service provider and transformed into an LLC in 2021. Many people face crimes due to abuse, anger, depression, anxiety, fear, and emotional turmoil. Our services can help decrease these emotional instabilities and provide positive development.
The Listening Ear is available to those who have a desire to be listened to and not just heard so issues or concerns affecting their everyday lives can be resolved. We specialize in Temperament Awareness which gives insight into cognitive behavior and self-evaluation, getting to know yourself-the real you, and enabling interaction with your environment and others in a healthier way.

What Our Clients Say
I can only speak for myself about what I have experienced with JP as a Christian person and a godly counselor. She really has a heart for what she does and her love for people is shown by the attention she gives and the services she provides. She “won’t” sugarcoat, nor compromise her integrity by just saying what she thinks you want to hear, she is truthful, compassionate, understanding, and non-judgmental. She did an APS on me and my son that really enlightened me about our character and why we do the things we do. This was very helpful in my understanding of how I relate to people. JP is truly God-sent.
I wish I had talked to JP before my wife and I were married because the APS Temperament Analysis really helped us both to get to know each other better and understand ourselves better. We would have avoided many things that caused our marriage to fail had we done this first, unfortunately, we didn’t and neither of us was willing to compromise and start over. I encourage you to get to know yourself and your partner through your temperament whether you are married or not. You will have a better understanding of who you are dealing with.
If you want to be heard, The Listening Ear Counseling and Mediation Services is where you need to go. JP is such a good listener and their slogan, We Hear with our EARS and Listen with our HEARTS is exactly what they do. You will feel like someone really cares because you are being heard and listened to. Each time I have talked with JP I feel better because she gives sound advice that will help you to understand your motive and make the right decisions. She is a gift from God.
We met JP as a mediator while attending college. We were in conflict which led to a physical altercation between us and had to go to mediation. We did not think we were going to be able to resolve our issues but JP encouraged us to share our feelings with each other to get to the root cause of the breakdown in our communication. We learned our problem was due to a big misunderstanding that was fueled by a mutual friend. Before mediation was over, we were crying and apologizing to each other for the confusion our mutual friend had caused. Thanks to JP our relationship was restored.
JP was the co-mediator for a court-order civil dispute I had with one of my tenants. Because she was assisting another mediator, she brought balance, professionalism, and a sense of peace into the mediation session and we were able to come to a payment agreement that worked for me and my ex-tenants. She is truly a patient, professional and no-nonsense person. If I had to go to another mediation session, I would definitely want her, or someone like her.
