Our Counselors

Bill Y​eary

Founder of Compassion Christian Counseling

I’m Bill Yeary, and I’m passionate about helping others through Compassion Christian Counseling. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 1981. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep interest in counseling and ministering to the whole person(body, soul, and spirit), earning several certifications in 1998, including Temperament Counselor, Master of Arts in Clinical Christian Psychology, and becoming a Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor. I also hold credentials as a Certified Faith-Based Clinical Counselor and have expertise as a Biblical Naturopath, Medicinal Herbalist, and Nutritionist.

On a personal note, I’ve been happily married since 1986 and am the proud father of five wonderful kids. My commitment to nurturing growth and healing in others is at the heart of what I do, and I find great joy in guiding individuals on their journeys toward wellness.

Lori Carl

Certified Faith-Based Clinical Counselor

I’m Lori Carl, a Certified Faith-Based Clinical Counselor with a passion for helping others. I graduated from BCP in 1980 and furthered my education at Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, where I earned a Bachelor of Education degree in English and an Associate’s in Speech and Guidance Counseling.

In 1987, I married my wonderful husband, Keith, and together we’ve been blessed with nine amazing children, five of whom are now married, along with five adorable grandbabies.

My heart lies in Women’s ministry and Bible studies, and I have a deep desire to be a vessel for the Lord’s work. I grew up in Beaumont, and I cherish the opportunity to support and uplift those around me through my faith and counseling.

Jennifer Herndon

Certified Faith-Based Clinical Counselor

I’m Jennifer Herndon, and my journey in ministry has been a fulfilling adventure. I spent two years at River of Life School of Ministry (2007-2009), where I had the privilege of ministering and serving alongside my husband. In 2012, I earned an Associate’s degree in Practical Theology, deepening my commitment to helping others.

For over 18 years, I’ve been happily married, and I’ve been home-schooling our two wonderful children for the past seven years. As a Certified Faith-Based Counselor, I’m passionate about supporting individuals and families in their faith journeys. I also serve as a Worship Leader for Royally Redeemed Women’s Ministry, where I get to share my love for worship.

With 20 years of ministry experience, I am dedicated to uplifting and empowering those around me through faith and service.
