Rev. Dr. Wiebe's curiosity about how faithful people can associate counseling as taboo led her on a vocational mission to integrate healthy Christian faith practices with current understandings of trauma treatment. Today, she helps build bridges between congregation leaders, community leaders, and mental health professionals through her work as a pastoral psychotherapist, disaster response specialist, and group care consultant. Rev. Dr. Wiebe's practice is grounded in Judeo-Christian theology and in formed by relational psychoanalysis, social relations theories, and human development psychology. She is a skilled diagnostician who highly values the "village of care" that occurs when faith leaders, spiritual directors, social workers, medical professionals, and mental health professionals collaborate for best results.
Founder of ICTG, her practical experience includes directing care ministries among three congregations, multiple psychotherapeutic practicums and internship, individual/couples/group counseling and coaching practices, and volunteering as a National Responder for Presbyterian Disaster Assistance for a decade.
Through these avenues, Rev. Dr. Wiebe has responded to dozens of community disaster events throughout the United States, including tornadoes in the Midwest and Texas, hurricanes throughout the Gulf Coast and south Atlantic coastline, wildfires throughout California, and shootings or attacks in IL, TX, CT, CO, PA, NV, and CA, and come alongside leaders of government agencies, churches, schools, camps, businesses, and community groups. She also has served as a subject matter expert related to topics of internal organizational crises (i.e., the sudden loss of a leader, revelation of the betrayal of a leader) or external community crises (i.e., natural disasters, mass shootings or attacks) to numerous government, nonprofit, academic, small business organizations, and long-term recovery groups.
In 2005, Rev. Dr. Wiebe was recognized for her academic excellence in pastoral care and cultural analysis with the Princeton Theological Seminary Fellowship in Practical Theology.
Her personal passions include family, travel, reading biographies and fictional novels, culinary art, and all kinds of celebrations.
