What Life Focus Center NJ does

Life Focus Center NJ is a non-profit, Christ-centered biblical counseling ministry founded in 2014 by Dr. Andrea Hennessee and headquartered in Moorestown, New Jersey, with a second office in Galloway, NJ. The organization delivers individual, couples, family, and premarital counseling alongside specialized offerings including Temperament Therapy (a temperament assessment identifying God-given design), the SYMBIS premarital assessment, Ramsey Solutions-based financial coaching, life coaching, and an Aligned Prayer Ministry focused on inner healing. Services are provided by a team of ordained ministers of pastoral care credentialed through the National Christian Counselors Association (NCCA) with Doctorate-level Clinical Christian Counseling degrees; the organization is explicit that its counselors are not state-licensed therapists but pastoral care providers.

The business and revenue model rests on per-session counseling fees of $85.00, a one-time $45.00 temperament test charge, free structured support groups (Love & Respect for couples and Changes That Heal for individuals), and a donation program processed through PayPal that allows sponsors to underwrite sessions for clients who cannot pay. The center does not accept insurance but provides statements and an NPI number for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Distribution combines two physical offices, virtual Zoom sessions, Square-based self-serve booking, and a dense referral network of partner churches including The WOW Center NJ, Calvary Delran, LifeSpring City Church, The Haven, Kingsway Church, and others — the relationship with LifeSpring is particularly deep, including shared leadership that birthed the Aligned Prayer Ministry service line.

Top-of-funnel demand generation relies on the LFC website blog, Facebook and Instagram pages, partner church referrals, and an annual community 6K run (LFC 6K). The organization is governed by a Board of Directors including an Executive Vice President (Barry Dudley), Treasurer (Rob Kelley), Secretary (Christine McKeon), and a board member from Cozen O'Connor (Ruby Rocks), with no external investors, parent company, or funding rounds disclosed. There are no AI/ML capabilities, mobile apps, patents, or public award recognitions associated with the organization.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Hallow: Largest Catholic prayer and meditation app, offering guided sessions, sleep content, and mental wellness tools at scale. Comparable to LFC as a faith-based mental wellness provider, but operates as a mass-market digital incumbent rather than a local counseling ministry.
• Gloo: Faith-based technology platform connecting churches, pastors, and individuals to mental wellness, relationship, and spiritual growth resources. Comparable to LFC as a technology-enabled connector in the Christian counseling and personal-growth ecosystem, but at a national platform scale.

Emerging players

• Abide: Christian meditation and sleep app delivering Bible-guided mindfulness sessions. Comparable to LFC in serving faith-based mental wellness demand via digital delivery, though focused on self-guided content rather than live counseling relationships.

Direct peers

• Faithful Counseling: Online Christian counseling platform that matches clients with licensed therapists who integrate biblical principles into evidence-based care. Directly comparable to LFC because it serves the same Christ-centered counseling demand, primarily through virtual delivery — the same channel LFC uses for out-of-state clients.
• Soul Shepherding: Pastoral counseling and spiritual direction practice that integrates prayer, soul care, and spiritual formation with counseling. Comparable to LFC because it combines ordained ministry credentials with therapeutic practice and emphasizes inner-healing prayer as a core modality.
• Pure Desire Ministries: Faith-based ministry providing counseling resources and group programs focused on sexual integrity, addiction, and relational healing. Comparable to LFC in its Christ-centered counseling model and use of structured group curricula delivered through church partnerships.
• Biblical Counseling Center: Faith-based counseling and training ministry offering one-on-one, marriage, and family counseling from a biblical framework. Directly comparable to LFC in its ministry-extension model, counselor training approach, and integration of theology with practical counseling.
• Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF): A long-established biblical counseling organization that trains and certifies Christian counselors and provides counseling resources directly to individuals and churches. Directly comparable to LFC because it operates in the same faith-integrated counseling space with similar theological underpinnings.
