About Grace in the Shadows


If you are searching for help, ​you have come to the right place!


In life you seek out the ability to have peace, harmony, a fulfilling career, and a happy family. However, sometimes these things do not happen, or things go astray. Life happens, tragedy comes about, or situations arise to make you feel unhinged

Sometimes, you just need someone with whom you can unload. Someone who will walk you through solutions to the problems at hand. I would like to be that person for you.

I am Dr. Jonathan Behler, a North Carolina, Virginia and Alabama Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and an ordained minister trained in pastoral counseling. I work primarily through video and phone appointments in a secure environment.

I have a PhD in Psychology, a Master's of Divinity in Theology, a Master's in Professional Counseling and a BS in Political Science. I am certified in AACC counseling with panic disorder; Neurobiology and Addiction; Certified Clinical Trauma Professional; Marriage Works, and Certified in PCIT for Traumatized Children.

I have experience working with clients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, Tourette Syndrome, OCD, marital issues, family issues, clergy burnout, porn addiction and numerous other mental health issues. I have also worked with military members and their families dealing with PTSD related issues. Finally, I have extensive experience working with clergy members and their families dealing with issues of the church.


I have worked with a wide array of clients: medical doctors, nurses, police officers, firefighters, lawyers, school teachers, mechanics, sanitation workers, pastors, veterinarians and many others. I have assisted many of these individuals throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. I have a great interest in marriage counseling with integration of biblical concepts. I have witnessed many marriages healed and relationships become better than ever. I have also worked with clients that struggle with pornography addiction. I have worked with many clients that are struggling with grief of various types. I have helped individuals with issues of OCD, anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms. I believe that God can take a person’s mess and turn it into a message and their test into a testimony!
