  • Dr. Knabb is thorough, thoughtful and I truly enjoy the integration of secular psychology and Christian Principles. My personal life with Christ and my work with clients is changing as a result of listening to and reading Dr. Knabb's work. The personal stories and meditation at the end are practical and relatable.
