General Info

Diakonos Counseling has been in the mental health business for over 30 years and has 100 plus years of combined experience with the current therapists. Quality of care is the #1 goal at Diakonos. Our therapists routinely consult with other therapists to make sure they are delivering to their clients the highest quality of care possible. We are a private practice that has maximized personal care and clinical treatment without becoming over burdened with cumbersome policies and organizational complexities. All our therapists are licensed by the state and meet the standards required for continuing education. We believe in a healthy approach to healing life's problems through integrating sound Christian principles for the mind, body & spirit. Diakonos Counseling offers compassionate care for those struggling with painful emotions, distorted thinking, and troubling behavior, as well as those desiring personal growth and more satisfying relationships. Our therapists are comfortable and experienced at integrating clients’ religious & spiritual beliefs with the therapy and healing process. Treatment is personalized to meet the individual needs of each participant. Therapists are available to lead conferences and speak on topics of interest to your church, business, or organization. If you are not familiar with Diakonos and your first contact with us is online, we would be pleased to hear from you! Please let us know what your needs and questions are. We will be more than happy to help. Stephanie A. Fidler, Psy.D. Clinical Psychologist Executive Director Diakonos Counseling does not believe in setting you up with just any of our therapists. The Quality of care you receive from the first phone call to us is treated with the highest professionalism and confidence. Our support staff will take your information and get a brief explanation to what the issue is you would like to discuss. This information is then passed on to the executive or president to review and make a decision to which therapist best fits your needs. The chosen therapist will then give you a call to introduce themselves and to talk about scheduling options. Dr. Larry Cornine and his wife Dorothy founded Diakonos Counseling in 1981. Initially, the offices were located in the Central Professional Building on the square of Independence, MO. We are currently located at 4200 Little Blue Parkway, Independence, MO. In 1995 Steve Pringle took the position of Executive Director and Dr. Cornine then sold the practice to Dr. Pringle and his wife Mary in 2000. Diakonos Counseling has experienced much growth including the addition of therapists. The present therapy staff includes psychologists, professional counselors, and social workers. The growth Diakonos has experienced allows us to enrich and broaden the services we provide.
