About the professional brand
Care that honors the whole person.
Avery & Covenant Counseling Group is Darryl Avery’s professional business and contracted invoicing entity. Darryl currently provides counseling services at and through the Care Center at Pikes Peak Christian Church.
Faith can be part of counseling when it is meaningful to you. It is never assumed or required. Clients of every faith tradition—and clients with no religious affiliation—are welcome here.
Areas of focus
Support shaped around your life.
Counseling is tailored to your goals, strengths, context, and pace. Scheduling and intake are coordinated through the Care Center at Pikes Peak Christian Church.

Trauma, grief & loss

Also welcoming: adolescents, parents, blended families, long-term couples, men, and military- and veteran-connected individuals.
Counseling approach
Warmth and evidence belong in the same room.
Evidence-based
Care draws from established counseling practices and is adapted to your needs rather than applied as a one-size-fits-all formula.
Client-centered
You bring essential knowledge of your life. Counseling is collaborative, transparent, and oriented around goals we define together.
Faith-informed
Spiritual beliefs may be integrated at your invitation. Your beliefs, doubts, and boundaries are respected without pressure.
Culturally responsive
Identity, family, community, culture, and lived experience are meaningful parts of the therapeutic conversation.
Systems-oriented & trauma-informed
Darryl draws from CBT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and family systems theory with sensitivity to development, culture, relationships, and trauma exposure.
