WE believe in the integration of the two sciences as vehicles for healing: Theology and Psychology.

Who We Are

César and Carolann De León, after 34 years of marriage, have experienced the delights and challenges of serving the Lord as a ministry marriage. Dr. César De León is an ordained SDA minister and a California licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT). Dr. De León earned his B.A. in theology from Walla Walla University, an M.Div. degree from the Theological Seminary at Andrews University in 1985 and a Master of Science in Marriage & Family Therapy from Loma Linda University in 1993. In 2002, Dr. De León received a clinical Ph.D. in Marriage & Family Therapy from the School of Psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary.

Carolann De León practiced as a critical care registered nurse for 14 years before pursuing a Master of Science in Marriage & Family Therapy from Loma Linda University. She was near completing her Ph.D. from the school of psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary, also in Marriage & Family Therapy, when she decided to accept a “higher call” to dedicate herself to being fully present for the raising and education of her two sons, a decision she has never regretted. She is currently completing a Ph.D. in Clinical Pastoral Counseling. The De León’s have two adult sons, Zachary and Jonathan.
