Dr. Luther Smith
Hello!
​
My name is Dr. Luther Smith. I am the Dean of the College the Department Chair of the Biblical Counseling department at Calvary University, and the Lead Counselor/Owner of N(y)oo Mind Biblical Counseling Center. I was formerly a psychological assistant at a recovery center in San Diego, an adjunct professor at San Diego Christian College, and a teaching elder at Potrero Community Church. Before becoming the Department Chair at Calvary University, I was an Academic Advisor for Southern California Seminary, a content creator for the Taylor Study Method, and a student worker at SCS.
I was born in Fort Ord Monterey but have resided in San Diego. Now I live in Missouri with my wife, Tanya, and my daughter, Wisdom. I received my BA in Psychology from Ashford University and earned my Masters in Religious Studies (MRS) and a Masters in Counseling Psychology (MACP) from SCS in 2011. In December 2016, I completed my doctorate in Psychology (Psy.D) from Southern California Seminary. I write books and train students and laypeople to counsel from a Biblical worldview using the therapeutic techniques I have learned in my graduate and post-graduate programs. Some of my recreational activities include spending time with family, listening to music, reading, writing, and studying personal areas of interest.
Newly Released
A New Book by Dr. Luther Smith
Dr. Luther Smith's book, Foundations of Counseling Biblically, is a small book that offers insights for licensed and lay counselors working from a biblical worldview. In addition to providing a process for determining if a counseling technique aligns with Scripture, the book also offers guidance on how to counsel unbelievers and offers a counseling model, which he believes is consistent with the biblical perspective. This book is a great resource for any counselor to effectively counsel all people.
