Carole Bentley Ball, MA in Biblical Counseling, LCMHC #8312, is a psychotherapist currently in private practice at Providence Counseling & Training, Inc, a group started by her husband, Ray Ball, LCMHC, in 2007.  

After beginning to recognize her own experience of sexual abuse for what it was through another woman’s story in 1987, she has been on a 30-plus year personal and professional journey to unravel both the obvious and subtle effects of sexual violation on the integrity of the mind, body, soul, spirit, relationships, and professional effectiveness.

Initially and continually, she has been influenced by the work of Dr. Dan Allender. She is committed to giving her life to the process of peering into the heartache of this particular injury to free herself and others from deleterious effects through individual and group therapy, speaking opportunities, and being a part of the process of therapists, spouses and friends being able to engage well with its aftermath towards increasing restoration and freedom.
