WELCOME TO GENESIS COUNSELING & CRUX LEADERSHIP COACHING
Discovering God's Design
Coaching and Counseling Rooted in the Truth of the Human Person
About Us
Crux Leadership Coaching was founded in 2021 by Daren Weisbrod as he was feeling called to turn his many years of working one-on-one with others, helping them develop and flourish, into a formal business. In 2024, Marnee (his wife) moved out of a contracted clinician role with a group practice and started her own counseling business, Genesis Counseling. Daren and Marnee then became co-owners of Crux Leadership Coaching, DBA Genesis Counseling.
Soon after Genesis was formed, Daren began taking classes to get his Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Divine Mercy University. Upon graduation in 2027, Daren will move into a regular clinician role, while still taking corporate coaching clients.
In April 2025, Genesis welcomed the first external clinician to the group. The group is continuing to grow, with six clinicians and counting.

The Divine Physician and a Christian Approach to Mental Health and Wellbeing
Christian Counseling Restores Us for Our Daily Pilgrimage
A counselor with a Christian theological anthropology—that is, the understanding of our origin and ultimate destiny in God—is better equipped to help us overcome the obstacles that prevent us from being fully able to follow God’s call in our lives.
Counseling, rightly anchored in a Christian theological anthropology, restores and equips us for our daily pilgrimage. As we journey through this life to heaven, we benefit by realizing that the purpose of counseling is neither to eliminate all hardships nor to establish a perpetual dependency on therapy! Counseling should help us accept and embrace challenges in our lives with the confidence that comes from a preeminent relationship with God and the healing offered through relationship with his Son, the Divine Physician. Such counseling can assist in our healing and recovery and help us to regain our freedom of action in our daily lives.

A Future With Hope
The Catholic Context for Mental Health
One might rightly ask, if we don’t speak of a Catholic physics or a Catholic biology, why do we need a Catholic understanding of mental health? The answer is because any notion of mental health is laden with beliefs about the human person, about true human anthropology. After all, if mental health refers to “a person’s cognitive, behavioral, and emotional well-being,” we must know what well-being means and what well-being looks like. But notions of human flourishing depend on one’s beliefs about the human person’s origins, purpose, and destiny. And so, a Catholic view of mental health is necessary because it defines well-being according to reason and revelation.
