About Steve Clay

Steve Clay serves as the director, as well as a counselor, at Metroplex Counseling, located in Bedford, Frisco, and Fort Worth, Texas . After 10 years in secular vocation, the Lord called Steve to trust Him with a whole new direction in life. He responded to the Lord's call, which brought him to the Dallas area to prepare for future ministry in biblical counseling. Since then Steve has been blessed to counsel people through God’s Word for over 15 years.

The preparation Steve received included training in biblical counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary. While earning that degree, he was employed at Prestonwood Baptist church, where he served in a variety of roles, most notably as Director of Facility Services and Director of Energy Management and Engineering, leading a team of over 30 employees. Through the experience Steve gained a tremendous appreciation for the particular struggles of those inside and outside the church environment, as well as an understanding of the complexities of the human experience in balancing work and family priorities.

The Lord has blessed Steve with a passion for His Word and a love for sharing its truth with others. The Bible’s authority and sufficiency is the central principle that guides the counsel he give to others. Steve believes that it alone provides the anchor for the soul, the undeniable and unshakeable truth that our drifting culture so desperately needs.

The goal of Steve's counseling is that his clients would find their hope in Christ alone, to learn to walk in His ways by His Spirit in accordance with His grace. He seeks to represent our Christ to them in ways that gain their trust, in a relationship in which they know they are understood and loved, and thus can rest in the confidence that the Lord has brought them to this current trial for their good and His glory.

The Lord has gifted Steve in listening, clarifying, and goal-setting from a biblical perspective. His areas of special emphasis are premarital, marital, and family issues, along with care for adults and adolescent children in the areas of identity confusion, relationships, depression, addictions, abuse, anger, anxiety and stress, as well as all other spiritual issues.

Steve has been married to his wife, Sheila, for over 26 years. They have four children.

Steve is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas.

It is his honor and great blessing to work with people in their particular struggles, being God’s ambassador of grace in the midst of their storms.
