About Dr. and Mrs. Selle

Andrew & Dawna Selle

“Our most important qualification is this: we are sinners saved by God’s grace who know the transforming power of the Gospel—for individuals, marriages, families, communities, and nations! In comparison with Christ’s glory, all the biographical info below fades to nothing.”

ANDREW SELLE has counseled people in need for over thirty years, starting with his training and doctoral studies at the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF) in Glenside, PA. In 1997, he founded Christian Counseling & Mediation, a ministry of biblical counseling and conciliation. He has specialized training in conflict resolution, and is an ordained minister in an evangelical presbyterian church. Over the years, church and community leaders have expressed their trust in his counsel and have referred many people to him. He has taught in various settings and serves with Dawna as a counselor and peacemaker for churches, Christian leaders, families, and married couples.

DAWNA SELLE is a trained Christian conciliator and counselor, often serving together with Andrew in marriage counseling, conciliation, and seminars. As a teacher, Dawna has worked in many settings, having taught in public school, Christian school, home-education, and women’s retreats. She is also a skilled musician who teaches piano privately and serves as a church pianist and choir director.

Both Dawna and Andrew have a heart for the world-wide church. They teach regularly, both remotely and in person, at Baltic Reformed Theological Seminary (Riga, Latvia), training future church leaders in this strategic region. They are now retired from full-time counseling.
