Our Services
What We Offer
The Listening Ear CMS
is a faith-based company that was formed in 2016 as a volunteer service provider and transformed into an LLC in 2021. Many people face crimes due to abuse, anger, depression, anxiety, fear, and emotional turmoil. Our services can help decrease these emotional instabilities and provide positive development.
The Listening Ear CMS is available to those who have a desire to be listened to and not just heard so issues or concerns affecting their everyday lives can be resolved. We specialize in Temperament Awareness which gives insight into cognitive behavior and self-evaluation, getting to know yourself-the real you, and enabling interaction with your environment and others in a healthier way.

The counselor gave me tools that helped me heal, grow, and regain confidence. I’m now walking in peace and clarity I didn’t think was possible.”
“This counseling service was a blessing when I needed it most. The support, patience, and guidance helped me work through years of emotional pain.
