Meet Lynn Roush, LPC
Lynn Roush, Assistant Director of Crossing Counseling and co-creator of the With You in the Weeds podcast, is a native of Chicago and grew up attending Moody Church where her father, Pastor Erwin Lutzer, ministered for 36 years. She chose to study psychology and philosophy at Taylor University and then returned to Chicago to pursue an MA in Counseling Psychology from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School where her coursework included biblical and theological studies in addition to psychological and clinical training.
During her time at Trinity, she met and married Shay Roush. After spending several years at home raising their three children, Lynn started the professional counseling ministry at The Crossing in 2006. Her passion is to help people understand generational cycles of dysfunction and work with clients to break destructive patterns in marriages and families.
Here is Lynn in her own words:
“When I was struggling as a pastor’s kid in high school, I longed for – but couldn’t find – a safe person I could talk to. Out of that need grew my desire to become a counselor. My calling to provide professional counseling in a church setting hasn’t been an easy road, but I see how God has used this ministry to bring healing and transformation to those who are seeking to know themselves in the light of God’s truth.”
Lynn brings many talents to the WYITW team, including her ability to have fun, empathetically care for others, and lead a team of professionals well. Lynn uses her knowledge and experience to research, write, and record podcast episodes about topics that affect a wide variety of people and impact mental health, parenting, and relationships.
