Alyssa Cathers serves as an Adjunct Professor at BJU Seminary (Bob Jones University), specializing in equipping graduate students with developmentally appropriate biblical counseling tools for children and families. Her 25+ years of practical experience spans elementary education, homeschooling, Christian preschool instruction, and missions work.
Her research focuses on integrating biblical truth with child psychology, particularly addressing anxiety and trauma in youth. She develops practical resources including counseling manipulatives, art activities, and age-specific applications of Scripture to foster Christlike transformation in hurting children.
Cathers' work demonstrates strong trends in applied theology for childhood emotional disorders, with emphasis on natural disaster trauma response and abandonment issues. Her approach combines clinical counseling techniques with evangelical ministry principles.
She actively mentors through resource development rather than formal academic advising, creating tools adopted by relief organizations worldwide. Her church ministry extends to evangelism outreach, youth class assistance, and Children's Church teaching.
Her laboratory is the practical ministry context, where she tests resources like Anxious Abby with real-world trauma survivors through partnerships with missionaries and disaster relief groups.
