What is IPS/Divine Mercy University? In 1999, a group of psychologists and academicians saw the immense need for an institution of higher education that could bring psychology into harmony with the truth and wisdom of the Catholic-Christian vision of the human person, a life of virtue and moral values. IPS/DMU is the only graduate school in existence devoted to integrating the best psychological science with a Catholic view of the human person and the moral life.
Good Shepherd Institute of the Bluegrass is the Catholic counseling ministry of Family Renewal Project, providing expert mental health care by professionals who are well-trained in psychological science and firmly rooted in the Catholic faith with the Catholic-Christian understanding of the human person.
Our full-time clinician, Andrew Van Roie, is available for appointments Monday – Friday, with both daytime and evening hours. Dr. Richard Meyer is available on a limited basis in-person at his office in Covington and via virtual appointment. Learn more HERE.
