Dr. Ronnie Eng is a Christian educator, biblical counselor, and clinical supervisor whose expertise is in delivering Biblical truth through evidence-based practices.  He has been invited to speak on the bio-psycho-social impact of spiritual health, and vice versa, by organizations around the world, including as a moderator and panelist with the Trauma Research Foundation.  His presence in the field is one of proactive leadership: serving on the board of ICHTHYSroe Biblical Counseling; a non-profit for children, couples, and caregivers.  He has also served on the board of the American Counseling Association (ACA) in New York as President.

As a practical theologian, Dr. Eng applied God’s wisdom to gain a doctorate in a Christian university after a master of arts degree in a Reformed seminary as well as a second master of arts degree in a state-licensure qualifying counseling program (honors with distinction).  His research on evidence-based practices that nurture faith from/for God through love for Him and our neighbors has been published.  He has also focused his efforts on developing resiliency, hardiness, and other protective factors that strengthen high-performing individuals (across all stages of development) in the context of international marriages and families (at different points in the family lifecycle).  This has given him insight into how to support missionary organizations by conducting assessments and counseling international workers to prepare them for the field, as well as build capacity in churches, parachurch organizations, and Biblical counseling centers through facilitating group resiliency workshops for both leadership and members.

Dr. Eng first began motivating infants/children (ages 2-4) diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through play therapy in the 1990s and met his wife while guiding adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders through expressive arts with Hope for New York nearly 20 years later.  They currently partner as trauma healing group facilitators certified by the Trauma Healing Institute, but their greatest collaboration has been encouraging their then 1.5-year-old to learn how to worship Jesus Christ in 5 languages, as well as recite entire passages of Scripture (ESV!) so well that she began teaching it to her infant sibling (who began reciting entire psalms as well as sang and played on the piano Nothing but the blood of Jesus at age 4).
