Dr. Paul Looney
Dr. Paul Looney is a board-certified psychiatrist, pastor, author, and speaker whose work integrates clinical psychiatry with faith. Born in 1955, he grew up wrestling secretly with gender dysphoria and same-sex attraction long before it became a public conversation. The tragic suicide of his older brother served as a pivotal turning point that grounded his faith and reshaped his perspective on eternity and surrender.
With decades of clinical experience, Dr. Looney has served in university settings, state psychiatric roles, prison ministries, and on numerous non-profit boards. As a counselor and pastor, he uses his personal story and professional insight to guide individuals and couples through deep emotional, relational, and spiritual chaos. He has been married to his wife, Terry, for over 40 years, and they have three sons and many grandchildren.
