Jordan PooleApril 1, 2026Phyllis was very easy to talk with and even better to listen to as she walks with you through each session. Being able to share and communicate vulnerable things about your life can feel intimidating and uncomfortable, but Phyllis provides a very welcoming space to drop your guard and experience the healing that The Lord has for us all. I’m very grateful for the time I had to meet with her and count her as a true gift to the body of Christ. If you are considering sitting with someone whether in person or on zoom like I did, it is well worth the time and investment!Posted on Google
Karlie FischerOctober 4, 2025I’ve had a great experience with Phyllis at A and B Counseling. She has helped me walk out my deliverance. I’ve battled my whole life with tormenting fear. I thought I wasn’t reading my bible enough, praying enough or walking in faith enough. But I just needed deliverance. Now my spiritual weapons work and I am experiencing such breakthrough and joy and I am excited for my future.Posted on Google
Malia RomarJuly 8, 2025Working with Phyllis has been life-changing. From our very first session, I could sense the presence of the Holy Spirit moving. Phyllis has such a pleasant way of creating a safe, Spirit-led space where I could be honest, vulnerable, and open to the deep healing that I knew I desperately needed. As someone who’s highly sensitive to spiritual attacks and can often pick up on what others are carrying, I used to feel overwhelmed and unsure how to protect myself. Phyllis taught me how to walk in spiritual authority with peace and discernment. Through her coaching, I’ve learned to break agreements with lies that had been tormenting me day in and day out in cycles, and set healthy emotional boundaries—especially in challenging relational dynamics where I once felt trapped by other people’s moods and reactions. I also came to her with a heavy heart about my past sin and lifestyle choices but Phyllis responded in a genuine and non-judgmental way. Her prayers, insights, and deep love for Jesus continually pointed me back to truth, and I loved how she referred to scripture throughout. I left each session feeling lighter, clearer, and closer to God. Even when I was forced to confront difficult situations from my past that I had bottled up or pushed aside, I was still comforted by the fact that I had someone knowledgeable, strong and empathetic. What sets Phyllis apart is that she doesn’t just minister to you—she equips you. She’s helped me grow in my spiritual gifts, recognize when I’m under attack, and walk in the freedom Jesus already paid for. I now feel more rooted in my identity in Christ, more confident in discerning His voice, and more equipped to walk out my calling. If you’re seeking real freedom, not just surface-level relief, but deep inner healing and transformation, Phyllis is your person. She carries both wisdom and compassion, grace and truth. Thank you Phyllis. I’m grateful for how you’ve walked with me and helped me walk more closely with Jesus.Posted on Google
ACW JonesMay 27, 2025I have worked with Dr Tarbox now for a few weeks, and I highly recommend this very thorough and effective, Biblical process that aims for freedom! I have been set free from some awful, tormenting things and the process was very personal, comforting, and reassuring. It was not weird or dramatic. I am so grateful for this ministry, and Dr Tarbox is excellent!Posted on Google

Amanda Newman DerrFebruary 26, 2025Dr.Tarbox is professional, intelligent and very kind making this entire process comfortable and inviting to continue. My fiancé and I went through this together in some teachings and separate in the deliverance, as we recognized we had personal battles and generational battles we were carrying that we wanted to end and be closer to God. Dr.Tarbox prepared us with truth and knowledge in a kind way that we understood. She only spoke truth with love just as Jesus instructs us to. Another great thing that happened to us during this process was that my fiancé was called to follow Jesus Christ and he chose to get baptized at our church. I would absolutely recommend anybody to walk this journey, we all have our battles. Through our teachings we learned that we are truly living in a world that is flesh against spirit. This helps equip us with understanding, knowledge of prayers and support. Yes, we both continued through and finished with our deliverance. 12/10! I was set free by Jesus and the Holy Spirit working within me and my goal is to be made free with my daily walk and journey with God. “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” - John 8:32NKJV I hope that this provides encouragement and truth to someone who needs to move forward and to trust God— we were made for His love.Posted on Google
Tilaya SullivanJanuary 9, 2025My experience with Above and Beyond Deliverance Ministry was nothing short of amazing. Dr.Tanya Jones was very attentive and knowledgeable about the issues I wanted to address. The sessions were very informative and easy to apply to my life. Thanks for being apart of my deliverance journey !Posted on Google

Not only with what i thought my issues were. but other things i needed to be delivered from. and for the first time in many years. i feel lighter and at peace, In Gods perfect timing I found peace and strength,Posted on Google
Nadia WhiteSeptember 28, 2024I cannot say enough about Phyllis' work at Above & Beyond Christian Counseling, I have been in Christian therapy for years but she has made the biggest difference in not only my spiritual walk, but fighting the ploys of the enemy, practical tools were given and actual process of breaking strongholds. The deliverance therapy has truly changed my life and I will be forever grateful.Posted on Google
Chrissy HowardFebruary 17, 2024Dr. Jones is professional, helpful and kind. I definitely felt a difference after deliverance. I’m very blessed to have had deliverance.Posted on Google
Jennifer JohnsonFebruary 8, 2024Although I am a Born Again Christian, I had been struggling through life with family of origin issues, anger, frustration & pent up resentments. I was feeling very stuck. I started watching the Above & Beyond Christian Counseling Deliverance Ministry videos and they really resonated with me. After much thought I contacted them & arranged for Dr Phyllis Tarbox, to help me through a one-on-one deliverance. She performed an ultra-thorough intake at the first session. The worksheets & homework, although a lot of work, provided the right preparation for the actual deliverance session. Although I didn't experience anything dramatic at the time of the deliverance, I am definitely experiencing the benefits from it. It will be 2 weeks tomorrow since my deliverance and I feel calmer, peaceful and just "more normal." I've actively felt the Holy Spirit by my side since the session and it has been a wonderful feeling. It was the right time & Phyllis was the right counselor to guide me through my deliverance. I know this probably isn't for everyone but if you're tired of feeling bad and want to experience freedom then I highly recommend this Deliverance Program. Phyllis was excellent. She's a wealth of knowledge, professional & most importantly, very connected to the Lord.Posted on Google
Trina ClementsDecember 22, 2023Above and Beyond Christian Counseling is a great resource that is much needed in the body of Christ. I met with Phyllis Tarbox who was able to pinpoint those areas that needed healing and deliverance in my life and am experiencing much needed freedom! I highly recommend both Phyllis and this ministry.Posted on Google
Wendy HooverNovember 13, 2023I received excellent Christian Biblical Counseling from Phyllis. She was able to help me identify the open doors I had in my life. I felt so much break off me during my deliverance session. I highly recommend Above and Beyond Christian Counseling. Deliverance is a gift from God and we should all take hold of this gift. I encourage anyone who wants to walk in freedom; this is a wonderful resource.Posted on Google
Hannah K. PuderNovember 2, 2023As a mature believer who grew up in church my whole life, but hadn’t experienced deliverance before, I wasn’t sure what to experience from my sessions with Phyllis. But having now gone through the process, I was blown away at how much grace, empathy, and love was shown toward me throughout the whole process. To be transparent, I was expecting a lot of judgment for things I had done wrong, but my experience was the exact opposite. Romans 2:4 states that the goodness of God leads to repentance, and that is exactly what I felt - the goodness and mercy of God.Posted on Google
Molly M. SvrcinaJuly 31, 2023I stumbled on Above & Beyond from a Google Search actually. I felt God prompting my heart that I needed to check in and ask for help with counseling, and deliverance being an element of that. I truly believe it was the kindness of the Lord that I connected with this center. I had the honor of walking through the process of deliverance and the teaching alongside it with Dane Caolo, and it was seriously an incredible experience. Every step / aspect of their process was clear and logical, centered on the Word of God, prayer, and the leading of the Holy Spirit. There were some things I was struggling with where I could see/feel the effects in my life, but I couldn’t clearly identify the root spiritually. The deliverance session, and the whole process brought out into the open things I didn’t know or understand before, and Dane created space for me to ask questions, and really make sure I was grasping the material. Each session / week comes with resources that have been incredibly helpful, and a lot of them, have been amazing tools I’m still referring back to, even though I’m finished with the program. They’ve helped deepen my understanding of the authority I have in Christ, exercising discernment & being watchful of my thoughts, and helping me to pray more effectively. I understand that with deliverance there are some things where that freedom can be evident immediately, and other ways that walking out deliverance with developing new habits takes some time. But I do really feel well-equipped, and positioned on a better trajectory, and that I am ready to move forward with God in accomplishing His purposes for my life. Cannot recommend enough. Super thankful!Posted on Google

JaRabia TaylorMarch 14, 2023I accidentally found Above & Beyond Christian Counseling via Google, but it was exactly what I needed to heal spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. There aren’t many counseling programs that also offer deliverance, so this is pretty unique. Dr. Jones is such a kind soul. I can tell that she genuinely loves God and wants to see others become free in Christ. I learned that deliverance is a process, but it doesn’t have to be weird. I appreciate that the whole experience was immersed in God’s word. I was sad when my sessions came to an end, but I can say that freedom and awareness is the best thing ever! Thank you again Dr. Jones for everything 😊 *Also I’d like to mention that the Temperament Analysis by the Arno Profile System was 99% accurate in describing me as a person. It is nice to accept how I was created by God. I have a clearer understanding of self, both my positive qualities along with the areas that I should be mindful of.Posted on Google
LaNita PittsOctober 5, 2022Amazing experience! Blessed, Delivered, and Educated!Highly recommend Dr. Tanya N Pearce!Posted on Google
Jeffrey ReevesSeptember 30, 2022I had two friends independently suggest that I seek a deliverance ministry. I chose AandB. After the 5 step process not only did I experience deliverance but physical healing as well. Specifically Tanya Pearce, PhD answered all my questions and dispelled all my doubts. Using the power and authority given to her she ministered life and health to me. Now I am experiencing an overwhelming love flowing thru me which I know is the Holy Spirit living in me. Thanks be to Jesus.Posted on Google
Stacey SAugust 30, 2022Not too long ago, if someone told me about spiritual warfare, I would have thought that they were out of their mind. Yet in January 2020, I found myself face to face with the enemy, and I assure you, he is real. Battling solo for a year and half with little to no spiritual armor, other than the need to grab my Bible and delve deep into its lessons, I finally came across Phyllis. Her prayers of healing, protection and agreement are enforced by a solid application of Biblical truths. Although a process, I can say it is worth the time so you can be free to learn how to walk in victory and apply the authority God has given us to live in peace and abundance.Posted on Google
Bekah NavaAugust 29, 2022Phyllis is an absolute gift to my life and I can't imagine going through the last year and half without her. She's a true warrior in the Spirit! The Holy Spirit has used her to bring me such freedom and hope even in the hardest seasons of my life!
