Who We Are
We met at The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology in 2016. Minjoo completed her Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology and Megan completed her Master of Divinity in 2020. Minjoo wants to work with people to find freedom in their hearts and spread love & hope through psychotherapy and education. Megan wants to work with individuals and churches through education and advocacy to prevent violence against women and children, and to help churches be prepared for when abuse is reported.
Minjoo Bayers
she/her
Minjoo (pronounced Min-Ju, like the first part of Juliet) is a Korean American woman from South Korea and New York. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, in Washington State. She completed her internship at Kentucky Refugee Ministries, in Louisville, Kentucky. Minjoo immigrated to New York when she was 7 years old with her family.
Multiculturalism has always been a part of Minjoo’s life. She speaks Korean, English, and some Spanish. She has lived in South Korea and many different parts of the United States. She also spent several months in Mexico and the United Kingdom.
Before becoming a therapist, Minjoo was an award-winning analyst working in federal service. What changed her life was learning from Dr. Dan Allender in various workshops offered by The Allender Center. She wanted more of the life-changing miracles she experienced there, and pursued them at The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology. Some of Minjoo’s favorite courses were theology courses, which helped to liberate her from poor theology and doctrines that had weighed her down. She enjoys walks in the park and food from all over the world with her husband, daughter, and two dogs.
Megan Doner
she/her
Megan grew up in Oklahoma, where she enjoyed participating in her church community and fostering social justice through community work. Her early career was as an accounting specialist at a small manufacturing company. She knew there was something more drawing her into the intersection of social justice and the church with a particular focus on the sexual violence women face, so she moved to Seattle to obtain a Masters of Divinity at The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology in 2016.
Her focus during her studies was heavily directed toward women and children who face sexual abuse and the church’s response. While she started with the intention of helping others, she realized the harm and misinformation her own background had created. She also faced her own abuse more deeply in order to seek healing for herself that could then be shared with others.
Her goals in life include bringing conversations of abuse and trauma into church leadership (both in individual churches and in broader communities), helping women unpack their spirituality to have a more free relationship with God, and above all, to seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8). In her freetime she enjoys quality time with friends, hiking, photography, and all things crafty.
