Sidney Langston, Ph.D., D.Min., R.N. is the Director of Counseling for the El Rophe Center, Inc. After completing her doctorate in psychology in 1988, the Lord led Sydney and her husband, Chuck, to open two Christian counseling centers called El Rophe. One is in Waxhaw, the other in Rock Hill. Until Chuck went to be with the Lord in June, 1999, he served as El Rophe's president and administrator and Sidney serves as a counselor.

In addition to overseeing client care, she conducts individual, marital and family counseling, crisis intervention and mediation. She also writes mental health literature, conducts seminars on psychological and Biblical topics and hosts Journey to Wholeness, El Rophe's daily radio program.

Sidney has a background in medical/surgical, ICU and ER nursing and has over 25 years of experience as a psychiatric clinical nurse specialist in both private and state hospitals and outpatient facilities. She has taught medical/surgical and psychiatric nursing and also served in a nursing and counseling capacity with JAARS Inc., the technical support arm of Wycliffe Bible Translators. In addition to work at the El Rophe Center, she continues her missionary outreach, traveling abroad engaged in teaching, speaking and counseling.

Although Chuck is with the Lord, Sidney and El Rophe's board firmly believe the Lord desires El Rophe to continue carrying on the work He called them to in 1988.

Sidney has two daughters, Terri and Traci, and five granddaughters.
