APS Temperament Analysis
Telehealth Counseling & Coaching
APS Temperament Analysis
The Arno Profile System (APS) is a powerful tool used in conjunction with Christian counseling. It measures and identifies a client’s temperament in three areas: Inclusion, Control, and Affection.
- Inclusion: Social orientation and intellectual energies.
- Control: Willingness or unwillingness to make decisions for oneself and others.
- Affection: Interaction in deep relationships.
Developed by Drs. Richard and Phyllis Arno over a seven-year study through systematic research with over 5000 individuals. This method is an integral part of Highlands Christian Counseling, based on Scripture and aims to save time while helping to produce effective results.

About Me
About Me
Hello, my name is Paul LaGod & I am a Licensed Pastoral Counselor. I hold an MA in Clinical Christian Counseling & a BA in Christian Education. I am also a professional life coach with the ICCA as well as being an ordained minister, but above all, I am a devoted Christian. At the age of 20, I experienced a profound encounter with Jesus that transformed my life from darkness to a passionate pursuit of God's Kingdom and His righteousness. I am a father to two wonderful children and the widowed husband of my beautiful wife, Misty. Despite enduring various illnesses throughout most of our marriage, Misty held on to hope, loved our friends and family deeply, inspired many, and completed her degree alongside me. Together, we dreamed of starting a counseling ministry, a vision that continues to drive me forward.
During our time together, I learned invaluable lessons about serving well, caring for others, being patient, leading with integrity, displaying true love, and staying faithful in all circumstances. While earning a counseling degree provided me with essential knowledge, the life experience of living with and caring for a disabled spouse taught me even more. It deepened my understanding of what it means to have a successful relationship, to be a man, a father, and a husband, and to approach difficult topics with love and effectiveness. My time with Misty helped to form a greater empathy and understanding for others and shape the vision of my practice.
My deepest desire is to see others thrive, achieving success and wholeness while loving well, caring for others, and wholeheartedly following Christ to reflect His love to the world. If you are seeking healing through counseling or striving to become a more engaged and successful individual, I invite you to consider allowing me to assist you on your life journey. While I may not have all the answers, I am dedicated to using my resources and knowledge to help you reach your goals, and I look forward to the better days ahead.
