Pastoral Counseling is a contemporary form of the ancient ministry of healing where the most helpful of spiritual resources are blended with the best of psychological insight in the search for resolutions to life issues.  Psychotherapy without spiritual foundations does not touch the deep wounds or the deep sources of healing.We believe that what wounds people can also bless them. 

Common life problems:

•     Depression and anxiety;
•     Low sense of self-worth;
•     Adjustment to loss, divorce, or physical illness;
•     Unresolved grief;
•     Marital, family or job conflict;
•     Unmanageable feelings of guilt, anger, loneliness, sadness, shame, or fear;
•     Addictive disorders;
·         Parent-Child issue;
•     Relationship difficulties;
•     Searching for:
            a meaningful faith,
            a passionate marriage,
            or a fulfilling vocation. 

The Center is open to people of all ages, regardless of religious belief or denominational affiliation.  The Center gives one the opportunity to speak confidentially with a professional pastoral counselor who is trained and certified in individual, marriage, family, and group psychotherapy.

Pre-Marital and Post-Divorce counseling, Spiritual Direction, Divorce Mediation, and Dream Interpretation Seminar are available.

The professional staff maintains relationships with other professional people such as psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, physicians, social workers, clergy, and attorneys so that appropriate and useful consultation and referral can take place.

The fee for therapy is determined at the initial visit.  Medical insurance coverage may apply.  We believe that psychotherapy should be available to everyone, even those without financial means.
