Why Pastoral Counseling?

Professional pastoral counselors bring a distinctive and important ministry to the mental health world.

Specifically they are:

• Fully Qualified Mental Health Professionals - In addition to the rigorous professional training in psychotherapy, pastoral counselors must undergo their own personal therapy to be certified; increasing our understanding of your emotional needs.
• Dually Trained - Dual certification in psychotherapy and theology equips our therapists to understand and translate both psychological and religious expressions.
• Open minded - Empathy based, non-directive, non-judgmental, person, couple, and family-centered practitioners.
• Integrated and Multi-dimensional approach - Knowledgeable about and sensitive to spiritual concerns and religious traditions as well as psychological dynamics. An integrated mind, body, and spiritual approach to mental health.
