Frequently Asked Questions
What is Pastoral Counseling?
Most counseling deals with the
emotional and physical aspects of a person's life;
Pastoral Counseling also
include a the ability to include a person's spiritual life.
Do we help only people who
are religious? No, including your faith and beliefs is just an option. Many find this
helpful, but not everyone.
A third of our counseling clients come to us because we offer fee subsidies,
a third come because we have a
great reputation for doing high quality counseling,
and a third of our clients come
because we are able to offer faith-sensitive counseling.
We are a place of healing and hope
... for everyone.
