What is pastoral counseling?

Pastoral counseling integrates the behavioral sciences and theology. In addition to being licensed professional counselors, many on the Center's staff are also clergy. The Center has a psychiatric consultant, and we collaborate with psychiatric and other health care professionals in Hampton Roads. We welcome clients from a wide variety of faith traditions, and we invite them to draw upon these resources as they cope with their struggles.

Pastoral Counseling may be for you if you desire:

• Mental, emotional, spiritual, well-being
• Healing in a relationship
• Help with managing anxiety or depression
• Guidance in adjusting to major life changes, such as divorce, career change, job loss or death
• Improvement in family, school, or social relationships
• Professional counseling which integrates behavioral sciences and theology
