This counseling ministry is intended as a service for those who seek
psychological/emotional healing and growth. Sometimes an individual or a
family experiences stress from loss, a critical event, or from difficulty in
finding balance among the commitments in our busy contemporary life. A
person may be experiencing a spiritual crisis or simply need help problem
solving. We provide counseling for individuals, couples, groups, and
families.
