People do not seek help until they have run out of answers. Something has to change.
Pastoral psychotherapy is literally the work of “changing the soul.†Our clinical skills always serve the belief that God will be with people in the process of change, and there will be new answers to life’s problems that are not yet known. With this difference from ordinary psychotherapy, you can be confident in your referrals to our care. Hope and healing are possible, even when you have given up.
Marital and Family Therapy brings new options for whole families seeking answers to questions they do not even know how to ask.
Our staff members are skilled in providing workshops and adult education for clergy, clinical professionals, and the general public in settings such as congregations, courts, and conference centers.The major topics of our presentations include:
* Roles of religious professionals
* The theology of health care
* The definitions of healing and therapy
* Professional ethics
* Stages of faith development
* Parenting and family values
* Child/adolescent development
* Gender and person relationships
* Legal issues affecting caregivers
* Dynamics of abuse and survival
* Grief, loss, and the life cycle
* Conflict resolution in churches
* Endings and beginnings
We address these and other current clinical issues of concern in talks, print media, radio, television, and other valid public forums. We believe that all the things we do to bring good news to people are vital parts of our work as a caring agent in your community.
