Pastoral Care & Counseling Institute

Who We Are

The Pastoral Care & Counseling Institute is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing spiritual support in many forms to the wider community. Our mission is to treat the whole person, addressing individual, family, social, and spiritual needs. For over thirty-five years, we have been providing counseling, psychotherapy, clinical training, consultation, and education to individuals, families, and faith communities.

Our Values

At the heart of our mission is the treatment of the whole person. We believe that life is a precious gift to be honored and lived in good faith. We stand ready to midwife others in their journey, helping them find meaning and value in the human struggle. Our staff is committed to helping people gain an open and honest look at their feelings, abilities, circumstances, and relationships. Where change can be made, we will support, challenge, and nurture. Where change is not possible, we will help people accept themselves and grieve their losses so they can live again with an adventurous and open heart.
