Services & Fees

Services & Fees

Our commitment is to provide counseling worthy of your trust. All staff must meet a high bar for wisdom, competency, and demonstrable usefulness to the people and churches we serve. Staff are required to go beyond the minimum requirements of the field and to continue receiving supervision after completing the hours necessary for their training and credentialing. We believe the work and the people are too precious in the eyes of God not to offer our best, so we offer continuing education to keep growing, learning from feedback, and building upon areas of focus and expertise.

Because we provide training and supervision to counselors earlier in their careers, we are happy to offer their services at a lower cost. Even so, for counselors at every tier, we require strong references, a heart for ministering to people, and consistently good feedback from clients and local church leaders.

As a non-profit center, our goal is to provide high-quality care that remains accessible in our underserved region. Please note in your inquiry if any of the following apply:

  • You are seeking a counselor who can provide a superbill for insurance reimbursement
  • Your church will be sponsoring or contributing to counseling fees
  • You are a local resident and request financial assistance
  • You are in vocational ministry and request financial assistance
