Counseling

What is Pastoral Counseling?

• Pastoral counseling is confidential, Bible-based counseling by one trained and experienced in both pastoral and counseling ministry.
• Pastoral counseling is not designed to treat severe mental illness. We do not perform psychiatric or psychological evaluations, nor prescribe medication.
• The pastoral counselor uses prayer and scripture to welcome God's presence into the healing process.
• A typical counseling session lasts one hour. After the first meeting, the counselor will make recommendations for follow-up appointments and participation in other support ministries at EUM Church.
• Because pastoral counseling is only one part of the overall ministry to individuals and families at EUM Church, counselees are encouraged to participate in weekly worship services, classes, support groups, and fellowships at EUM Church in order to achieve the maximum benefit from pastoral counseling.
• Counseling appointments are available free of charge to EUM Church members.
