Counseling & Spiritual Direction

Counseling is a growth process in which a professional journeys with you as you seek comfort, understanding, and insight. A deepening of self-knowledge through therapy, the exploration of alternatives and the development and practice of coping skills, all from a Christian perspective, help to facilitate this process. Counseling services offered include individual, couples and family counseling; group sessions for adolescents, singles and couples; grief counseling; behavioral skills; pre-marital preparation and counseling; life in the older years.

Spiritual direction is meeting with a trained and experienced director to reflect on how God is present and active in your life right now, and how God might be calling you into deeper relationship. God is the Director; the human director serves as the vessel through which the Spirit works to uncover and discover the Divine at work in your everyday experiences. The content of the direction session is simply your life: whatever aspect, story, or experience you feel moved to bring to prayer and reflection. You the seeker, your director, and the Holy Spirit meet in holy conversation so “you may have life and have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)

Above all, your spiritual director listens and helps you to come clear about the hints and guesses, the invitations, and the “nudgings” of the Spirit in your life. He/she helps you to be aware, to notice, to “wake up” to the spiritual relationship you have with God. Your director may help you with discernment, spiritual practices, methods of prayer, and at times suggest scripture and other spiritual reading that may enlighten your path. He/she is present as a compassionate, and respectful witness to the joys and sorrows of your journey. Together you pray for that “closer walk” with God. Prayer is part of your session and your director continues to hold you in prayer between sessions.

All of the Spiritual Directors listed on this page
are formed, trained and experienced.

You may want to consider a Spiritual Director if you have a committed prayer life or are searching for what that means. You also desire to discover how God is present in your ordinary life, and you are able to honor a monthly appointment to help you attend to God’s voice in your life.
