Christ is restoring all things.
You were never meant to walk alone.
We believe every person who sits down with us bears the image of God. That is not a slogan for a website. It is why we take your suffering seriously, your story seriously, and your hope seriously.
Why we exist
Pastoral and clinical counseling were never meant to stand apart.
Too many people are asked to divide their healing from their faith. They find a counselor who understands the mind but not the soul. Or a pastor who understands the soul but was never trained for what they are carrying. That is the gap we were built to close.
We put pastoral and clinical counselors in one organization so you do not have to choose. Clinical skill is deepened by spiritual wisdom. Pastoral care is sharpened by clinical understanding. We also train the next generation of counselors, so that fewer people get sent away.
How we come alongside
Three ways we walk with people.
Pillar One
Pastoral Counseling
Scripture, prayer, discipleship, and pastoral guidance. For grief, for marriage and family struggles, for anxiety and fear, for spiritual questions, and for the ordinary weight of a hard season.
These services are provided by pastoral counselors who are not licensed or registered by the State of California. You are free to seek licensed mental health care from other providers, and we will help you find it.
Pillar Two
Clinical Counseling
Professional mental-health counseling from licensed clinicians and from associates and trainees supervised by one. Same mission. Within the standards of their licenses.
You will always know which kind of care you are receiving. We put it in writing before you begin.
Pillar Three
Ministry & Education
Chaplaincy, marriage and premarital ministry, courses and pastoral-care training, community teaching, and published resources.
Teaching is not treatment. Education here is education. It is not counseling, diagnosis, or treatment.
What it costs
A fee that moves to meet you.
The standard fee follows your counselor's degree level. It slides with household income and household size, down to $20 per session, and a hardship waiver goes further when circumstances change.
Asking will not slow your care down.
What we owe you
Accountability is how love stays honest over time.
You keep the wheel
We do not begin counseling with a predetermined outcome that we impose. Our counselors listen to your goals and work toward those goals. You remain free at every point to disagree with us and to decide what you will do with your own life.
Everything in writing, first
Which kind of care you are getting, what it costs, and how your privacy works. You will have all of it before anything begins.
Nobody here practices alone
Pastoral counselors serve under pastoral oversight. Clinical counselors serve under the standards of their licenses and under supervision.
What we promise
Presence, truthfulness, and confidentiality within limits we explain before you start. Some of what you bring us will change. Some may not.
Our beliefs shape what we teach and who ministers. They never decide whom we serve.
Whoever you are, whatever you carry, if we offer the care you are seeking, it is yours. Every person who comes to us will be met with kindness, gentleness, patience, and compassion.
Every counselor brings a framework to the room. Ours is openly Christian. If you would prefer care that does not proceed from a Christian framework, tell us and we will gladly help you find another qualified provider.
Philosophy of Care
This is who we intend to be.
We do not promise to tell you only what you want to hear. We promise to tell you the truth gently, to honor your freedom, and to point you toward the One in whom every broken thing is finally made whole.
You are loved. You are welcome. And there is hope.
