The Center

The Presbyterian Counseling Center is an "upper room" where excellence in counseling is expressed in a spirit of pastoral care. What are your needs? Too much pain in your heart? Can't see a way out? Overwhelmed by a crisis? Want your life to be better?

Like most people, we believe God is involved in healing. Unlike most secular counselors, we are comfortable talking about God in the counseling session. Unlike some "faith counselors", we won't force our beliefs down your throat. Nearly everyone says they believe in God, but most counselors are taught that God does not belong in therapy. Most people feel their spiritual faith and religious beliefs are closely tied to their state of mental and emotional health, but very few counselors are trained how to integrate spirituality into counseling. It is important to most people that their counselor respects their faith values and beliefs, yet too many counselors either disregard faith or try to convince the client to believe a particular way. People who come to the Presbyterian Counseling Center find that their own spiritual beliefs and values are seamlessly woven together with deeply competent counseling into an especially healing experience of psychotherapy.

The Presbyterian Counseling Center began in the recognition that people are hurting and the church needs to help. So God gives particular talents and training in order to meet particular needs. In 1986, Rev. Richard Hills and the local Presbyterian churches asked a Presbyterian minister and a counseling professor to create a place of ministry to people in pain. Together Rev. Dan Taylor and Dr. Fred Robbins founded the Center and began these years of ministry.
