Soul Care
Soul care is designed to help individuals who want to seek counseling from a therapist of the Chrisitan faith. Stevens Counseling is trained to align with your beliefs and values. Soul Care is designed to help individuals know there is a safe place provided to freely express one's journey in their faith. That "journey" is not always magnificent. There are highs and lows of life that can create disruption and leave one hurt, feeling alone, shamed, or angry with God, their self, and/or the church. Painful emotions can persist for years. There can be benefit from sharing past experiences with a trained professional in counseling when you are ready.
​
Soul Care is open to all who request incorporating their faith and biblical principles into the counseling process. Soul Care is designed to be a support for those who are wrestling with their faith, have walked away from the church, or have experienced hurt or spiritual abuse.
​
Soul Care is also available for pastors, youth ministers, church staff, and missionaries serving or who have served in ministry. Stevens Counseling understands the complexities of ministry work and holds space for those, at any time, that need to express distress freely, without judgement, in a confidential and private environment. There does not have to be a mental health issue in order to address soul care.
​
I'd like to share a quote from someone who listened to my own journey during a difficult time, and I will forever be grateful for the care and compassion he extended in his role as Pastor. His work inspired this service.

"Soul Care offers an opportunity to create and hold space for processing, wrestling, listening, and cooperating with the process of being formed through the good and the bad."
