Soul Care is not clinical therapy or licensed professional counseling. We do not diagnose, treat mental health conditions, or provide medical or psychological interventions.
Instead, we focus on:
Spiritual formation
Discernment regarding big decisions, life transitions, vocation, faith, and relationships.
Personal growth and life direction
Spiritual and existential angst
Church and religious hurt
We maintain referral relationships with licensed therapists and will recommend clinical support when appropriate.

Our soul care method is rooted in a Christological view of the universe. We believe that all creation is the result of the creative desire of an Unmoved Mover and that all human beings bear the image of that creator.
While we view the human soul through the basic tenants of the Christian tradition, we believe that people from all walks of life and faith can benefit from telling their story as it authentically relates to them. Our providers have worked with people from many faiths and backgrounds and feel honored to sit with persons of varying beliefs and experiences.
