CentrePointe Counseling is here for your whole church family, the individuals, couples, and families in your congregation, and the pastors, clergy, leaders, and organizations who shepherd them. For members, we provide Christ-centered counseling for whatever season of life you’re walking through. For church leaders of all denominations, we’re a trusted resource for healthy patterns, organizational development, and spiritual growth.

FOR MEMBERS OF THE CONGREGATION: whether you are navigating grief, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or a major life transition, our licensed Christian counselors offer a supportive, faith-integrated environment for your healing journey. Members of CentrePointe’s partner churches receive priority scheduling and may qualify for subsidized counseling fees.

Making a Referral

Pastors, ministry leaders, and congregation members are all welcome to reach out directly. No referral is required to begin.

To arrange a consultation, call
1-800-491-5369, ext. 120.
Our staff will direct clients to one of our convenient locations based on geography, schedule, area of specialty, and insurance considerations.
If health insurance will not cover the session cost, a subsidized fee may be available.
Churches and individuals can assist those in need of help by donating toward their fees.
Some counselors have waiting lists but give priority access to people referred from CentrePointe’s Partnership Churches.

Ministry leaders, congregation members, friends, and family are encouraged to seek counseling when:

The problems are beyond your expertise and the situation requires more time than you can offer.
There is a mental health issue rather than a spiritual issue. However, faith will be valued in the process to promote healing.
The individual has faced an incident that is traumatic or is legal in nature.
If the candidate may cause self-harm, refer them IMMEDIATELY to an emergency room for assessment and treatment.
