Disclaimers

Services such as “spiritual direction”, “counseling”, “grief recovery,” “grief support”, “spiritual care”, “emotional/spiritual support”, etc. are considered integral parts of my ministry. However, there are times when the needs of a individual go beyond support I can legally, professionally, and competently provide and referrals that encompass long-term professional counseling and/or licensed psychotherapy will take place. This is especially important, for instance, when it is suspected that the problem may be, for example, clinical depression—a debilitating medical illness. Only a physician or mental health professional is able to diagnose clinical depression and other mental illnesses. I will refer an individual to a mental health professional (i.e. - LPC, LMFT, LCSW, Psychologist, etc.) when the individual and/or myself determines that the needs of said individual go beyond my capacity to provide sufficient care and support.
