In this global pandemic, it is important for us to take care of ourselves, which includes our mental health. Below is a list of some local counselors and groups that our church recommends. 

 

With the coronavirus, most insurance companies have approved payment for tele therapy and local therapists are now offering sessions online or on the phone.  If you feel the need for counseling at this time, here are some of the local experienced therapists who are available by appointment:
