For virtually every Christian leader, particularly for pastors, you are nearly always the one providing help. The one serving, giving, and leading.

BUT WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU NEED HELP?

What about the times, that hit virtually every leader, (including some of our heroes such as Andy Stanley, Craig Groeschel, and Peter Scazzero), when you are the one that is struggling?

What about those times when your anxiety and sense of being overwhelmed will not settle down?

What about the times when you are discouraged and candidly, even depressed about your leadership situation or your life?

Or, when you are battling something that is really personal, that you know goes against what you want to be about?

WHO CAN YOU GO TO? 

You can’t really tell a subordinate these things because they need to see you as confident, and by virtue of their role, they cannot be a confidant.

Sometimes, peers are available, which is good, and yet even if they are, sometimes there’s only so much they can do, given their time limitations, and the weighty, complex nature of what you might need to share.

Our spouses are often willing to help us, but they are often limited too.  Wives are an extraordinary gift, and yet sometimes they can take information so personally that we are reluctant to share something painful about someone they know, because the burden may be too much for them, or for the people involved.   Husbands often struggle with finding the patience to listen long enough to really help.

It’s for the above reasons that at certain times, we really just need someone outside our system, someone who is trained in coming alongside leaders that are struggling in substantial ways.

OUR EXPERIENCE

While it is impossible to say that any therapist will be a perfect fit for your needs, gratefully many members of our team have substantial experience working with a range of pastors and Christian leaders. Your therapist will also have supervised support to help them help you with whatever challenges you are facing.  

HOW OFTEN DO WE MEET? 

Usually, therapy appointments are held weekly.  When a person gets into a better place, they can move twice a month. On rare occasions, meeting twice a week is needed to help a person who is deeply struggling start to right the ship.

WHERE DO WE MEET? 

All of our therapy work is provided via telehealth.  We can work with clients from a large range of states.
