Heartfelt Counseling Ministries exists to provide resources and education to people struggling with mental illnesses, their families, and pastors.

For Pastors Heartfelt is also a resource in itself for pastors. Many times the schedule of a pastor prevents him from giving the extended care that he would like to for people struggling with mental illness or grief. Heartfelt can work with you to be a trusted place where you can refer people to go to for longer term care. The staff at Heartfelt understands the pain and struggle associated with mental illness and grief because they have experienced it, but they also have the training and experience to come alongside those who are hurting and show them hope. Call or email Steve at Heartfelt Counseling Ministries to see how Heartfelt can partner with you to meet the needs of your congregation.
