Mental Health

Professional Mental Health Care Recommendations

Welcome! We understand that many individuals in our church and surrounding community may face mental health challenges or navigate difficult times. We fully encourage reaching out to professionals like counselors or psychiatrists for support when needed. Often, people prefer to find someone who shares their Christian faith but aren’t sure how to begin. To help with this, we've compiled a list of resources to help you start your search.

If you are hoping to receive pastoral care or would like to better understand what support your local church is able to provide at this time, please email hannah@aletheia.org.

Please read before contacting a counselor:

Emergency Response
If you are experiencing overwhelming or intense thoughts about harming yourself or others, it is crucial to seek immediate assistance. These situations require urgent attention, and the best course of action is to contact emergency services by calling 911 or to go directly to the nearest emergency room. Taking prompt action can ensure your safety and the safety of those around you.

Spiritual Counsel
If you are seeking counseling on strictly spiritual issues, such as connecting with God, Biblical wisdom, or matters related to spiritual warfare, we recommend seeking pastoral counseling from a group leader, pastor or elder.

The Holy Spirit is our best counselor, advocate, comforter, and guide. Even while pursuing counseling, continue nurturing your relationship with God. Counseling should never be a substitute or take away from your personal relationship with the Triune God.

Counseling is most effective with support from family and friends. Stay connected to your community as you work with a counselor.
