Pastor’s Corner

Pathways Counseling is grateful to come alongside pastors and churches in caring for God’s people. We recognize the trust involved when a pastor refers a congregant for counseling, and we are committed to providing care that is Christ-like, compassionate, and professionally grounded. Our Statement of Faith consists of the Apostles Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed. Our director, Dr. Van Dyken, was instrumental in planting a Gospel Coalition affiliated church in the Middle East. Referrals from pastors tend to represent the Bible-believing, orthodox, and Evangelical churches they pastor, but that said we very comfortably welcome non-Christians and ex-Christians to receive our services. Our counseling approach integrates biblical truth and prayer where it is welcomed, depending on the client. We seek to support healing, growth, and restoration while honoring each individual’s faith journey.

We strive to make the referral process simple. Referrals can be made by sharing our website or encouraging the individual to contact us directly. With the client’s consent, we welcome appropriate collaboration with pastors while maintaining confidentiality.

In addition to individual counseling, Pathways Counseling offers customized webinars and workshops for churches and ministry teams upon request. These can be tailored to address topics such as spiritual abuse, anxiety, grief, marriage, burnout, spiritual growth, and emotional health from a Christian perspective.

If you would like to discuss a referral or explore training opportunities for your congregation, we invite you to reach out directly. Complete the form below, and we’ll be in touch with you shortly. We value partnership with the local church and consider it a privilege to support your ministry.
