Samaritan Counseling Center

Sometimes it's a nameless, undefinable feeling of sadness. Or it could be an emotional crisis related to a deep personal loss. Perhaps it's a struggle resulting from an addiction. Or maybe life just feels complicated and overwhelming.

Whatever reason may be behind a person's difficulty, talking in confidence to a caring counselor can be the first step toward bringing the world back into focus. Counselors at Samaritan Counseling Services at Baptist Health Systems can help move people grappling with difficult life issues toward wholeness and health.

Hope and Help

Combining Christian principles and tools from
behavioral sciences, Samaritan professionals offer caring, Biblically-based pastoral counseling. Samaritan counselors believe that mental and emotional illnesses are best helped by both the wisdom of religious teachings and the knowledge and skills of the human behavioral sciences. Our counselors, who serve as representatives of a religious tradition or community, use the insights and principles of religion, theology, and modern behavioral sciences to offer help, hope and direction.

Samaritan counselors provide:

  • Individual counseling and psychotherapy
  • Marriage and family counseling
  • Group counseling
  • Referrals to appropriate agencies or therapists for additional help

Baptist's Samaritan Counseling Services has been awarded full accreditation by The Samaritan Institute based in Denver, Colorado, and is fully accredited by the American Association of Pastoral Counseling as a service center and training center. The program also has a consultative relationship with the Wayne E. Oates Institute for its Congregational Health Initiatives.
