Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: When should I seek help from a pastoral counselor?
A: A pastoral counselor is trained in both psychology and theology and thus can address psychological and spiritual issues. You should consider meeting with a pastoral counselor if you are experiencing emotional difficulties and wish to address these matters in the context of faith.

Q: Do pastoral counselors work only with individuals or do they also work with families?
A: Pastoral counselors are trained mental health professionals and, as such, work with individuals, couples and families. The nature of the counseling is agreed upon by the client and pastoral counselor.

Q: What is the stance on confidentiality at The Lyndon Center?
A: The confidentiality of the pastoral counselor/client relationship is of great importance. There are limits of confidentiality. Clients will be informed of these limits prior to services being rendered.

Q: How do pastoral counselors differ from other mental health professionals?
A: There is a distinction between pastoral counselors and other mental health professionals. Pastoral counselors are trained in two disciplines, psychology and theology. They are trained in promoting spiritual health, emotional health, and mental health. In some cases, pastoral counselors have more education.

Q: How do pastoral counselors work with other health care professionals to provide therapy?
A: Pastoral counselors may refer clients to other health care professionals, such as a medical physician, for evaluation and medication. In turn, health care professionals may refer clients, who prefer to receive therapy that integrates psychology with theology, to pastoral counselors. In many cases, pastoral counselors work as a team with other health care providers.
