Mount Olivet Counseling Service is a ministry of:
Healing:anxiety, depression, guilt, anger and pain;
Supporting:through difficult times and circumstances;
Guiding:thorough decisions and choices, looking at options, alternatives and possibilities;
Reconciling:of the self to the self, to God and to others.

Mount Olivet is one of comparatively few churches in America which provide professional counseling services to deal with the tensions, pressures, changing attitudes, and stresses of today's living. Two psychologists, a family/child/adolescent counselor, a therapist, a pastoral counselor and a psychiatrist help people work through their problems with the use of counseling, psychotherapy and/or medication in a Christian setting.

All counseling is confidential as defined by law. It is offered without charge to members, though some who are served make voluntary contributions to support this program. Fees for non-members are $45 per session or less, depending on ability to pay.

Mount Olivet's counseling ministry is not only to assist in problem solving, but to build a preventive program for personal, family, or marital problems and to offer the assurance of sustaining helpfulness in the family of God.

To make an appointment, call the Counseling Office at 612.927.7335. The office is located at 1804 West 50th Street, across from the northeast corner of the church parking lot.

Group counseling is also available at the Group Counseling Center, 5000 Logan Avenue South, across from the northwest corner of the church parking lot. Please call 612.927.7335 for information.

We are imperfect beings living in a complex world. Stress, tension and change add to the complexity. It takes courage and maturity to acknowledge a problem and do something about it. Most problems can be resolved if we are willing to work on them. Our professional staff is available to work with you.
