COUNSELING

If you are looking for counseling resources, we would recommend both Redeemer Counseling Services (RCS) and Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF). Both provide professional, Biblically-based counseling for individuals, couples, and families. RCS is a ministry based out of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City and CCEF, based out of Philadelphia, is commited to restore Christ to counseling. While you may initially meet face-to-face, both offices can offer counseling services via phone and/or skype where travel is restrictive.

For information about initial appointments and other inquiries regarding their services, please contact their offices directly.
