Counseling

The Garden Greenville Counseling Ministry exists to provide pastoral counseling to those who find themselves in need of extra emotional help and healing. We help people heal through Spiritual Development. We desire to facilitate reconnection to the Father where pain and disappointments in life have brought disconnection.

We offer services to members from trained, lay counselors here at The Garden Greenville or provide connections with trusted, biblical, licensed counselors in the city. Either way, we are here to serve you with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Counseling Requests

Whether you are looking to receive counseling in house or a referral to another counselor, please reach out via email at care@thegardengreenville.com. Let us know how we can assist and we will help you with the appropriate next steps.

We are in the office during the week, Tuesdays-Thursdays, and will respond as soon as possible.
