WHAT WE OFFER

 

COUNSELING AND REFERRALS

New Creation has a consortium of licensed counselors and trained volunteer personnel available to provide care and counseling to individuals, couples and families in need. If you feel like you need to speak with an outside providing professional, we can refer you to a mental health counselor, psychologist or psychiatrist. If you are planning to get married, we offer pre-marital counseling as well as marriage counseling for couples. Please note, anyone we recommend or refer to has been carefully screened and assessed according to their professional and theological soundness, expertise, and quality of care.
