How We Can Help

An “In-House” Counseling Option without All the Headaches

Watershed Initiative was designed to provide you with as close to an “in-house” counseling option for your church without all the administrative, operational, or liability difficulties that come with maintaining an in-house therapy team. With close to two decades of experience working for and with churches, we have a deep understanding of the unique needs and challenges that come with caring for your congregation.

We can help take care of interfacing with your church’s benevolence fund, handling initial requests and assessments for your church members, and advising on all questions regarding mental health issues or concerns.

Support for Pastors and Ministry Staff

We’re committed to serving pastors and ministry leaders. Why? Because we’re acutely aware that many pastors simply don’t have a safe place to turn when they’re in need of support and care. Yet the unique emotional, relational, and spiritual demands of serving in the pastorate put many pastors and their families in a vulnerable position. That’s why we offer a program specifically designed to support the mental and emotional wellbeing of senior-level leaders.

Many of our therapists have personal experience serving as pastors and ministers in both churches and nonprofit settings, so we understand what you’re up against.

Let’s Partner

Two Ways to Partner

  1. Informal Partnership. Great for churches who want to add another offering to their list of counseling resources.

  2. Watershed Church Partnership. A formal partnership that’s great for churches looking for a robust, all-inclusive mental health solution for their church community.

We’d love to chat with you and see how we can serve your church. At our first meeting, we’ll get to know your church’s needs and share more about these different partnership options. Whatever the case, we enjoy connecting with local area pastors and finding ways to support your needs.
