Let Us Serve Your Church.

Many churches see the growing value of mental health care, but don’t have the resources to hire an in-house counselor. When referrals are necessary, you want to be sure you’re referring to skilled counselors grounded in Christian faith and principles. Thus, we desire to serve as a trusted partner in the work of discipleship, healing, restoration, and transformation.

Why you can trust us

We’re Ministry & Missions-Minded.

The therapists on our team are committed Christians. Many are seminary-trained and educated. And at least 10% have served or currently serve in vocational ministry as well. Our founder is an ordained pastor and holds both a Masters Degree in Biblical Counseling and a Doctor of Ministry in Marriage & Family. This team of counselors was built with Kingdom purpose in mind.

We’re Recommended by Others.

Ly and his team of therapists have been an incredible resource for our church as we reach out and care for our community. Having a network of counselors that are not only trained mental health professionals, but also biblical grounded helps us to feel confident that we can truly be a ‘come as you are’ church. - Jeff Jones, Lead Pastor of Chase Oaks Church

Our partnership with Watershed has been such a great addition to our counseling referral ministry. I am able to get personalized recommendations based on a clients needs and preferences, and the diversity of their counselors makes it easy to find a good fit every time. But the real game changer has been their low rates, discounts and scholarships. We are now able to provide sustainable counseling to members of our community who are extremely low-income. I am so grateful for Watershed and the way that the serve the local church and community! - Shannon Pugh, Pastor of Care & Special Needs, Irving Bible Church

In the past year, Connection Point Church has partnered with Watershed to provide a new level of mental health services for our church. We now have a clear pathway for those that need longer term counseling to deal with trauma, loss, and other challenges that often take a much longer time of healing than what a pastor or local church staff can provide. Watershed allows us to give a clear next step to long term care. I love the fact that I have met and vetted the counselors I recommend and I can give my full support when I refer a member of our church for counseling. It is an added bonus to have the benefits of the partnership discounts and scholarships as well. This has been a great partnership for our church. - Joel Halpin, Pastor of Connection Point Church

Our relationship with Watershed Initiative has been a tremendous blessing! We are a church that deeply values trusted counseling services. There are times in pastoral ministry when we need to call upon the help of doctors, therapists, para-church ministries, etc. to refer our church members to.

We needed to find a consistent group of counselors who we could confidently refer our church members to and know that they would be taken care of in all facets of mental health care. We needed to have a solid reference that would be trustworthy, timely in their communication, helpful with difficult financial conversations, and most importantly aligned with our Christian beliefs/values. We needed a resource who utilized their education, experience, and giftedness to connect people to Jesus for healing and abundant life.

We have found that in the Watershed Initiative! This group has met all of this criteria for us! We have worked together for over a year now and they continue to be a trustworthy resource that we are beyond thankful to partner with. - Ben Johnson, Executive Pastor at River Valley Fellowship
