Welcome
A wise man has many counselors.
People today seek many forms of counseling such as legal, health and wellness, educational, and financial. However, people neglect seeking life and emotional counsel. With these areas in balance our lives become more successful.
At Summit we specialize in Marriage and Family Issues, Life Coaching, and Pre-Marital Counseling. Some of the areas we counsel in are: depression, anxiety, stress management, anger management, grief, teenage issues, marriage conflict and communication, Christian counseling, and budget and financial management.
All of our clients are welcomed in a nonthreatening atmosphere where they immediately feel at ease.

- Pre Marital Counseling (PREPARE/ENRICH)
A study by Scott Stanley and Howard Markham published in 2006 stated that pre-marital education reduces the divorce rate of participants by 30%. These findings are significant because close to 50% of couples who marry, whether Christian or not, will divorce. One of the things Summit Counseling Ministries is about is preventative maintenance. We use the PREPARE/ENRICH Testing Profile as a tool for pre-marital and marriage enrichment counseling.
Some of the areas we deal with for pre-marital and marriage counseling are:
- Communication
- Finances
- Sex
- Adultery
- Divorce
- Relationship Problems
- Abuse
- Family Histories

Issues that we commonly see and help men with include:
- Marriage and Relationship Problems
- Communication

As parents, we hope that we know what our teens are facing. Other times, there is no way to know. At Summit Counseling Ministries, we want to help teens and parents find answers to the questions with which they are struggling most, in order to help them become the best people they can. We also want to help parents answer questions like:
- How can I help my child?
- What are they going through?
- Is this my fault?
We concentrate on other questions that parents and teens have also. It is our belief that all teenagers and parents, at different points in their life, need a Counselor, Mentor, or Life Coach.

- The Individual’s Needs – How severe is the problem? Is it life threatening? Is the individual motivated to get help?
- The Community’s Resources – What resources are available in the community? Are there competent counselors and psychiatrists available? In addition are there community mental health services that are accessible to this person?
It is important to choose which type of counselor is best suited for your needs—a pastoral counselor, lay counselor, or licensed professional. Investigate what the Christian counselors you are considering believe and how that applies to the way they practice their counseling.
