Samaritan Counseling Centers
901-729-3900
The Samaritan Counseling Centers of the Mid-South, Inc. provide affordable, professional, mental health services - counseling, educational and enrichment programs and consultation services for the people of the Greater Memphis area. A not-for-profit, interfaith agency in partnership with congregations, like Calvary, and the community at large, the Centers offer a full range of therapeutic and crisis intervention resources to help children, adolescents, individuals, couples and families explore issues that are barriers to emotional and spiritual health. Fees for services are based on individual circumstances of income and family size, and finances never preclude care. Well-trained, theologically-informed staff counselors are certified through professional organizations in compliance with state requirements. The Centers receive funding from supporting congregations, corporations, foundations and generous individual contributions. Appointments are available Monday through Friday, day or evening, at four counseling centers in Memphis and Germantown. For more information, contact Samaritan Counseling Centers.
In 2006, Calvary and the Samaritan Counseling Centers began a Congregation Assistance Program. Through this program, Calvary parishioners and staff have access to four sessions (eight for families) with a Samaritan counselor without charge. A Samaritan counselor also teaches a minimum of four classes a year at Calvary.
