Counseling, Therapy & Crisis

 

Resources

We are so glad that you are considering pursuing deeper healing in your life through counseling. We know that the journey to find a counselor can feel daunting, so it’s our hope to provide you with a list of therapists, counselors, and resource centers that have been recommended to us by people in our Bridgetown community. 

Please view this list simply as recommendations from fellow church attendees, rather than vetted, fully endorsed practitioners. While many of our pastors at Bridgetown Church are familiar and acquainted with some of the people listed, some of them we are not familiar with all. Nonetheless, we are hopeful that this list will serve as a good starting point for you.

Please let us know if there are other ways we can help you as you walk this journey! “We are confident that he who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it."
