TPCS is a not-for-proft extension of the Judeo-Christian faith community dedicated to providing quality pastoral counseling and education to anyone regardless of age, race, faith perspective or socio-economic background. Organized in 1974, TPCS serves more the 1,500 clients annually in nine church based centers throughout Hampton Roads. The staff are ordained clergy representing a wide variety of denominations, who have specialized training and certification through the American Association of Pastoral Counselors.
Many of the pastoral counselors on staff are licensed in Virginia as Professional Counselors (LPC), Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT), and Clinical Social Workers (LCSW). Like other mental health professionals, pastoral counselors are required to complete a clinical training program and possess a working knowledge of personality development, pyschopathology, theories of counseling, the psychology of religious experience and marriage and family dynamics.
Unlike other mental health professionals, pastoral counselors are required to have a graduate degree in theology, ordination or its equivilant, three years experience in parish ministry and the endorsement of a recognized faith group.
