Pacific Christian Counseling Center

Pacific Christian Counseling Center Review

Just outside of Portland, Oregon in the town of Tigard, Pacific Christian Counseling Center provides individuals, couples, and families a number of specialized, spiritually based treatment services. Dr. Stephen W. Peirce, an ordained minister with a PhD in Psychology, founded the outpatient facility. In addition to spiritual counseling for children, adolescents and adults, there are also a series of retreats, seminars and mediation services available.

Treatment and Staff

Before receiving any sort of treatment, incoming clients fill out online forms. These forms gather basic information about each client’s background and why he or she is seeking counseling. They also outline the privacy guidelines at the practice. It’s worth noting, potential clients can also request appointments online.

Pacific Christian Counseling Center specializes in treating clients with depression and anxiety, and the circumstances that may be contributing to these feelings. Common issues include grief, stress, conflict and symptoms of PTSD. Counselors usually treat younger clients for problems in school or family matters.

Additional treatment focus is for those who are seeking premarital and marriage counseling. Issues within marriage may explore problems with communication, intimacy and sexual difficulties. There are also career counseling services, issues surrounding big life transitions, and divorce mediation. Family therapy can be within a group setting, or with just individual families. Staff can also conduct assessments and personality tests for businesses, and handle mediation and conflict management for industries.

Each individual has a personalized treatment plan that addresses specific goals and specific needs. Consequently, clients work with their counselor to set time lines during treatment and work towards achieving their accomplishments. During treatment clients receive guidance and creative solutions to their issues. They also begin to explore the root of where the problems began.

The staff of four includes three Master’s-level therapists who are LPC, MSW and LCSW. There is also a CSW intern who works with clients as well. Dr. Peirce, who has over 30 years of experience in the field working with individuals and families, leads the treatment team.

Extras

Finally, the services here are not limited to conflicts or problems that people may face. There are also counseling options for those who are looking to explore their spirituality and faith.

In Summary

Pacific Christian Counseling Center offers well rounded treatment options in a variety of issues and concerns for people of all ages. The staff is caring and fosters a peaceful, safe environment for individuals to explore the reasons why they are seeking treatment. Above all, this organization aims to give its clients experiences that will help them grow and change in order to live a happier life.
