Counseling
Life is stressful at times. All of us have a certain amount of it each day and typically cope with it well. There are times, however, when stress becomes overwhelming and the solutions we usually turn to don't seem to work.
For over 135 years, Lutheran Family and Children's Services of Missouri has provided the kind of care that enables people to experience the wholeness of life God intends, by working to facilitate the healing process with services that are sensitive to spiritual, as well as the emotional and psychological needs of clients. With seven offices, in the St. Louis metropolitan area, five in Lutheran congregations, over 80 Lutheran parishes referred clients to the agency last year for individual, marriage or family counseling. Referrals come from a variety of sources all over the community, including schools, doctors, courts, former clients, and managed care companies.
Professional therapists with credentials in clinical social work, marriage and family therapy, professional counseling, and psychiatry are experienced in individual, couple, family, and group therapy.
Dealing with foreclosure?
Lutheran Family and Children’s Services is here to help. Project Rebuild Hope is a collaborative program of LFCS, St. Louis Alliance for Homeownership Preservation, St. Louis Mental Health Board and the United Way. Our counselors are available to provide counseling services for individuals dealing with the loss of their home. LFCS counselors focus on stress reduction, anxiety, problems at work, marital issues, depression, family relationships, parent-child concerns, child / adolescent issues, and self-esteem concerns.
We are not able to set up payment arrangements with the Mortgage Company/Landlord or provide funds for you to keep your home.
HOWEVER, we are able to provide you with the support and guidance to manage the stress and anxiety associated with losing your home. Having the tools to get through this time is important in making a desired change in your life and will help you address issues that impact your well-being.
