Spirit of Peace Counseling
Catholic and Christian Counselors from Spirit of Peace Clinical Counseling offer professional counseling services on campus to Saint Paul parishioners and to our surrounding community. They have a dedicated office located in the Saint Paul parish office building, which is used only for counseling services, but are not directly employed by the parish.
All counselors are licensed by the State of Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, Marriage and Family Therapist Board and combine standard clinical counseling practices with a Christ-centered approach to healing for clients who wish to incorporate their faith in the counseling process.
Many health insurances are accepted, and self-pay options are available to those who do not have insurance.
Those interested in inquiring about counseling services are asked to contact the counselors directly using their contact information provided below.
