Pastoral Counseling Services
Dear friends of PCS:
I hope that you and your loved ones are doing well and staying healthy as we move through this difficult public health crisis.
In this time of increased anxiety, I wanted to let you know that PCS continues to be open to serve our community. We are providing teletherapy sessions to clients while we do our part to limit the spread of COVID-19 by temporarily halting face-to face sessions. We offer teletherapy both by telephone and video conferencing to increase access to clients. Both of these methods have been shown to be effective tools for providing counseling, so we are thrilled to have the ability to continue to serve our community in this way.
Mental health services are considered essential, and rightly so, given that this pandemic is causing a very high level of anxiety, depression, and stress at this time.
We are accepting new referrals. If we can be of assistance during these challenging times, please leave a message for us at (603) 627-2702, ext. 137. Although we are conducting business remotely, we are checking our voicemails regularly and we will return your call as soon as we can.
Continued good wishes of safety and health.
Sincerely,
Calvin Genzel, Ph.D.
Executive Director
