The Grove has a professional counseling center as a ministry of our church. We understand people walk through various kinds of suffering, and we have a God who loves us and desires to walk with us through it all. One way He can provide care for us in suffering is through counseling. Our center is a safe place for all people to find healing during difficult seasons of life, and our hope is that it can be a tool that God can use to speak into our lives as we are being changed by God to reach all people.
Therapy
Our Counseling at The Grove Corner team works hard to foster a culture of hope, growth, and encouragement in all that we do. We provide care to individuals (adults and children), couples, and families. We treat a wide range of challenges and mental health issues, including depression, addictions, grief, spiritual concerns, anxiety, and more.
We offer counseling to anyone, regardless of church or religious affiliation.
Once you have been placed under a counselor’s care, you will continue to revisit the same counselor for each session so as to build relationship and trust.
Faith-based counseling is available but not required.
You may make an appointment over the phone by calling us at 951-571-9096 or by filling out the Counseling Interest Form below. We accept payment in the form of cash or card; we do not accept insurance.
