What Does the "Pastoral" Part of Pastoral Counseling Services Mean?
”Pastoral" means the services we offer are nurturing & sensitive to the spiritual viewpoints and values of the client. An important supporting belief in our "pastoral" work is that an individual's spiritual life may be a valuable resource for resolving conflicts, healing wounds, and creating meaning and value in the lives of persons who seek counseling at Five Gates.
Is My Conversation With My Pastoral Counselor Confidential?
The relationship between you and your pastoral counselor, Rabbi DuBrow, is no less professional that the one you have with a therapist or other healthcare provider. The relationship is quite simple to understand as your pastoral counselor cannot and will not share anything they hear in your sessions. Someone who comes to Five Gates pastoral counseling will receive their assistance behind closed doors where no one will know the true nature of the conversation.
