COUNSELING CONNECT
Get the care you need
Counseling Connect
Finding professional mental health services can be difficult and our church is here to support you! In addition to our own Pastoral Counseling Center, PRUMC has now created a database to help our members access additional clinical care, counseling services, and treatment for a variety of mental health concerns. Request a referral and we will provide you with a personalized list of care providers that best match you or your family’s needs.
To get started, submit a request below or call Rev. Emily Miles at 404.240.8272.
At PRUMC, we care about your wellbeing in mind, body, and spirit.
We have a dedicated ministry of health and wellness to help you on along the way. Life is full of unexpected challenges, and we want you to know you do not need to face them alone.
