Samaritan Counseling Services instills hope and transforms lives by providing excellent professional, spiritually integrated counseling to everyone—regardless of faith, background, or ability to pay.
For those who seek this, Spiritually Integrated Therapy is practiced by licensed mental health counselors that have pursued additional training on integrating different beliefs and values in the healing process. Counselors meet clients where they are and are trained to recognize a whole-person approach by nurturing mind, body, spirit, and community.
When someone finds the courage to reach out for help, we say Yes!
The Courage to Ask. The Power to Say YES!
Finding the courage to ask for help is the hardest step. We honor that courage by saying YES! to serving our neighbors in need.
Since 1999, our licensed counselors have provided
Care Without Barriers
The mental health crisis is undeniable. Waitlists stretch for months. Insurance coverage has massive gaps. And many people who need help can't afford it.
Samaritan is different. We’re built on the belief that everyone deserves care—not just those with means. That’s why we serve over 2,500 clients annually, including those requiring reduced-fee sessions through our Client Assistance Fund and hundreds more through completely no-cost sessions.
At the heart of every session is a real person: the single mother who finally found safety for her daughter. The family recovering after losing everything in a hurricane. The teenager learning to manage anxiety. The widow navigating overwhelming grief.
Through partnerships with local nonprofit organizations serving vulnerable populations, Samaritan extends care to those facing the greatest barriers—ensuring that healing reaches every corner of our community.
The counselor shortage is crushing our region. With the local population projected to grow 50% by 2045, we need more professionals—fast.
Samaritan’s solution? Train them ourselves. Our rolling two-year internship program graduates newly licensed counselors annually. Since inception, 25 interns from 12 universities nationwide have completed the program. But It's not enough. To meet the rising demand, we must expand this program.
When we invest in training, we invest in access. When we build capacity, we build hope.
Mental health is an issue that must be addressed, and no one agency can do it alone. Partners and donors who give to the Strategic Agility Fund will ensure critical services are available for any individual in need, for years to come. These funds will be invested and generate income to support the future needs of our community.
Your gift to the Let’s Say YES! Campaign ensures Samaritan can respond with compassion and professional care—today and for decades to come. Whether you support immediate services or invest in long-term sustainability, you’re
In 2024, we set a goal of $4,000,000 for expanded programming and operating support to meet today’s growing community needs. To date, generous donors have committed $3,600,000 toward this goal.
You can help us get to the finish line.
Thank you for saying yes
