University Presbyterian Church

The UPC Counseling Ministry exists to shine the light of the gospel into all the places of our lives. UPC offers a counseling ministry because we believe that the gospel is a vibrant, healing force that can and should be applied to our life, relationships, thoughts, feelings and behaviors.  

Who? 

Many people in various stages of life have found counseling helpful. Counseling services are available for adults, adolescents and children. The need for counseling is dependent upon the issues involved. For some, a short stint in counseling helps provide perspective on a difficult topic. For others, more time is needed to help facilitate healing in the places that have hurt us for so long. 

Why? 

The topics which can be addressed in counseling include but are not limited to:

• Communication
• Relationships
• Discovering our Strengths
• Addiction
• Abuse
• Fear and Anxiety
• Depression
• Work/Life Stress
• Sexuality
• And Many More

The UPC Counseling ministry exists as a resource for counseling and about counseling. This means that you are encouraged to contact Johnny LaLonde regarding:

• Scheduling counseling for yourself
• Resources for specific counseling needs
