Volunteer Counselors Are Here to Meet With You
Good Samaritan Counselors are volunteers who donate their time to walk with you on your mental health journey. Some of our counselors are interns from local universities earning their degrees, and some of our counselors are lay-counselors who graduated our intensive three-year certification.
All of our counseling is offered on a donation-basis. We do not bill insurance or turn anyone away based on their ability to donate.

A Word From Our Founder
"Good Samaritan Ministries is a non-profit counseling ministry dedicated to relational healing. We willingly have agreed to not only pay the first price by stopping to help, but also the second price for the years that may be required to complete the healing. A person who comes to see us for counseling will be in a relationship story until wholeness has been restored. For some, it may be just once or twice. For others, it might be several years. We are unafraid to help complete the difficult tasks of healing and development.
We consider Good Samaritan Ministries to be faith in action; an organization that is available to God's work. An organization that is flexible -- active and alive. It is our desire to complete our work in a way that is pleasing to God, and for the benefit of mankind. No one is turned away, and a person of any background, ability, function, or dysfunction may come. All are welcome to stop and meet with us and complete the work of entering into the Kingdom of God."
- Bettie Mitchell, in her book Who Is My Neighbor
