Church CounselingChurch Counseling is a ministry that was developed as a way to fulfill part of the Saddleback dream of helping people.

Church Counselors are paraprofessionals (not licensed or paid professional therapists) trained in the skills of listening, clarifying, goal-setting, all undertaken through prayerful submission to the leading of God. We offer a response to your personal, marital or family needs based on the Christian understanding of giving ourselves to our neighbors. There are no fees involved in seeing a lay counselor.

Church Counseling appointments are offered Monday through Thursday from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Saddleback Church’s Ministry Center.

APPOINTMENTS: To schedule an initial appointment, please contact the Counseling Ministry at (949) 609-8387 or by sending an e-mail to kellyh@saddleback.com

If you are presently seeing a church counselor and need to schedule an appointment, please contact Kelly Hartman at (949) 609-8387.
