Pastoral Counseling

America is currently experiencing a mental health crisis. In the past, the church has done very little to address this problem. For the past 15-20 years, the status of mental health in America has drastically declined, especially following the post-Covid season. While the church has not appropriately addressed these mental health struggles, The Rev. Dr. Brian S. McGee offers his life and ministry to being a conduit through which God’s healing grace and mercy transforms people’s lives, in and outside the church.

Strengthening his call to Word and Sacrament ministry in Christ’s Church, Rev. Dr. McGee is a licensed and credentialed pastoral counselor in the National Christian Counselor Association (NCCA). He utilizes a tool called The Arno Profile System, a clinical diagnostic tool created by Drs. Richard and Phyllis Arno that is widely used by the National Christian Counselors Association (NCCA) to assess a person’s God-given temperament. This diagnostic tool, alongside the Holy Scriptures and the power, person and work of the Holy Spirit, equip Rev. Dr. McGee in his pastoral counseling.

Each pastoral counseling session is held at the highest level of confidentiality and can be in-person or online (Zoom, FaceTime, Skype etc.) Pastoral counseling is a ministry of Groveport Zion Lutheran Church, the community of faith where Brian serves as Senior Pastor.

Testimonials

“I was amazed at how quickly Pastor McGee was able to understand how I process emotions, when I struggle to put them into words myself.”

“The APS Profile System was incredibly accurate in describing me. The way that Pastor has used this to address the issues in my relationships is something that has taken other counselors weeks to discover.”

“Rev. Dr. McGee brings a great deal of knowledge and insight into the sessions. Those assets provide him with a skill to identify the root of an issue. He is also has abundant grace and patience; things that can be comforting and encouraging. He is non-judgmental. This provides a comforting environment to be vulnerable. He truly is a friend to the seeker.”
