Mental Health is important to all of us. First Lutheran Church supports this by serving as one of five sites of Pastoral Counseling Service of the South Shore. Their office is located in the lower level of the church next to the preschool. PCSSS is distinctive from other counseling agencies because its professionally licensed therapists are trained in Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy, meaning they are skilled in caring for people of faith according to the client’s interests.
