Life can be tough! The Fair Oaks Presbyterian Church Counseling Ministriy is dedicated to help all kinds of people through life's struggles. Life is filled with predictable but challenging transitions like parenting, surviving adolescence, empty nesting, becoming a grandparent, retirement, moving . . . just to name a few.  The list seems endless. Sometimes life throws us a curve and we have difficulty coping with death, addictions, adultery, serious illnesses and other life crises. Whether you need counseling as an individual, marital, family or for children, we are standing by to help. Please reach out and call – we are ready and willing to help you find solutions and relief.

Here's our mission: We are helpers who guide people to the ultimate healer, God. By integrating biblical principles with counseling, we utilize basic elements of the Christian faith: confession, forgiveness, mercy and grace – all essential components to better living. We strive to create an environment of grace where people in our congregation and the community may experience acceptance, encouragement, redirection, hope for change, and a vision for Gods power and purpose in their lives.
