Counseling Ministry
As part of the commitment of Platte Woods United Methodist Church to tend to the spiritual, emotional and relationship health of its flock, quality professional counseling is available for members. The church has provided its members with a safe, confidential, sacred space to unload their burdens and to work on issues of healing.
What makes this ministry special and unique is the full-time Licensed Professional Counselor on staff here at Platte Woods Church. Vicki Dale, M.S., L.P.C., is a clinical member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy and a National Board-Certified Counselor. She has years of experience in dealing with issues such as marital conflict, extramarital affairs, domestic violence, grief, adolescent struggles, depression, divorce and parenting issues. Vicki is available to provide counseling for individuals, couples, families and groups. Counseling is set up by contacting Vicki directly for a consultation.
Grief Support Group
The PWUMC Grief Support Group meets Wednesdays, 6 p.m.-7:30 p.m. in room 252 through August 25, 2010. Several members have been wandering through the wilderness of grief with each other for awhile, and new members are always welcome as each session brings new discovery. We learn about new tools and skills to help us on the journey. In our summer session we will discover how writing and guided imagery can be helpful. Writing skills are not required! No one will check spelling, grammar or sentence structure. All you need to bring are a notebook, pen and a Bible. For more information about this ministry, please contact Vicki by e-mail or by calling 816-741-2972, ext. 229.
