Counseling for a wide variety of services are offered at the
First United Methodist Church. Tammie Young is the Lay Associate
Counselor for the church. She has a Master’s degree in Clinical
Psychology and 20 years of Counseling experience. Counseling
consultation is free and on going counseling is on an affordable sliding
fee scale. Counseling is confidential, client centered and
Biblically based. We offer individual, marital and family
counseling as well as group counseling as needed. We often have an
EIU intern working with Tammie.
These interns are in the last
phases of earning their degree and are often able to provide a wide
range of services for our program as well. Most of the interns
serving in our program have a strong interest in pursuing a career in
Christian counseling. Office hours are varied, but primarily on
Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s and Thursday’s. Please call the church
office for an appointment. Jesus said “Come to me, all you who are
weary and burdened and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28.
