Supporting Clergy and Congregational Leadership

In times of crisis, many people turn to their spiritual community for support and guidance. Our Congregational Care & Consulting services are designed to meet the critical needs and challenges of spiritual leaders and congregations in an ever-changing and complex world, most recently impacted by a global pandemic.

The pandemic has accelerated a variety of changes in our world, and the need for adaptability and flexibility are ever-increasing for leaders. Our consulting services include coaching key congregational leaders on how to develop the critical interpersonal and self-awareness skills required to manage people and operate successfully amid rapid organizational change.

In addition to assisting clergy in becoming more effective leaders, SamaraCare helps congregations with strategic planning and conflict resolution, so their ministries can excel in serving their communities. We support clergy through expert leadership coaching and training. This helps them navigate congregational conflict and develop growth strategies while fostering their own spiritual development. Clergy are faced with the same volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity that the rest of the world faces. They need support in implementing adaptive change while keeping spiritualty in the foreground.

With over 50 years of experience, SamaraCare has come to understand clergy and congregations extremely well. Using effective leaderships models and our vast experience, SamaraCare can help clergy thrive in their ministry.

Telehealth Options

In-Person and Virtual Counseling

We offer both in-person and/or virtual counseling sessions. Both are HIPAA-compliant. Virtual (on-line) therapy consists of meeting with your therapist via a video conferencing platform on your computer, tablet or phone. Virtual counseling (teletherapy) is a relatively new way to receive care. If you’re thinking about it, here are some benefits to consider:

  • Convenience in meeting with a therapist from the comfort of your own home
  • No time spent traveling to appointments
  • Access to care providers with specialized expertise regardless of their geographic location

Many insurance companies now cover virtual therapy. Always check with your insurance provider regarding your coverage for mental health services.
