Who We Are
Suited to Meet Your Needs
Founded in 1982, Samaritan Counseling, Guidance, Consulting is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides faith-based psychotherapy to ~1,400 adults, children, and adolescents annually. Therapy is offered virtually and in-person at seven locations in four Western PA counties.
Samaritan also offers educational programs, life coaching, specialized groups, spiritual direction, and services for clergy and congregations. We are nationally accredited through the Solihten Institute in Denver, CO, which is endorsed by the American Medical Association and most major religious denominations.
Samaritan is sustained by fees for service, foundation grants, and donations from individuals, churches, and businesses.
We serve all people without discriminating on any basis, accept most major health insurances, and offer fee subsidies for those who lack the resources to pay. (Learn about our Samaritan Cares program.) Our therapists are state-licensed and experienced in a wide range of diagnoses and treatment methods. As a diverse team, they are able to work well with people of various ages, backgrounds, ethnicities, faiths, and cultures. When you call us for counseling, we pair you with the therapist best suited to meet your health

needs as well as relate to you on a personal, spiritual, and cultural level to the greatest extent possible. You are also free to select the therapist of your choice or change therapists once you have started counseling. Our goal is to help you to meet your unique goals and experience healing and life transformation. (Your insurance and location are also factors.)
Working with a Samaritan therapist, you can rest assured that you are teamed up with a professional who is highly credentialed, provides treatment aligned with the best clinical practices in the mental health field, and is trained in integrating your personal faith beliefs into your care. This faith or spiritual aspect of treatment is driven by you; our therapists will not impose their own or any other beliefs on you. Contact us at 888.200.9746 to learn more.
