Pre-Marriage Counseling -Daybreak uses the PREPARE/ENRICH Program to provide pre-marriage seminars to couples who are referred by their marrying pastor.
The process begins with the couple completing a standardized questionaire focusing on issues that are highly significant for successful relationships (for example, communication, conflict resolution, sexual expectations, role relationships, financial management, etc.), as well as assessing personality types and family backgrounds and expectations. PREPARE is statistically very successful at discriminating between couples that are more likely to get divorced from those that are more likely to be happily married (80 - 85% accuracy). Taking the assessment and reviewing the results can provide couples with a very realistic picture of what areas of their relationships are strong points and which areas require extra care and attention.

Couples - Married or dating couples may wish to identify certain areas of their relationships that cause stress and inhibit desired growth and development.

Individuals - Persons facing a difficulty or conflict in life may wish to collaborate with a professional counselor in order to gain perspective on the situation and explore options for change. Typical problems include depression, anxiety, bereavement, transitions, relationship difficulties, trauma or abuse, addictions, and questions about personal meaning in life.

Pastoral Counseling - Pastoral counseling is a discipline that seeks to integrate psychotherapy and spirituality. We are living in an era of renewed understanding of the importance of positive spiritual practices to one's overall well-being. Our clinicians have been trained to address mental health issues while at the same time inviting clients to explore how their spiritual beliefs might impact their current situation. We help clients explore how the resources of their tradition may be called upon to promote healing of mind/body/spirit. At Daybreak we seek to honor the religious beliefs and values that our clients bring with them, with the goal of being a companion on a journey of discovery. Becoming aware of one's core values and beliefs can be very empowering, regardless of whether those beliefs are formally or informally practiced, or whether one is Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Eastern-oriented or uncertain about spiritual beliefs. The pastoral counselor's goal is to provide the context in which one can examine one's connection to a reality greater than self and renew meaning, hope and wholeness in one's life.
