Welcome to the St. James "Family Counseling Center!" We are so glad that you have taken a major step in providing you and your family with information and help to be a healthy family both emotionally and spiritually.
     Our services are offered by appointment for individuals and family sessions. We also offer support group sessions such as marriage, sexual addictions, substance abuse, etc., which are scheduled on an ongoing basis. We offer marriage and gender specific retreats during the course of the year.
     Our staff is professionally trained and is fully committed to helping families stay together and bringing them together when life's challenges lead down that "bumpy" road.
We are committed to wellness and wholeness of the family unit; however we do recognize that some cases may be outside of our expertise, and we would then recommend other resources for further counsel.

What is St. James Family Counseling Center?

     St. James Family Counseling Center (FCC) was founded by a husband and wife team, Reverends Gerald and Margaret Bailey. The Bailey's compassion and desire to serve the community and more specifically, families, was instrumental in opening FCC. Seeing the devastation of high divorce rates, drug-related crime and HIV/AIDS in our communities they asked the proverbial question, "what can we do, Lord?" and thus the St. James FCC, "an anchor of hope". Having experienced some of these problems in their own families they have a heart for the work.
     Its mission is to provide counseling assistance to the people of Faith and community at large, regardless of race, creed or color and financial status.
     St. James FCC is a pastoral-counseling agency in which emotional health is approached by using both psychological and theological perspectives, individual and group counseling to facilitate stability and wellness.
     FCC's chief aim is to empower people of God with the truths of their faith, to encourage them with the reality that they are loved and worthy of abundant life, and to enlighten them with God's Word and His promises as a part of their healing process.

Objective:
• To provide pastoral leadership and counseling assistance to    individuals, groups, couples, and families who are in crisis.
• To assist those in need of self-esteem and character    affirmation, and facilitate stability and wellness.
• To identify others with HIV/AIDS, alcohol, drug and sexual    addiction problems and support them in treatment and    recovery.
