About Greenhouse Counseling and Ministries
Greenhouse Counseling & Ministries is a ministry that includes counseling, offering affordable, faith-based, trauma-informed care for people seeking hope, healing, and biblical guidance.
Just as a greenhouse provides a safe environment for plants to take root and thrive, Greenhouse Counseling and Ministries is a place where people can get re-rooted, flourish, and grow. We offer a nurturing, compassionate space where you can be heard, supported, and gently guided toward freedom and restoration.
Our Mission
Our heart is deeply rooted in Isaiah 58:6–7. We exist to loosen the chains of injustice, share our bread with the hungry, shelter the hurting, and restore hope through compassionate care and practical support.
We believe God calls us to help people break free from destructive habits, grow in daily life skills, and learn to depend fully on Him.
Who We Serve
We welcome anyone ages 16 and older, including young adults, women, and men from any faith background. Whether you are walking through crisis or trauma, navigating marital conflict, battling addiction, or seeking guidance for parenting and daily life, we are here to help.
We understand that it can feel intimidating to share your struggles. That is why we are committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and empathetic place where you will be heard and understood without judgment.
