Samaritan Counseling & Growth Center was founded in 1974. It operated under the name of Pastoral Counseling Foundation. Prior to 1974, pastoral counseling in the Bartlesville/Dewey area was provided by individual pastors and priests within the confines of churches primarily for members of their congregations.

 

At present, the Center is sponsored by 11 Bartlesville churches of various denominations. The Center is reviewed and accredited by the Samaritan Institute on a four year cycle. The American Medical Association, The American Association of Pastoral Counselors, and The President’s Commission on Mental Health have endorsed the Samaritan Institute.

 

The mission of Samaritan Counseling & Growth Center is to provide affordable counseling services that integrate body, mind and spirit to persons seeking opportunities for growth and healing. Our purpose is to function as a natural extension of the Church’s pastoral ministry by promoting spiritual, emotional and relational health for individuals, couples, families and institutions in our area.
