The goals of Pastoral Counseling range from the relief of symptoms to significant life change based on acquiring a better understanding of one’s personal, interpersonal, and social circumstances. Pastoral Counseling responds to the spiritual and theological needs of a person who recognizes that values, beliefs, and religious affiliations make a difference in the process of changing and growing, and who want these factors to be considered in their counseling.

The method of treatment is based on standard practices common to the training and experience of counselors, marriage and family therapists, social workers and pastoral counselors. Michele Jackson works within the standards and ethical guidelines of New York State licensing laws and of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors.
