About Pearl Counseling
At times in life we are assaulted by the unwelcome intrusion of crisis. The death of a loved one leaves us buried in grief. Painful memories paralyze our present. Illness or injury finds us struggling to adapt. Broken relationships bring feelings of isolation. Sometimes there is not crisis, but a gnawing sense that there is more to life, a longing for deeper self-awareness, more intimate connection with others, and greater freedom to love.
The staff at Pearl Counseling Associates believes that even in the severest of unwanted wounds and problems, a pearl of great value can be formed.
Pearl Counseling Associates (PCA) is an association of independent Christian practitioners who function as a multidimensional counseling team. Our counselors share a common faith and trust in Jesus Christ and the infallibility of the Bible. The focus of PCA is healing of the distressed life and the troubled soul through the healthy integration of spirituality, theology, relational principles, and clinical excellence.

Find inner peace
True peace often emerges from life’s deepest wounds. Just as a pearl is formed when an oyster surrounds an intrusive grain of sand with layers of Mother‑of‑Pearl, our own pain can be transformed into something precious. What begins as injury becomes a source of wonder and beauty — a gem of great value.
