Pastoral Care Counseling at HPUMC

Through a covenant relationship between HPUMC and the Pastoral Counseling and Education Center (PCEC www.pcec-counseling.org), Staff Therapist Gregg Medlyn will be providing counseling to individuals, families, and groups at the church on Wednesday afternoons and evenings.  He will also see church members at PCEC’s office on Lemmon Ave. 

The covenant with PCEC calls for Gregg to:
     • Provide professional pastoral counseling and psychotherapy for a standard fee as well as making available a sliding scale fee for persons in financial need.
     • Be sensitive to people’s diverse spiritual needs, values, and traditions and to respect and use the strengths of each person’s faith. PCEC is very committed to integration of religious thought with behavioral science.
     • Provide leadership for church worship and education events.

Gregg received his MS in Psychology, with a specialization in Marriage and Family Counseling, from Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio.  He specializes in premarital and marital counseling, anger management, stress management, anxiety and depression, grief/loss, trauma/crisis, and midlife/aging issues.  He is also currently facilitating the Healing in Men (HIM) group that meets at 6:30 PM on the first and third Monday of each month in Room 378.  HIM is a new group for men who are experiencing an estranged relationship from one or more of their children.
