Scott along with several of his colleagues provide clinical pastoral supervision for those interested in becoming pastoral counselors.
Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) is graduate-level theological and professional education for ministry that usually takes place in a clinical setting. CPE students learn the art and skills of pastoral care and counseling by providing pastoral support to patients, families other clients, and then reflecting on their ministry experiences with a clinical pastoral supervisor and a small group of peers.
In addition to learning skills and expanding knowledge related to ministry in a specialized setting, students are invited to learn about themselves and how their personal histories, faith perspectives and individual gifts influence their pastoral and professional functioning. Students have the opportunity to shape their learning by setting their own learning goals and seeking experiences and resources to assist in meeting those goals.
The clinical method of learning used is a dynamic and creative process that combines action (the actual practice of ministry to persons) and reflection (using resources such as written reports of visits, discussion and feedback from peers and the CPE Supervisor, and application and integration of didactic material). An ongoing learning cycle develops that enables students to develop and expand their ministry skills and knowledge while also deepening their self-awareness and self-knowledge. Out of this expanded self-awareness and ministry experience, new ministry and relational choices and responses are available to the student.
Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. It starts with the heart and leads to transformation. Scott honors the client as the expert in his or her life and work and believes every client is creative, resourceful and whole. Life coaching is an intentional relationship where a coach supports a client in developing vision and goals for their life and utilizes multiple strategies to empower the client to use their personal power to discover their own solutions.
As a pastoral counselor my purpose in life is to journey with individuals in their times of need, crisis, and change toward a personal life transformation for the sake of their health and happiness, to offer hope, and to bring about their healing through pastoral care and counseling. Clients must be not only honest with themselves but open to deep reflection and personal introspection while identifying with their humanity, spirituality, and their personal identity. We believe that life is best lived by grace and we are invested in offering a living experience that reflects human life and faith.
If you have an upcoming event or you plan to take a sabbatical or vacation, Scott is more than happy to fill your pulpit until you return. You can trust him, as he trusts that you will take significant time for rest, relaxation, and reflection. Scott preaches the Word of God boldly, clearly, and practically. He would be honored to fill your pulpit or to preach at a revival, conference, or special event. Won’t you consider contacting him today?

A course designed with the church laity in mind. This twelve to twenty-hour class will give you a foundation for providing pastoral care and understanding how to approach various critical situations in the life of the church and its members.
This course is a continuation of Compassionate Presence and Response intended to help expand an individual lay person’s skills as they provide ongoing lay pastoral care and intervention to others.
Unfortunately many times when a minister enters a crisis, few come to be by their side. This course teaches pastors and other clergy how to appropriately handle trauma when it comes to ministering to colleagues and ministering to themselves. The focus of the course keeps a strong self-concept in mind while remaining faithful to participants’ pastoral identity and calling.
This training will provide keen insight of how to be present in the moment of a patient or family’s crisis. Often times we are compelled to say or do things that do further harm to the situation. Learn what these things are and how we can avoid them to help cultivate wholeness.
As care providers we should constantly and consistently listen to the whole person (mind, body, and soul) using all that we are. Learn how to listen to a person’s needs using your senses and use your perceptions as the guide.
This training provides a basis for providing reflective conversation, hope, and healing to those we care for in times of joy and sadness. Insight into how to soothe those who are grieving will be discussed using such means as reflective dialogue, voice tone, voice rhythm, and encouragement.
Theology plays a major role on how people grieve, but it should also give us insight into how to provide “patient first” care. This session will introduce the participant to multiple religions and cultures perceptions of death and how we can provide quality care. Things include what items should never be removed from a body, which direction to face the patient if at all possible, and how to help families in the mourning process.
A discussion intended to give insight into the mind and hearts of individuals suffering from grief after a traumatic experience and how to appropriately engage them for comfort. We will explore what grief really is, what it does to us and how we can help ourselves and others survive the impact.
Stress First Aid or Operational Stress First Aid is a flexible, multi-step process for the timely assessment and clinical care of stress reactions or injuries in individuals or units with the goals to preserve life, prevent further harm, and promote recovery.
These courses are merely examples of what we can provide. Allow us the opportunity to create a custom learning opportunity just for you!
