Counseling
Safe Harbor Ministries exists to provide Spirit-filled, Biblical counseling at affordable rates for individuals, couples, and families.
We have an integrated approach to therapy which combines the best psychology has to offer with the truths of God’s Word and His principles for
victorious living. Counseling is a cooperative venture with responsibility resting on both the counselor and the client. In order to enable us to
work effectively together, we ask that you carefully read the information below.
Qualifications
Beth Scott is a masters level Pastoral Counselor, trained in both Psychology and Biblical Studies. She is an ordained minister with 30 years experience in counseling, teaching, and co-pastoring with her husband.
Confidentiality
All communications between client and counselor are confidential. We are required by law to report suspected child abuse, elder abuse, suicidal threats, and homicidal threats. We may consult other professional from time to time for supervisory purposes. These professionals are bound by confidentiality just as we are. Please be informed that we will not testify in court regarding you or your case.
Fees
The fee per hour of counseling is $60.00. We accept cash and checks only. Because our rates are affordable, we do not accept insurance plans/payments.
Telephone Calls
Should you need to contact your counselor please leave a message on our voice mail. Messages are checked regularly. There is no fee for phone calls less than 20 minutes long. We handle crisis calls first, then proceed to answer calls in the order they are received. Feel free to phone or email again if your call is not returned within 24 hours. 770-535-SAFE [email protected]
Cancellation of Appointment
A charge of one-half of the regular fee will be made for the loss of income if cancellation is not received at least 8 hours prior to your appointment.
Exceptions will be made in cases of sudden illness or an emergency. Please cancel by phone, not Internet.
Referrals
We do not specialize in therapy for children, teens, or addicts. We will refer those clients to other professionals.
Dual Counseling
It is unethical and counterproductive to seek help from two different counselors at the same time. If we discover that you are already seeing another counselor we will ask you to choose.
Distractions
In order for counseling to be effective, we need your undivided attention. Please do not bring babies or children with you to your session and refrain from answering or using your cell phone
Education & Training
As a Christian Institution of learning and training, Safe Harbor Institute is Bible-centered and dedicated to the teaching, equipping, and development of Christians for the work of ministry. Degrees are offered in Ministry as well as Pastoral Counseling. Classes are affordable and structured to accommodate the working student. It is our desire to provide the best instruction, training, and guidance possible in order to see each student “approved unto God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (II Tim. 2:15).
On-going six-month training modules in Spiritual Warfare & Deliverance are taught in an all-day Saturday format (once monthly). Students are taught the importance of spiritual warfare, how to be effective deliverance ministers, and how to identify and safely battle upper-level powers and principalities.
Because our degree programs are exclusively spiritual in focus and content, they meet the religious exemption as a school by the Non-Public Post Secondary Education Commission of the state of Georgia. For more info, visit the tab above; "Home".
Ministers Association
As a 501©3 non-profit ministry, we offer licensure, ordination, and spiritual covering for ministers. An application process must be completed prior to acceptance into the organization and a small yearly fee is required for renewal. This organization meets twice a year and exists to provide on-going accountability, networking, and spiritual guidance.
