Counseling Ministry
As part of the commitment of Platte Woods United Methodist Church to tend to the spiritual, emotional and relationship health of its flock, quality professional counseling is available for members. The church has provided its members with a safe, confidential, sacred space to unload their burdens and to work on issues of healing.
What makes this ministry special and unique is the full-time Licensed Professional Counselor on staff here at Platte Woods Church. Vicki Dale, M.S., L.P.C., is a clinical member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy and a National Board-Certified Counselor. She has years of experience in dealing with issues such as marital conflict, extramarital affairs, domestic violence, grief, adolescent struggles, depression, divorce and parenting issues. Vicki is available to provide counseling for individuals, couples, families and groups. Counseling is set up by contacting Vicki directly for a consultation.
Grief Support Group
The Grief Support group has cherished our time wandering through the wilderness of grief together. We are taking a respite for the month of June and will begin meeting again July 15. We will begin a 10-session journey through the book "Living with Loss" by Dan Moseley. This time we will meet in the evening so we hope even those who work during the day can join us. We will meet from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday evenings through September 30. We will not meet on August 5th or 12th so we can enjoy fellowship at the church's August activities. Group members can purchase the book on their own or order one through the group facilitator, Vicki Dale. Vicki can be contacted at vdale@plattewoodshchurch.org or by phone at 816-741-2972 ext. 229. We have all found the support of the group to be precious to us and we invite new members to join us in our journey. For more information about this ministry, please contact Vicki by e-mail or by calling 816-741-2972, ext. 229.
