A counseling center for hope and healing.
At Overflow, our goal is to help people through personal and relational struggles and break unhealthy patterns. We provide individual, marriage, and family counseling based on over 30 years of experience. Our approach combines the knowledge of an experienced counselor with the inner resources of each client for a collaborative healing process.
Overflow is a nonprofit Christian organization with the mission of addressing the emotional, relational, and spiritual needs of individuals, marriages, and families. Overflow provides counseling services, coaching, support, and education.
We help people with everyday struggles, both individually and relationally, to find solutions.
We do not diagnose or medically treat mental illness. We will refer to appropriate resources when we assess that such treatment is necessary.
