Professional Counseling List:
We have a list of professional, licensed Christian therapists in this area that we recommend to couples in crisis. Each counselor sets up their own pay scales and processes. Although they agree with Crossroads Christian Church’s foundational beliefs, Crossroads is not responsible for the results of therapy. For this list please contact Jeanette at 951-737-4664 x3044.
Marriage Mentors:
These are not professional therapists, but are available for prayer and encouragement. Sometimes you just need to know that there is someone to help you along the sometimes difficult journey we call marriage.
National Institute of Marriage:
Intensives (founded by Smalley Ministries) – These are 2 or 4-day intensives for couples in crisis. Contact www.nationalmarriage.com for further info.
The Third Option:
A nationally-based program for all couples, but particularly helpful for couples that are struggling. There are 14 different meetings that cover topics such as, Ending the Blame Game, Handling Anger, Speaking the Truth in Love, Learning to Fight Fair, Practicing Forgiveness and Repair. The closest chapter is in Yorba Linda at the Richfield Community Center 5312 Richfield Rd. They meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month at 7pm.
