Our Story
Who We Are
At our practice in Greenwood, in Indiana, we believe you’re the keeper of your story and the expert on your own life.
In 2023, we changed our name from Southside Pastoral Counseling to Peace Family Counseling to make an important distinction: while we offer Christian counseling for those who request it, faith-based support is never assumed or imposed.
Our therapists welcome all backgrounds, beliefs, and walks of life. We’ll meet you where you are, without judgment, and walk alongside you on your journey.
Sometimes, life’s challenges can leave you feeling defeated—but we’re here to help you find the tools you need to gain clarity and balance. We are fully committed to helping you live your own story with restored peace and relationships.
Our Mission
We are committed to holding healing space for you and what you truly need. We believe your story is unique, shaped by circumstances only you have experienced—and we want to help you discover the next best steps toward finding healing within the grounds of your life.
You are the one living your life—not us—so we will never tell you what to do. The decisions are always yours to make; our role is simply to offer guidance and support.
Our Core Values
Relationships: The heart of who we are—as people and as a community of therapists. We help people heal their relationships with themselves and others.
Integrity: Our therapists are authentic and genuine—both inside and outside the therapy office. You will always meet the same version of your therapist.
Listening: As therapists in training, we learned by listening to our supervisors. Now, we continue to listen to, learn from, and support each other’s growth as therapists.
Service: We believe that serving others keeps us rooted and grounded in the human experience. We serve our local church, community, and our clients by showing up and listening.
Wisdom: To us, wisdom comes from God and our own spiritual and emotional growth, which go hand in hand. We continue to learn through books, podcasts, and from each other.
Discernment: We take the time to truly understand what’s happening in your life. We never rush the process, and we always ground it in helping you achieve your therapy goals.
Reliability: We know that when you’re hurting, you want someone you can count on. We show up for our clients with consistency and predictability. If schedule changes or cancellations become necessary, we will always let you know and work with you to adjust accordingly.
