Pastoral Counseling Centers of Tennessee, Inc.
MISSION STATEMENT
The Pastoral Counseling Centers of Tennessee exists to restore lives to wholeness – mentally, emotionally and spiritually. In order to accomplish this important work we seek to…
Provide excellent professionally licensed psychotherapy to any individual, couple or family in our community.
Offer help and healing from a heart of compassion and personal faith that accepts and respects the beliefs of every individual with whom we work.
Raise and provide financial support to help those who cannot otherwise afford care.
CORE VALUES
The work of the Pastoral Counseling Centers of Tennessee (PCCT) is grounded in the compassionate and healing nature of God. We are called to embody God’s healing presence to people of all faith traditions and those who claim no faith tradition. This means we seek to:
Meet each client, colleague, and student with compassion, respect, and honesty.
Accept and include each person as a reflection of the rich diversity of God’s creation.
Join with each client in their journey to wholeness, focusing on their needs, and going wherever their process of self-discovery and renewal leads.
Provide for each client the highest professional standards through rigorous training, certification, licensure, and peer consultation.
From the Executive Director As we moved from 2013 to 2014, we were celebrating the growth and success of our organization. In the areas of finances, board development, and staff we have continued to grow and improve. We have not been without a few challenges, but once again as we enter 2015 we are excited about what this year will bring. In 2014, PCCT provided just under 4,200 hours of counseling. This was a decrease from 2013 and was less than we expected; however, four thousand plus hours is not insignificant when we remember that each of those hours represents our investment in the life of an individual, a couple, or a family who is struggling and in search of hope. As an organization, we have developed a plan that will help us continue to reach out to the community and to cultivate a larger awareness of our services. The stories that I hear every day of the work that is done in our offices give me the conviction that more people in Middle Tennessee need to be aware of this amazing work. As in the past, we need your support to help provide counseling to those who cannot afford our regular fee. We were blessed beyond measure in 2014 to receive a grant from the Baptist Healing Trust for $50,000 to help provide counseling for our clients who require maximum financial assistance. This grant will continue through the first half of 2015. Our clients come to us for marital and relationship problems (including parent-child difficulties), depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, sexual difficulties, spiritual difficulties, and a host of other mental and emotional complaints. On November 14, 2014, we held our second art fundraiser event, InSight: an Evening of Art for Healing Hearts, featuring professional photography and a juried photo contest. The contest brought hundreds of entries from countries around the world. The top 25 pieces were displayed and auctioned off with other pieces from local professional photographers at a reception held at a Cumberland Art Gallery in Green Hills. In addition to this event, we had events in Clarksville, Murfreesboro, and Franklin. We have continued to grow in the amount of money received from local grants. Unfortunately, in 2014 we lost our Development Director, Michelle Burks. We are so grateful for the growth that occurred under her time at PCCT and wish her well in her future endeavors. In December, we welcomed Taylor Cochran as our new Development Director. We are excited about the work we are already doing together to strengthen PCCT. We finished 2014 in a strong financial position and, thanks to a generous gift from an anonymous donor, we were actually able to provide our staff with end-of-the-year bonuses.
We were excited this year to be a finalist for a Center for Nonprofit Management’s Salute to Excellence Award. The Pastoral Counseling Centers was one of two finalists for the Baptist Healing Trust “Compassionate Care Award” that recognizes the compassion care that is integrated into our organizational structures and the way that we interact with one another within our staff. The nomination for this particular award was very gratifying because it reflects the fact that what our staff does for our clients is about a way of being, reflected in our interactions with one another and not just something that we enact for our clients. Though the Award went to the very deserving Nashville CARES organization, we were honored to be at the awards banquet and to bring home the $7,500 prize for the runner-up. Our nomination video is available to view on our website. During 2014, we saw an increase in the size of our Board of Directors. While some of our existing board members have now rotated off, we continue to recruit and develop some of the best board members in PCCT’s history. The board, working with consultant Lydia Cox, continued to finalize the strategic plan completed in 2013. Lydia’s assistance in organization and planning was vital to our ongoing success. Wells Johnson officially took the role of President of the board and has been providing excellent leadership. During 2015, we hope to continue to grow and strengthen our Advisory Councils in Murfreesboro, Williamson County, and Clarksville. There are many opportunities to serve as members of these groups or to serve on a committee without becoming a full member of the board or a council. Please contact me if you are interested in possibly serving. In the spring of 2014, PCCT held a commencement ceremony for a group of students from our Pastoral Care Specialist Training program. This program is designed to cultivate and enhance the skills in pastoral care and short-term counseling for local congregational and community leaders and provides instruction in how to provide supportive and short-term care as well as how to help care receivers to find longer-term help when necessary. “Pastoral Care Specialist” is a membership
category in the American Association of Pastoral Counselors and our program is an approved training program for AAPC. We will begin the program with new cohort of students in the fall of 2015. Please visit our website for more information and for how to apply. In 2014, we were approached by a volunteer from the Davidson County Chapter of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (or NAMI). NAMI wanted to create a program to help educate congregations about mental illness and how to better address it in the church. We worked with them to create a program called, “In the Spirit of Awareness.” The program includes information to better understand mental illness, how it develops, how affects families, and how it relates to a person’s concept of God. The program includes lectures from NAMI and PCCT and personal sharing by a person with a mental health diagnosis and his father. We were privileged to be able to make this presentation in Franklin and to the staff of Catholic Charities. We already have dates scheduled for 2015 and would love to schedule this event for your congregation or group. Finally, for 29 years the main office of PCCT has resided in the Fitzpatrick house behind Vine Street Christian Church. They have provided this space to us without rent, and we have enjoyed a long partnership with the congregation that gave birth to our organization. Their contribution to our ministry from beginning to now has been invaluable. For many in our community, the name Vine Street and Pastoral Counseling Centers of Tennessee have been synonymous. We cannot express our gratitude for this incredible blessing. In the coming year (or so), Vine Street will be re-purposing a portion of their property, which will involve the demolition of the Fitzpatrick House, so we will lose the space. PCCT has not yet found a suitable home for our operation’s center, and we continue to explore our options. We welcome your help in identifying options and possibilities. Please contact me at corear@pcctinc.org or (615) 383-2115, Ext. 24 if you need additional information. We thank you for your referrals, your prayers and your financial support of our important work in the community. We continue our mission of providing counseling for all, enrichment education for clergy, congregations, and the community, and clinical training for future Pastoral Counselors. We welcome you to check out our website (www.pcctinc.org), join our newsletter email list there, keep up with the exciting things that will be happening here in the coming months, look for training opportunities and volunteer opportunities, or make a donation.

COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM Our Community Access Program is designed
to assist clients who require the maximum financial assistance with our fee. We offer assistance on a sliding scale; however, many of our most vulnerable and needy clients cannot afford even the minimum scale fee ($30). In 2014, roughly 40% of client sessions were billed at $30 or less.

Center Reports
Clarksville | First Christian Church, 516 Madison Street, Clarksville, TN 37040 Dr. Craig Wascovich, Center Coordinator In 2014, the Pastoral Counseling Center of Clarksville provided 457 hours of counseling at an average fee of $67.51. Based on financial need, we saw more low fee and no fee clients. Because we view our work as an extension of the ministry of the church, we remain committed to turning no one away from our center because of their inability to pay. Thankfully, ongoing financial support from our supporting congregations and a grant of more than $21,000 from the Montgomery County Community Health Foundation allowed us to meet clients at the point of their financial need. The Clarksville Advisory Council continues to provide local leadership and to develop innovative ways to increase local fundraising. In 2014, the Pastoral Counseling Center of Clarksville held a fundraiser, titled "Voices in the Vineyard," at the Beachaven Winery. Beachaven has a stage on their grounds and host "Jazz on the Lawn," in the summer and fall months, which draws thousands of people every weekend. The Winery has invited us to host "Voices in the Vineyard" on an annual basis, and we hope to build this into a successful fundraiser. In addition to being a gracious host, Beachaven donated a percentage of their profits from wine sales on the day of the fundraiser. For 27 years, the First Christian Church of Clarksville has provided office space for our center free of charge. We are grateful for their continued support and look forward to serving the Clarksville community with individual, couples, and family therapy in 2015.

Nashville | Vine Street Christian Church, 100 Vine Court, Nashville, TN 37205 Dr. Steve Gillespie, Center Coordinator The main office of the Pastoral Counseling Centers of Tennessee (PCCT) is located at the Vine Street Christian Church in Nashville. This location remains the busiest of our six Centers, and many of our counselors spend at least one day per week seeing clients at this location. In 2014 our counselors conducted 1,596 sessions of counseling. With financial assistance to those who could not afford our regular fee of $125 per session, the average fee paid by clients was actually $45.66. Sixty-four percent of the cost of counseling had to be raised by the contributions of churches, individuals, and grants within the local community. Raising these funds continues to be a challenge, but we are indebted to the generosity and altruism of those who believe in and who contribute to the need for first quality counseling affordable to all in the Nashville area. The Vine St. Center houses Director and support staff who work diligently with the Board of Trustees to manage the financial, fund raising, and record keep duties that allow us to do what we do so well. Currently our clinical staff consists of Licensed Clinical Pastoral Therapists, Marriage and Family Therapists, Professional Counselors, Social Workers, an Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor, and a Psychologist. Each of these professionals is committed to our mission, most have theological education, and many are ordained. The Vine Street Center is the place where all of our counselors gather on a weekly basis for psychiatric consultation, case presentations, and theological reflection upon the work we do together. We are proud of the professional diversity of our staff and of their commitment to wisely integrate the resources of the various faith traditions. There is no staff better trained to integrate the spiritual and the psycho-social dimensions in an attitude of respect for our clients’ individual belief systems. In addition to our clinical work, PCCT continues to grow in our capacity as an educational institution through our training programs. Through the supervision of five supervisors or supervisors-in-training, PCCT is able to provide practicum and internship opportunities for master level and Ph.D. students at Trevecca, Lipscomb, Vanderbilt, Argosy, and Loyola Seminary in Chicago. A few of these students have been hired after their training, and two were promoted to site coordinators at the end of 2014, Vanessda Londino at the Vine Street Center and Barbara Tampkin at the North Center. We have two supervisors for marriage and family therapy, one for social work, and all five are available for supervision of clinical pastoral therapists and professional counselors (50% of the requirements LPC’s). In our advanced supervision program, we supervise persons at the centers and in the community who are
pursuing state licensure as LCPT, LMFT, LCSW and LPC (50% of requirements). Another important training we offer is the Pastoral Care Specialist Program which seeks to help clergy and other church leaders improve their pastoral care skills. This program meets weekly for nine months and involves a commitment of three contact hours per week in didactic sessions and in consultation with two pastoral care consultants. Our next program will begin in fall of 2015. Graduates will receive a certificate as pastoral care specialist which is recognized by the American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC). These pastors and spiritual leaders return to their various places of ministry better prepared to provide pastoral care in an ethical and professional way. We hope to begin an advanced program in pastoral care and consultation for clergy soon. We are grateful for the in-kind gift of the Vine Street Christian Church and for their generosity over the 29 years of our existence. We are also grateful to all the other contributing churches, generous individuals, grantors, and clients for the continued ministry to all persons regardless of faith, socio-economic status, race, or sexual orientation. Thanks to you we continue to maintain a strong counseling, educational, and spiritual presence in the heart of Nashville and surrounding towns.
Brentwood | Church of the Advent, 5501 Franklin Pike, Nashville, TN 37220 Carol Smith, Center Coordinator The Brentwood office has remained consistent in the care we offer in the community and has experienced some staff changes in 2014. We are delighted to welcome Christen Thorpe to the Brentwood staff. Christen has a passion for working with children and adolescents. Rachel Peavyhouse Fay has minimized her client load to take on a fulltime position in the business community. We wish her well and miss her. Steve Gillespie continues to see clients in Brentwood one day a week, offering his wisdom as a seasoned therapist. Steve specializes in working with couples in distress as well as individuals who have experienced trauma. He is certified in Critical Incident Stress management as well as in sex therapy. Carol Smith continues to be the coordinator for the Brentwood office and sees clients there two days a week. Her areas of focus are premarital guidance, life stage adjustment, relationship issues, grief and trauma. Supervision of practicum students from local universities as well as therapists seeking state licensure is also part of our service to the community through the Brentwood office. We are grateful to The Church of the Advent for continuing to host the Brentwood office. We join them in welcoming their new permanent rector, Father Brian McVey. We are glad to partner with Fr. Brian and the Advent to meet the needs of our community. Twenty-one churches were named as home to the clients who were served in the Brentwood office. We are grateful to those churches and others in the community who partnered with us to bring hope and healing to the hurting among us.

Franklin | St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 506 Fair Street, Franklin, TN 37064 Carol Smith, Center Coordinator The Franklin office serves clients across the southern part of Williamson county and beyond. Carol Smith continues as the coordinator while Chris O’Rear, Dan Marshall, and Barbara Green work parttime in the Franklin office. These therapists work with a wide array of mental health concerns such as addiction, grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, life stage transition, and relationship issues. Supervision of practicum students from local universities as well as therapists seeking state licensure is also a part of our service to the community through the Franklin office. We are grateful to our host congregation, St. Paul’s Episcopal, for their partnership in the mission and ministry of PCCT. This year we have joined St. Paul’s in saying goodbye to Fr. Bob Cowperthwaite at his retirement. Fr. Bob was instrumental in opening the Franklin office and we are indeed grateful for his support through the years. We are glad to welcome Rev. Dr. J. Wesley Smith as Interim Rector. In May, St. Paul’s hosted a series of meetings co-led by NAMI and PCCT, raising awareness of mental health concerns and resources in our community. Working with the Williamson Advisory Council and St. Paul’s, PCCT hosted a breakfast for local clergy in February and a post-race breakfast for the Franklin Half Marathon race in June. The Men of St. Paul’s generously provided the breakfast for both those events. We are very grateful to the chair of the council, Rev. Mother Tracy Wells Miller, for also leading us into the arena of races for fundraising. We plan to host our own inaugural Friends for Healing 5k & 10k on March 21, 2015. Twenty-three churches were named as home to the clients who were served in the Franklin office. We are grateful to those churches and others in the community who partnered with us to bring hope and healing to the hurting among us.
Murfreesboro| First Baptist Church, 200 East Main St., Murfreesboro, TN 37130 Karen Potratz, Center Coordinator The Murfreesboro satellite office had a very positive year. Much of this success is due to a strong Advisory Council, which represents a variety of supporting congregations. Two additional congregations were added this year, bringing the total number of congregations to eight. These include First Baptist (our host congregation), First United Methodist (which hosted our Annual luncheon), Central Christian (which hosted our SOS group), First Presbyterian, St. Paul’s Episcopal, Grace Lutheran, First Baptist East Castle, and Trinity United Methodist (which hosted a community enrichment event). The Advisory Council planned an informational/fundraiser luncheon around the theme of “Wellness,” which was attended by about 130 people. The luncheon included a silent auction and raised approximately $5,800. We could not have ministered to our clients in the 578 counseling sessions we conducted this year without this financial support. The new members on the Advisory Council have added new energy and ideas and we are exploring new avenues of ministry for the coming year. Our counseling team remained stable this year and is composed of Karen Potratz, Jeff Fryer, and Claudia Avila-Lopez. Finally, in 2014 we partnered with Family and Children’s Agency of Nashville to continue to provide leadership for the Survivors of Suicide Group for Rutherford County. This has been a collaborative work that has made it possible to increase from bimonthly to weekly groups to address the needs of those who have lost loved ones to suicide.

North |
First Presbyterian Church, 172 West Main Street, Hendersonville, TN 37075 St. Joseph Catholic Church, 1217 Gallatin Pike South, Madison, TN 37115
Chris O’Rear, Executive Director For the past several years, the North Center of the Pastoral Counseling Centers has served individuals, couples, and families in partnerships with churches through northern Davidson county, Sumner, Robertson, and Wilson counties. We are especially grateful to the congregations of First Presbyterian Church in Hendersonville and St. Joseph Catholic Church in Madison for hosting our offices. In 2014, Tammy Beeman served as the Coordinator of this Hendersonville office, where she continues to see clients. We provided only about 75 hours of counseling in the Hendersonville and 300 in our Madison office last year. This reflects a drop in the utilization of our services in many of our offices; however, we will be working diligently in 2015 to reach these communities. We are proud to announce that we have a new full-time counselor in the Hendersonville office. Barbara Tamkin is a recent graduate from Trevecca Nazarene University’s Marriage and Family Therapy program. She comes to psychotherapy as a second career after years in Human Resources. Barbara brings a variety of experiences to her work in therapy and helps provide resources to local congregations in pastoral care, leadership development and conflict resolution. She has also proven herself as a caring and effective therapist as an intern with the Pastoral Counseling Centers for the past year. If you or someone you know would like to schedule an appointment with Barbara, you can contact her at (615) 383-2115, Ext. 56. Claudia Avila Lopez is our Coordinator of the Madison office and she may be reached at (615) 383-2115, Ext. 75 y en Español, Ext. 63. Barbara, Claudia, and I are all available to visit with your congregation, business, or group about the services of the Pastoral Counseling Center or to help arrange training programs on a variety of topics. We continue to live our mission of seeking to embody God’s healing presence in the area north of Nashville and are grateful for those who have helped make this a reality for so long. In 2014, we provided more than $31,700 in financial assistance to the clients seen in these offices. We ask that if this service is meaningful to you and your community, consider ways you can help us connect with the community through educational programs, teaching, or preaching and help support us with your financial gifts. We covet your prayers for this important work and appreciate your financial support.

Friends for Healing exists both to promote awareness of the services offered by the Pastoral Counseling Centers of Tennessee and to provide for the longterm financial stability necessary for PCCT to continue growing and serving the Middle Tennessee community. The Pastoral Counseling Centers of Tennessee has provided professional and theologically integrated psychotherapy to Middle Tennesseans continuously since 1985. For many of the people we serve, we provide hope, healing, and growth in ways that are life-giving and life-saving. While many in our community can afford the regular costs of counseling, PCCT is committed to making our counseling services available to anyone in need without discrimination regarding their beliefs or ability to pay. Generous contributions from our supporters — individuals, congregations, businesses, foundations, and the community — help us provide financial assistance to many of the clients we serve.
Join us in serving your friends, family, and community — become a Friend!
