Appointments

We do not consider our Counseling Center to be a crisis center, but rather, a short-term biblical counseling facility. If this is an emergency, please dial 911 or Magellan of Arizona at 1.800.564.5465 or Empact at 480.784.1500.

For an intake appointment, please call our office manager at 480.824.7239. The demand is great for our no-fee services; therefore, the wait for an intake appointment may be quite lengthy. Should there be a cancellation, we may be able to get you in sooner than scheduled.

After completing the intake information and appropriate forms, you will have an appointment with an intake counselor who will make an assessment in order to make an appropriate referral to one of the following:

Stephen Minister
Lay counselor
Intern or Practicum Student
Volunteer licensed professional counselor
Staff licensed professional counselor
Outside professional counselor
Support groups

Our short-term counseling model (8–10 weeks) applies to a lay, pastoral or professional counselor who resides in our facility. We regret that we are unable to promise a specific counselor.

Forms

Open the appropriate set of forms.
Print them on your printer.
Fill them out and sign, and then bring them into your scheduled appointment with you.

Couples Counseling

If you are seeking couples’ counseling (relationship, marital, etc.), please print out two intake forms: one for you and your partner.

Adults (18 and older)

SBC Biblical Counseling Center Cancellation Policy
