Serving greater Pittsburgh since 1964, the Pittsburgh Pastoral Institute exists to enhance the health of individuals, families, and communities through an interfaith ministry of counseling and education that integrates the resources of faith and the behavioral sciences. Pittsburgh Pastoral Institute builds on the strengths and resilience of individuals, families, and communities to improve the health, wellness, and quality of life of all those whom it serves.    The Pittsburgh Pastoral Institute began with a mission to train clergy in the ministry of pastoral counseling. In the last 50 years, a great deal has changed both in ministry and behavioral health treatment, yet our commitment to training remains strong. We offer continuing education for professionals, work with graduate students and with clergy to bring spiritually integrated behavioral health knowledge and partner with neighborhood organizations. Pittsburgh Pastoral Institute also provides unique services to faith leaders in the form of support groups, educational workshops held at churches, psychological testing for candidates for ordination, consulting and Clinical Pastoral Education.   Pittsburgh Pastoral Institute is an interfaith counseling and psychotherapy center that integrates the behavioral sciences and resources of a client's faith. Counseling services include individual, couple, family, and group counseling. While every experience is unique, our overall approach seeks to provide an emphatic relationship in which clients can safely and freely discuss their problems and concerns.  The main goal is for client and therapist to work together to resolve them as far as possible, along with promoting personal growth, self-awareness, and meaningful relationships with the important people in the client's life. This is a "client-centered" process in which the client determines the particular areas of discussion and exploration on a given session. It also is a "faith-friendly" process in which spiritual and religious concerns can be discussed, if a client chooses to do so.
