The Virginia Institute of Pastoral Care stands as a welcoming pastoral counseling center, designed for individuals from all walks of life. Here, a supportive community awaits—whether one practices a faith tradition or is in a period of exploration, whether they seek guidance in navigating life's next steps or are experiencing feelings of sadness, being stuck, or unhappiness. The counselors are skilled mental health professionals, many of whom also serve as clergy. They prioritize listening over preaching, creating a safe space for all. Comprehensive counseling services are offered for children, families, couples, and adults, including seniors, alongside group therapy options. At VIPCare, counselors hold a belief that counseling fosters a sense of community—sharing personal narratives, both joyous and painful, is fundamental to healing. Listening is viewed as a powerful tool for restoration, and the team is eager to support those in need.
