Mission Statement:

By providing psychotherapy to people in need and education for congregations and pastors, Lutheran Counseling Network is an instrument of God’s grace which strengthens and brings healing to individuals, couples and families so that they might in turn be instruments of God’s grace.

Who We Are:

Lutheran Counseling Network is a non-profit organization of dedicated professionals.  All LCN staff members have a masters or doctoral degree.  Our professional staff observes a strict code of professional conduct.  We have offices scattered through the Puget Sound area.

What We Do:

LCN is an extension of the church’s ministry to the community. We provide therapy for individuals, couples, families and groups addressing such areas as depression, anxiety, recovery from trauma, relationship/marriage issues, grief and loss, life transitions, stress management, behavorial problems, parenting, sexuality, and spirituality.

What we Charge:

We charge a standard fee, and insurance companies may reimburse a portion of the fee. Many of our clients pay a subsidized fee adjusted according to family income. This is made possible by the generous donations of the churches we serve.
