Facilitating Holistic and Lasting change

Holistic individual care and development

We promote and facilitate holistic and lasting change for individuals, couples, families, and communities

An Integrated Approach

An integrated approach between church and mental health offers diverse support mechanisms, blending spiritual guidance with professional counseling. This collaboration acknowledges the holistic nature of mental health, addressing emotional, spiritual, and psychological needs. For a mental health provider, it broadens therapeutic avenues, fostering comprehensive healing and enhancing client well-being.

The Church

Our experience has been that the churches often primarily offer weekend services, small groups, and serving events to meet the spiritual and emotional needs of the individuals in their congregation. Individual meetings with a pastor or church staff member do seem to happen but often those pastors or staff members are not trained for one-on-one mentorship, don’t have the time to be consistent and committed with the lives and stories of individuals, and/or they got into their position to teach, preach, or administrate the church body and not to meet with individuals. In those cases, the only other option is to refer individuals outside of the church, often to a mental health professional.

Mental Health Care

Traditionally, mental health professionals have relied primarily on one-on-one therapy to support an individual’s emotional healing and growth. The rules for therapeutic services generally limit mental health professionals from interacting with their clients outside of the therapeutic meeting time and they limit how involved the mental health professional and their clients should be in the same community or social space. So what often can occur is mental health professionals communicate the value of having a social support system and of cultivating and developing close relationships outside of the therapeutic space but they are not able to participate or engage with the same activities, social groups, or individuals that they are directing their clients to explore. This can leave clients feeling alone, unsupported, or lost on how to build these relationships.

5 areas of engagement

We live out our mission by focusing on mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. Our belief is that holistic and lasting change comes from investment in five areas of engagement.
Individual Care and Development
Focused personal care through traditional therapy, spiritual direction, prayer counseling or life coaching to facilitate spiritual, emotional, and relational healing and growth.
Small Groups
General and specialized weekly meetings to pursue mutual spiritual, emotional and relational healing and growth.
Spiritual Gatherings
Engaging in prayer and worship within a larger spiritual community.
Social Events
Fun and social opportunities of many shapes and sizes.
Community Outreach
Developing organic relationships in the local community for the purpose of discovering and meeting individual and community needs.

We are Healthy Care Takers

We believe that in order to give, we have to first receive.  In other words, we can’t help others go where we haven’t been ourselves. Staff at The Open Table give a significant amount of weekly time to caring for ourselves and allowing others to care for us. We not only address the need for our own “maintenance” care but also the importance of continuing our own journeys deeper into our own story, healing, and growth. We seek to care for others from a place of mental, emotional, and spiritual fullness.
