2011 Annual Report

Pastoral Counseling Centers of Tennessee, Inc.

2011 Annual Report

Pastoral Counseling Centers of Tennessee, Inc.

Chris O’Rear has served this year on the Association of Nonprofit Executives at the Center for

Nonprofit Management. It has been clear from the conversations there that the economy con-

tinues to adversely affect most nonprofits. We have seen the closing of other counseling cen-

ters around the country. While the Pastoral Counseling Centers of Tennessee (PCCT) has con-

tinued to struggle financially, the news for us has been much more hopeful this year.

PCCT provided about 4,700 hours of counseling in 2011. This was a decline from last

year, but represents a tremendous work in the community. We continued to serve clients who

are not able to pay our regular fee by providing financial assistance with our fee for those cli-

ents. Through a partnership with United Methodist’s Disaster Relief programs, we continue to

serve those who are still recovering from the floods of 2010. PCCT continued to work with

the Lazarus Project in Clarksville, TN to provide services to veterans and their families.

We served clients from 5 years of age to 81. Our clients continue to come to us for mar-

ital and relationship problems (including parent-child difficulties), depression, anxiety, post-

traumatic stress disorder, sexual difficulties, spiritual difficulties and host of other mental and

emotional complaints.

In September, PCCT expanded our ability to care for the community of middle Tennes-

see as we opened our new Psychiatric Medical Services clinic. Under the direction of our new

Medical Director, Dr. Kirk Barton, PCCT is now able to offer psychiatric medication services

not just to our own clients, but to anyone who may have need of these services. Dr. Barton

helped us develop this program as a holistic approach to client care that is complementary to

our approach to psychotherapy. The fees for the new clinic are affordable and this service will

eventually help provide income to PCCT to help us continue to provide counseling to those

that could not otherwise afford to see our therapists. Currently medication services are only

available in our Vine Street location, but as the service expands, we hope to have services

available in some of our other locations as well. We are also pleased to welcome Leta Pearce

as our new Medical Office Assistant helping us with scheduling and billing for the medication

clinic.

From the Executive Directors Chrissa Walsh, Executive Director for Finance and Development

Chris O’Rear, Executive Director for Clinical Services

In 2011 we continued our commitment to quality education for therapists in training and

local clergy and other church leaders. After one of our best years in training ever, we antici-

pate adding a new Director of Training in 2012. In August we started a new class of five stu-

dents in our Pastoral Care Specialist training program. This program for local clergy and

church leaders will enhance the skills of care for these men and women and will help them bet-

ter understand the important ethical guidelines for excellence in pastoral care. PCCT took on a

record number of quality practicum students from local universities in 2011. Each of these stu-

dents comes to us to grow in their professional development, but hopefully leave with a better

understanding of the depth of care provided through our unique approach to professional care.

Over the past few years, the staff and leadership of PCCT have made significant changes

to our organization to insure our financial security. We anticipate additional changes will come

in our organization in 2012. However, we would not survive without the significant support

and contribution of our Board of Directors. Our current Board President, Joe Hardy, has been

instrumental in rejuvenating and reorganizing our Board of Directors, inspiring our staff, and

facilitating a sense of hope for the future. We are grateful for him and for those that serve on

our Board as well as our satellite Advisory Councils.

PCCT staff provides excellence in our counseling. Our staff provides quality communi-

ty training events and superior clinical training. If we simply offered our services at cost, we

would only be able to serve the wealthiest members of the community. While many of our cli-

ents are able to pay our regular fee, we know that many of those who struggle with mental and

emotional troubles also have financial troubles as well. Both the Hebrew and Christian scrip-

tures admonish us to care for those who cannot care for themselves. With your support

through prayers, referrals, and financial gifts, we are able to participate in the holy ministry of

seeking to be the healing presence of God to every person who comes to us for help. Thank

you for helping us live out this mission.

We will always place primary importance on our mission of providing counseling for

all, enrichment education for clergy, congregations and the community, and clinical training

for future Pastoral Counselors.

We appreciate your support to continue our ministry of bringing healing to the

Middle Tennessee area and your assistance in referring to us those you know who need our

help.

Help is not far away...

Clarksville Craig Wascovich, D.Min., Center Coordinator

In 2011, we provided 905 counseling sessions at an average billed fee of

$88.15. We continued to work on a fee scale that slides from $125 to $30; howev-

er, we continued to see a number of clients below scale because of severe financial

need. This is consistent with our commitment to turning no one away because of

their inability to pay. We continued to see many active duty military from Fort

Campbell; this includes military personnel who came to us through the Lazarus

Project, as well as those who came to us of their own accord. We continued to pro-

vide individual, marital, and family therapy to the Clarksville community.

2011 was a year of transition for our Advisory Council, but a year of contin-

ued, steadfast support from our supporting congregations. Despite ministerial

changes at First Christian, First Presbyterian, and Madison Street United Methodist

Church, all three of these supporting congregations continued to support us with

new board members and finances. In addition, Trinity Episcopal and Grace Luther-

an continued their financial support of our center, and Father Mickey Richaud

(Trinity) agreed to take the helm of the Advisory Council. The Council began ad-

vance planning for our 25th anniversary which we will celebrate in the Fall of

2012.

Blessings to all! Year 2011 has been another exciting year among the Hispanic

counselors team. We provided a total of 560 sessions with an average of $43.11 dollars per ses-

sion. We continue serving the neediest population, providing to them a quality pastoral-

therapeutic approach in their own language for their mental and spiritual needs.

Our most common diagnoses continue to be drug and alcohol addiction, depression,

anxiety, panic, marital problems, and parents-teen conflicts, among others. This year in partic-

ular we have several cases of major psychotic disorders in teenagers. Divorce recovery and co-

dependence issues are also prevalent.

Claudia Avila-Lopez continues working from Vine Street and Murfreesboro, and Frank

Cardona and Eduardo Lelli share the Madison/Inglewood area office. Looking ahead in 2012

we will move our office from Eastminster Presbyterian Church to another close location as

God permits. We appreciate any assistance in locating a new host congregation.

We plan on continuing to serve our Hispanic community as well as English speaking cli-

ents. We are looking forward to more involvement with the whole PCCT community at large,

especially in reaching out the Hispanic clergy community in Nashville., We have already de-

veloped a good reputation among the Fraternidad de Pastores Cuerpo de Cristo (Fraternity of

Body of Christ Pastors) and the organization Uno en Cristo (One in Christ). The radio pro-

gram “Consejos para la Vida” (Life’s Counseling) continues advertising and promoting pasto-

ral counseling at large, which benefits us significantly in spreading the word about PCCT.

We are also considering the opening of a Hispanic group for follow-up medication with our

Psychiatric Medical Services Clinic on site. Thanks to all for your prayers and support, and

may God bless all of you richly.

North

For the past several years, the North Center of the Pastoral Counseling Centers has

served individuals, couples, and families in partnerships with churches through northern Da-

vidson county, Sumner, Robertson, and Wilson counties. We are especially grateful to the con-

gregation of First Presbyterian Church in Hendersonville for hosting our office.

Last year as I wrote on our center in Hendersonville, I was anticipating the need to close

this office in 2011. The referrals to this location continue to come and thanks to the continued

work of Steve Saunders and the addition of Dr. Tammy Beeman in this office, we have contin-

ued to provide services in Hendersonville. In fact, we provided 560 hours of counseling in this

office. Dr. Tammy Beeman is currently serving as our interim Coordinator of this office and

she is the person to call if you wish to schedule an appointment. She can be reached at (615)

383-2115, Ext. 76. Tammy is also available to visit with your congregation, business, or group

about the services of the Pastoral Counseling Center or help arrange training programs on a va-

riety of topics.

Though this office has struggled financially for the past couple of years, we have every

desire to continue to live our mission of seeking to embody God’s healing presence in this

community and are grateful for those that have helped make this a reality for so long. In 2011,

we provided more than $44,000 in financial assistance to the clients seen in our Henderson-

ville office. We ask that if this service is meaningful to you and your community, consider

ways you can help us connect with the community through educational programs, teaching, or

preaching and help support us with your financial gifts. We covet your prayers for this im-

portant work and appreciate your financial support.

Vine Street Steve Gillespie, M.Div., Center Coordinator

The main office of the Pastoral Counseling Centers of Tennessee (PCCT) has been located at the Vine

Street Christian Church for our entire 27 years of existence. This location remains the busiest of our 7 loca-

tions and a majority of our counselors spend at least one day seeing clients at this location. In 2012 our coun-

selors conducted 1,528 sessions of counseling. With financial assistance to those that cannot afford our regu-

lar fee, the average fee billed to clients was less than $50. This number remains significantly less than it has

been in the past and represents the ongoing demand for assistance from our clients. Currently our staff con-

sists of Licensed Clinical Pastoral Therapists, Marriage and Family Therapists, Professional Counselors, So-

cial Workers, a Psychologist, and a Psychiatrist. Each of these professionals is committed to our mission, most

have theological education, but the professional diversity of our staff ensure our ability to meet the needs of

those in the community who may need our assistance.

In addition to the counseling provided at the Vine Street location, in September we welcomed Dr. Kirk

Barton to our staff as our new Medical Director as we opened our new Psychiatric Medical Services Clinic.

See the Executive Directors’ Report for more information this exciting new service.

PCCT continues to grow in our capacity as an educational institution through our training programs.

Through the supervision of five supervisors or supervisors-in-training PCCT is able to provide practicum and

internship opportunities for master level and Ph.D. students at Trevecca, Lipscomb, and Vanderbilt in Nash-

ville, and at Loyola Seminary in Chicago. We have two supervisors for marriage and family therapy, one for

social work, and three for supervision of clinical pastoral therapists. During 2011, we also supervised a num-

ber of persons pursuing various other state licenses.

Another important training we offer is the Pastoral Care Specialist Training Program which seeks to

help clergy and other church leaders improve their pastoral care skills. This program meets weekly for nine

months and involves a commitment of three contact hours per week in didactic sessions and in consultation

with two pastoral care consultants (in addition to the work of pastoral care that each student completes). In the

fall of 2011, we had 5 new students begin the program. These 3 women and 2 men will return to their various

places of ministry better prepared to provide care in an ethical and professional way.

Under the direction of our Executive Directors, our Board President, Joe Hardy, and our new Medical

Director, Dr. Barton, the Pastoral Counseling Center continues to evolve into a full-service service center that

is capable of meeting the mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual needs of our clients. We are grateful for

those that partner with us in prayer and financial support that enables us to provide this excellent care to all

who may need it.

Brentwood

Carol Smith, Steve Gillespie, and John Ishee conducted 393 hours of counseling in Brentwood in

2011. During the Spring of 2011 John Ishee took a leave of absence due to illness. His compassionate pres-

ence is greatly missed. He is a man of unique expertise and wisdom. We continue to offer prayers for John

and his family and hope for his possible return.

I have enjoyed working as the Coordinator of our office in Brentwood for many years. I am not going

to leave this office, but in 2012 we do anticipate Carol Smith will begin to assume the role of Coordinator of

our offices in Brentwood and Franklin as I move to the role of Director of Training for the whole organiza-

tion. We are also pleased that for the first time in recent history, we will be utilizing a practicum student in

our Brentwood office. We look forward to having Jennifer Henderson from Trevecca Nazarene University

join our staff in Brentwood next year. 2011 has been a year of planning and preparation for what looks to be

a very exciting year for our organization in 2012.

We are always grateful for our host church, the Episcopal Church of the Advent, and for the gracious-

ness of Father Tom Hotchkiss, the staff, and the parishioners. We are secure in their tremendous support and

faith in what we do together. We are just as grateful for other local churches listed elsewhere in this publica-

tion who give of time, money, and referrals to our partnership in ministry.

Finally, the Williamson County Advisory Council works hard to provide fund raisers and other com-

munity connections. We appreciate their leadership and their willingness to work in tandem with the PCCT

Board of Directors. There are currently a limited number of openings on our Advisory Council in Williamson

County (serving Brentwood, Franklin, and Spring Hill). If you are interested in joining us in this work,

please contact our Executive Director for Clinical Services, Chris O’Rear at corear@pcctinc.org .

2011 was a mixed year for the Pastoral Counseling Center in Franklin. While utilization of our services remained lower

than in previous years, we had more involvement by our Advisory Council and some great benefit events. During 2011 we provided

689 hours of counseling in Franklin, a slight increase over 2010. The majority of those seen in counseling in Franklin were seen

individually, but we also served couples in marital crises and families having difficulty with other relationships. While we have a

regular fee of $125 per session, because of financial assistance from local congregations, individuals and groups in the area, we are

able to provide financial assistance to those that cannot afford our regular fee. The average fee that was billed t our clients was $48.

This is slightly lower than the system-wide average of $58, but it is slightly higher than last year. As I reviewed the reports from the

past two years, it seems significant to note that for about three years we have been reporting on the financial struggles of our clients.

This year, we have begun to see an improvement and this is demonstrated in the increased use of our services and the decreased need

for financial assistance.

Services were provided in Franklin this year by Carol Smith, Trey Holt, and Chris O’Rear. Barbara Green a Licensed Clini-

cal Social Worker joined our staff in the fall and is currently seeing clients on Saturdays in our Franklin office. We are grateful to

have Barbara on our staff and are glad to be able to accommodate those clients who may need to be seen on Saturdays. This year we

also began having practicum students from local counseling programs work in the Franklin office. We have been blessed to have Bo

Welch with us this year and look forward to having another student join us in 2012.

Bob Headley, the new Chair of our Advisory Council in Williamson County, brought new members to the Council and

helped the Brentwood and Franklin offices this year with a number of fundraising events including our 6 th Annual Chili Tasting and

Cook-off. We are also grateful for Grace Episcopal Church in Spring Hill that made the Pastoral Counseling Center in Franklin the

beneficiary of one of their Americana Music Concerts featuring Nancy Moran & Fett and Lisa Jones & Bill Bromfield. This was a

delightful evening of great music and wonderful desserts. The Fundraising events, just one part of the Advisory Council’s work,

helped raise awareness of the much needed services of the Pastoral Counseling Centers. We are grateful for the leadership of Bob

Headley who has served as the Chair of the Williamson Advisory Council this year and served on the PCCT Board of Directors.

There are currently limited openings for service on the Advisory Council of Williamson County. Please contact PCCT if you are

interested in Serving.

We functioned through all of 2011 without a volunteer receptionist in our Franklin office. Our volunteers help greet clients,

assist with phones, filing, and other duties. If you might be interested in volunteering in the Franklin office, contact me at

(615) 790-1539, ext. 24 or Abbie Culbertson at ext. 21.

We always see ourselves as an extension of the local church in the community. We are here to help with care and counsel-

ing, seminars, groups, preaching, and teaching. Please call us if we can help you or your congregation, workplace, or other commu-

nity organization during 2012. We are grateful for those who by their referrals, prayers, and financial gifts, make our mission of be-

ing God’s healing presence to the community a reality.

Murfreesboro H. Karen Potratz, M.R.E., M.S.W., L.C.S.W., Center Coordinator

The Murfreesboro Center is doing well. We have experienced some changes in our Advisory Council.

Virginia Dansby, Phd., has agreed to chair our board this year. We are excited about the new perspective she

brings. We also have a new board representative in Judy Campbell, RN. Both of these ladies have a close

connection to the Middle Tennessee State University community and we are grateful for their participation.

Anna Padden recommended Shannon Woodfin Parsons to join us on the Council as a representative of First

Presbyterian Church. We are pleased to welcome her. We have been building our Council this year and are

looking for people who share an interest in what we do and want to support this ministry with volunteer effort.

Our Advisory Council is a group that represents the congregations we serve.

The Center has reached out to our community by offering an SOS group that started January 2011. We

had a gathering during the Holidays that was warm and comfortable. The SOS group continues to offer a

place of acceptance and healing to families and friends who have lost a loved one to suicide. We also rang in

the New Year on the square with Night Watch. Thom Christy has been a friend and support to the entire heal-

ing community and it was a privilege to join him and others in this event. This was a good time with leaders in

the community. Good music, food and a broad venue of guests. We prayed and played! Good stuff!

We created a new event this year by hosting a breakfast for referring pastors in the community. We

are grateful for the referrals we receive and are honored to be able to journey with people in their time of need.

This was nicely done, led by Judy Campbell, one of our newest members on the Council.

We have served many individuals and families this year totaling over 700 sessions. A new part of our

services include offering supervision for interested persons who are seeking state licensure. Karen Potratz,

LCSW, is certified to supervise social workers and other disciplines for state licensure. This has been exciting

and brings its own unique energy and growth opportunities. In summary, we are excited to be in Murfreesbo-

ro and are blessed to join this community in ministering to those who need us.

Embodying

God’s Healing Presence

I believe that each of us is born with an inner light. I believe that light is what connects us to

our true inner peace, each other, and God. Through our lives, with and without help, we forget it is

there, or at least I did.

When I was four my environment was filled with anxiety, as was I. I feel as though I started for-

getting the inner light at that age. When I was ten, my loneliness was almost unbearable; the light

was becoming less noticed by me. At age thirteen, I developed a hatred for myself. At age four-

teen, I was tortured, and as I look back on it, I truly was. At age sixteen, the light was seemingly non-

existent. I was living in darkness.

Somehow, through no fault of my own, at age seventeen, I started experiencing joy – the joy

of Him, I think. I started seeing my inner light. Understandably, I felt that I had to protect my joy, my

light. The only way I knew to do that was to disassociate with people. I was around them, but I was

withdrawn.

Eventually the feeling of being detached bothered me enough to seek help. Also, I noticed I

was angry. I started seeing a counselor at the Pastoral Counseling Centers of Tennessee. I did not

trust people, and I had little expectations. I was hoping that he would be able to connect and not

disassociate through techniques. He was, and I finally got help.

I never believed it would be possible, but I am starting to trust people. I feel as though I am

able to let some people know how I feel. I am starting to have a foundation of who I am–who I really

am without all the past abuse. That foundation keeps me safe; it is getting stronger than other peo-

ple’s power over me. I feel like I am connecting with others and myself. I am finding out that it is

through connecting with myself and with others that I can feel my inner light more and more, and I

can notice the light within other people.

Through my counselor’s patient, caring, empathetic, and temperate nature he has

helped me to find my hope, joy, and trust. Also, it is because of him that I am able to have a

foundation of self, and the light that was once seemingly gone is brighter than I thought it

could be.

My wish is to be able to truly understand that what happened to me growing up was as

wrong as it would have been if it happened to anyone else. My wish is to be able to think about

what happened—really think about it—when I am not in his office. My wish is to be able to assume

that people mean no harm and for the most part wish me no harm. My wish is to feel like I have

overcome my past so I can help others overcome theirs, while seeing the beauty inside of them. I

know these things are possible because thanks to my counselor’s ability to use his gift to do therapy

well, he is helping me have the power to accomplish these things. He is helping me to be whole. I

am so grateful and honored to know him.

Supporting Congregations

Ways to Give There are currently several methods of making a contribution to the

Pastoral Counseling Centers of Tennessee, Inc. Of course there is still the

traditional route of sending a gift to the office in the form of cash, check

or Visa/MasterCard; however, here are a number of other ways to

contribute to and support PCCT as you go about your daily routine. . .

You can make a contribution to PCCT via the online payment service,

Paypal. Our account email with them is contributing@pcctinc.org.

Paypal is used for online payments via credit cards or direct debit from a

checking or savings account. It is safe and is used for millions of

transactions weekly.

Snoball.com is a new website that allows uses to set up periodic small

gifts to the nonprofit of their choice. The incremental gifts can be tied to

personal or other milestones. For example, PCCT could get a donation

whenever the Titans win a home game. You can encourage others to

give as well. Check this fun way to support your favorite nonprofit – us!

Participants on Facebook can personalize their presence through the use

of various added content called “applications”. One of these applica-

tions called “Causes” allows participants to show their support, make

contributions, and invite others to “join the cause” to support selected

nonprofit organizations. PCCT is one of the available nonprofits. To

date we have raised over $2000 through this application and have over

250 supporters of the cause. If you are on Facebook add the causes ap-

plication and support PCCT. You can find a “Donate through Causes”

link right on our Facebook page.

The Giving Matters website provides detailed information about non-

profit organizations. This is a place where you can view budgets, pro-

grams, staff, board, and tax information for nonprofit organizations. If

you like what you see, you can also donate money right from their web-

site. You can read all about PCCT and donate to us at

www.givingmatters.com. Just search for Pastoral Counseling Centers.

PCCT has a partnership with the world’s largest online retailer,

amazon.com. On our website (www.pcctinc.org), you will find banner

ads for Amazon.com. When you are shopping online, click these ads to

take to you to Amazon. When you complete a purchase there, PCCT

will receive a portion of the sale price. Use Amazon.com for books, mu-

sic, clothing, and more. Use it for holiday and birthday shopping, back-

to-school shopping, and for stocking the college dorm room. You get

what you need and PCCT gets a little something too.

You may purchase a Kroger gift card from PCCT that comes pre-loaded

with $5. Each time you add more money to your card, PCCT receives

4%. It is easy to load your card before you shop or just before you

checkout. You can also load the card with your expected monthly food

or gas budget. Use the card to purchase your groceries, gas and then re-

load the card. Every time you reload, PCCT gets another 4%. Use your

Kroger gift card to purchase other gift cards at Kroger for restaurants or

stores that you will be visiting and your contribution to PCCT can really

add up quickly. This may be one of the easiest ways to contribute to

PCCT without costing you anything, but 2 minutes of your time.

PCCT has a designation code for the United Way (8001). If your work

place allows (or requires) contributions to the United Way, designate

code 8001 when you sign up and your contributions will come to

PCCT. Encourage your family and co-workers to also designate for

PCCT.

Check with your current or former employer’s (if you are retired) Human Resources Department

and ask if they match contributions to PCCT. Many organizations will match mental health, human

services and/or religious nonprofits contributions if you fill out a form the Human Resource

Department will provide. Then your donation and this form come to us, we fill in our portion, mail

it in and receive the matching gift within 30 days!

Any time you list an item on ebay, you have the option of designating a

percentage of your sale (up to 100%) to go to the nonprofit of your

choice. PCCT is currently registered as one of the available nonprofits.

It has been a great pleasure to oversee the inauguration of the Psychiatric Medical Ser-

vices Clinic. The clinic hopes to participate in the PCCT's growth as it continues to broaden

its commitment to serving the comprehensive mental health care needs of its clients including

mind, body, relationships, and spirit. I have enjoyed having a chance to deepen my profession-

al relationships with the excellent counselors, staff, and trainees at the PCCT. It has also been

gratifying to work with the clients of the PCCT who though they come from diverse back-

grounds and faiths, seem drawn to the PCCT not only for relief from mental distress but also

for the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of themselves and to find a greater meaning in

their lives.

Since the start of the Psychiatric Medical Services Clinic, we have been financially self-

sustaining. Our client census continues to grow at a steady rate. Besides referrals from the

PCCT pastoral counselors, we have received referrals from therapists, physicians, clergy, and

mental health care organizations in our community. We hope to develop a good reputation in

the community equal to the reputation already enjoyed by the centers and pastoral counselors

of the PCCT. We look forward to fully meeting our goals of increasing the number of clients

whom we serve and of expanding the staff of the Psychiatric Medical Services Clinic. As men-

tal health care in our community and in our country as a whole will experience many changes

and challenges over the next years, the Psychiatric Medical Services Clinic hopes to help ena-

ble the Pastoral Counseling Centers of Tennessee to inspire and transform our community with

its vision of health, healing, and service.
