Our Mission

to offer mental health care to everyone desiring wellness of body, mind, spirit, and community.

Our History

Since 1959, PCS has provided more than 530,000 hours of counseling and psychiatric services by offering a caring refuge from the stress or trauma of daily living.  We continue to care for and assist hurting people to function more effectively and teach life skills to enrich lives.  PCS promotes wellness of mind, body and spirit which leads to better performance in life, work and school. Sixty-seven percent (67%) of our clients are children and youth and 57 percent (57%) are at or below the federal poverty guideline.

THE SAMARITAN INSTITUTE - a nonprofit organization headquartered in Denver, Colorado - is the international office for a network of counseling Centers. Personal Counseling Service, accredited by the Samaritan Institute, is a member of this network called The Samaritan Ministry; it is one of the largest providers of professional counseling in the United States.

Samaritan Centers provide professional mental health services, healthcare education, and consultation in more than 380 cities and communities throughout the United States and Tokyo, Japan. Annually, over $20 million of subsidized counseling is provided for those who cannot afford the full cost of counseling. The Samaritan Ministry’s growth has been in direct response to the needs of congregations and communities.

What's with the bear?
You may have seen the bear at an event or in an advertisement, so what does it mean? Each bear is given away for a generous donation of $40. This $40 pays for one hour of therapy for a child. You can give the bear to a friend, a child you know, or donate it back to PCS for therapists to give to their young clients.
