I am Dr Charles Manda, a Licensed Pastoral Counselor in the State of Kentucky. I am the author of the prestigious book: Re-authoring Life Narratives After Trauma: A Holistic Narrative Model of Care. I have specialist training in clinical pastoral counseling with a Ph.D. in Pastoral Family Therapy from the University of Pretoria, South Africa. I also have over 4,000 hours of Clinical Pastoral counseling practice in hospitals. I use pastoral counseling and psychotherapy to help individuals, families, or groups as they cope with pressures and crises of life, or as they seek answers to spiritual questions. As a field of practice, Pastoral Counseling is an approach to mental health care that draws its wisdom from psychology and the behavioral sciences alongside spirituality. That is why I work with people with organized religion, and also those without because a human being is a spiritual being. We all have spiritual questions that need answers. You must find answers to your spiritual questions. Studies show that spiritual well-being has a significant impact on key health measures. For example, it reduces despair, anxiety, depression, the wish to die, and improves the quality of life. Feel free to schedule an appointment. It's important that you find the help you need and improve the quality of your life or relationships. I will work with you to assess your needs, hopes, and resources and work collaboratively to achieve your goals in therapy.
