OUR MISSION AND VISION
MISSION STATEMENT:
To bring restoration and healing to our Christian community through professional counseling and care rooted in the love of Christ.
The vision of Arukah Restoration and Healing, Counseling Services is to be a distinctly Catholic counseling service for individuals, couples, and ministry leaders and people of Faith. We are committed to offering hope and healing through Jesus Christ. As Catholic counselors, we are called to bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom for the captive, and comfort those who mourn. Arukah desires to be an extender of the parish, offering counsel to those going through a season of difficulty. We are a support and resource for pastors and for our community.

WHY DOES ARUKAH EXIST?
We at Arukah Restoration and Healing, Counseling Services seek to intentionally partner with churches and ministries to meet needs in our Catholic community: our pastors’ need for trusted resources and the availability of Catholic counseling.
A pastoral resource: Pastors often recognize that some people need care and counseling beyond what they or their parish staff can offer. A nonprofit committed to care and counsel rooted in biblical and faith based principles is a helpful resource for many parishes.
Catholic counseling: Many people desire specifically Catholic counseling that will help make the connection between their faith and the issues of life.
