The mission of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors is to bring healing, hope, and wholeness to individuals, families, and communities by expanding and equipping spiritually grounded and psychologically informed care, counseling, and psychotherapy.
The AAPC website is intended to provide information for both association members and the public.
The mission of the Center of Excellence is to be the safe and lively space to teach, learn, train, educate, explore and research the innovative practices that flow from the blended intelligences of faith and the health sciences. Into this shared generative environment, we welcome patients, families, healthcare professionals, clergy, academics from many disciplines and those who share more than one of these identities.
We are dedicated to the improved health of our patients and the communities we serve, but are also grateful to be part of a global learning network that is dedicated to improving health in many places.
