Recovery and counseling

---

We all have struggles in life; struggles with addictions, food, depression, anxiety, and relationships to name a few.  Life Recovery at the Orchard provides small group settings to walk through the 12 Steps with an emphasis on Biblical perspective and open discussion. This is the beauty of Life Recovery. Unlike other Christian recovery approaches that mandate how and where their recovery ministry can be employed, Life Recovery brings Christian recovery to you – right where you’re at. The Life Recovery group meets at 9:00am on Sunday mornings at The Orchard during the first service.  Please join us or contact Susan Ralls or Mark Otis for more info. 

While each of our pastors is available to meet with people seeking counseling, Dr. Doug Self is our primary counseling pastor. Counseling sessions at the Orchard will offer you a compassionate ear, listening to your description of the challenges you are facing and asking clarifying questions.  Then utilizing proven psychological and relevant Biblical principles you’ll receive help, guidance and hope.  Individuals with personal issues like depression and anxiety, spiritual or relational issues as well as couples seeking help for their marriage have experienced spiritual support, practical tools and life improvement from counseling at the Orchard.  You can schedule an appointment by emailing counseling@theorchardlife.com.  This counseling is confidential and is offered free of charge as a ministry of the Orchard. 

The Orchard offers pre-marital preparation, counseling for troubled marriages as well as support for those who are going through or have experienced a divorce.  Marriage offers great joy and satisfaction but also presents us with new challenges as two lives become one.  If you’re contemplating getting married or are engaged to be married come take advantage of a pastoral counseling session where you can better evaluate your relationship and discover its strengths, what could become difficulties and how to resolve disagreements.  If your experiencing struggles in your marriage or would like to explore marriage enrichment tools, make an appointment with one of our pastors.  If you’re facing or have experienced a divorce we offer compassionate support to help you make sense of what’s going on as well as providing insight for your best post-divorce life.  Whatever your situation email counseling@theorchardlife.com to set up an appointment.  

Grief hurts and we’re usually not prepared to feel the disorienting pain of losing a loved one.  Grief takes us into uncharted territory that nothing has adequately prepared us to deal with.  At the Orchard we have met with and walked with many people who are facing the challenges of grieving.  Immediate supportive counseling is offered as well as helping with arranging a memorial service if so desired.   We’ve learned how to help you keep your grief ‘clean,’ and how to avoid the pitfalls of regret and guilt.   As time goes by our pastoral staff stays in touch with those who are grieving, offering an opportunity to talk it through again.  We offer prayer and guidance we’ve gained through many decades of supporting people through their grief.  Email counseling@theorchardlife.com for immediate support in your grief.  

Trailhead Christian Counseling is passionate about honoring our clients as wonderfully formed, unique human beings. As Christian Counselors, spirituality and faith are important components, and we strive to honor each client’s faith journey and beliefs in the process, even if that means you do not have a belief system - we will meet you where you are at. 

In addition to using psychological approaches and methodology, Scripture may be utilized, as well as best practices in Christian counseling and prayer. Our approaches are guided by our clients. We are deeply grateful for the journey in search of understanding, and emotional and spiritual healing.

We are committed to making our services accessible to those who live outside the Roaring Fork Valley or have financial constraints. To that end, we offer online counseling, sliding scale fees and we accept Medicaid.
