Pastoral Counseling Services

Pastoral Counseling Services (PCS) is an independent, non-profit counseling center located at 2013 Elm Street in Manchester, New Hampshire. Our mission is to promote healing and wholeness of mind, body, and spirit through psychotherapy, consultation, and education. We work cooperatively with other agencies in the communities we serve to ensure effective and compassionate mental health services are available to all who need them.

One of the ways we recognize individuals who strengthen communities and improve life in New Hampshire is through the PCS Good Samaritan Award. Since 1996, we have honored over 120 Good Samaritans, and we are now accepting nominations for the 2024 awards. The criteria for nominees are outlined on our website, and additional letters of recommendation are encouraged.

We are excited to welcome Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Master-level Alcohol & Drug Counselor Juliane McGovern to the PCS staff. Juliane brings years of experience in trauma and family work, and we are thrilled to have her expertise on our team.

In addition, the Rev. Dr. E.C. Heath has joined the PCS Board of Directors. Dr. Heath is a pastor with a background in trauma chaplaincy and parish ministry, and we are grateful for their leadership on our board.

This year, our annual appeal will coincide with the New Hampshire Gives program, a day of giving to support non-profit organizations across the state. Your financial support will help us continue to provide essential mental health services to those in need. Thank you for your generosity.
