The mission of the Westminster Counseling Center is to integrate the spiritual and psychological dimensions of human experience to promote hope, strength, growth, and inherent self-worth through empirically informed mental health counseling and best practices in healing for individuals, couples, and families.
The Westminster Counseling Center's vision is to be a place of healing for individuals, couples, and families within the Twin Cities community. The Center is aware of the impact of current and historical injustices and, when present, is equipped to address the associated psychological and moral injuries within the therapeutic framework of moral injury.
The Westminster Counseling Center values all members of the community regardless of life experience, choice of religious or spiritual beliefs or practices, race, ethnicity, economic circumstances, gender identity, or sexual orientation. The Center has an accessible fee structure based on income and ability to pay to assure equitable distribution of spiritually informed mental health services.
Spiritually informed mental health services?

Our clinicians are fully licensed professionals with diverse experience across various settings. We welcome the opportunity to explore the spiritual dimensions of your experience if that is important to you,
A little history:
WCC had its beginnings in 1975 as a volunteer-staffed outreach ministry of Westminster Presbyterian Church. It opened its doors as Westminster Counseling Center in October 1987. In October 1992, WCC was established as an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit with its own Articles of Incorporation. WCC continues to receive support from Westminster Presbyterian Church in the form of office space, administrative and financial support, but functions as an independent nonprofit.
