A New Year at Samaritan

As the Samaritan Counseling Center prepares for another exciting year of mental and spiritual outreach, we would also like to look back on the outstanding progress our Center made in 2010. The therapists of the Samaritan Counseling Center were able to conduct nearly 4,500 sessions in 2010, which represents a 13% increase from the previous year. The Samaritan Counseling Center opened a new office in the Mt. Lebanon area to extend our services in Western Pennsylvania even further. This satellite location is the first office to offer our extraordinary care in the South Hills region of Pittsburgh. Five new staff members joined our team as part of Samaritan’s expansion. In August of 2010, the Samaritan Counseling Center held a Golf Outing that yielded an excellent turnout. We were able to raise $41,000 to assist those in need of our counseling services. The growth of the Samaritan Counseling Center in the past year demonstrates not only the success of Samaritan in Western Pennsylvania, but also the growing need for our faith-based counseling services. Members of our staff continue to participate and lead outreach programs in the Pittsburgh area and its surroundings. Pastors’ Breakfasts were held at three of our locations and will continue to be held in 2011. Also, the Center was represented in 2010 at several church and professional summits. Another sign of Samaritan’s growth is the new website you are currently visiting. A considerable amount of work was put in to create a place online to inform and educate on Samaritan’s goals and position as a faith-based non-profit organization. As successful as 2010 was for the Samaritan Counseling Center, we anticipate an even brighter new year for our center.
