• Empathy and Support
• Understanding one’s trauma and life experiences
• Respecting faith and culture

  Pastoral Counseling is a confusing title for many; it's for:  

• Counseling is done by an ordained clergy person.
• Counseling for spiritual issues or matters of faith.
• Counseling is done with members of a church or religious group to deal with conflicts.
• Counseling for those who are more comfortable talking in traditionally religious language, rather than psychological terms  
• Those who feel more comfortable talking to a religious leader rather than with a secular counselor.
• Anyone who experienced the 'eye-roll' or was told they should talk to a minister by a therapist when spiritual issues or matters of faith were raised in a counseling session.
• For the person who wishes to deal with a secular issue in a way that respects their faith
