The National Pastoral Counselors Training Center is a Certified Academic Institution for the National Christian Counselors Association (NCCA}, which is headquartered in Sarasota Florida. The NCCA is the Licensing/credentialing arm for all programs offered.
We are a CHRISTIAN MINISTRY, NOT A BUSINESS, assisting individuals that have a desire and calling to help others as a Christian Counselor. We provide an educational path to certification, Christian (ecclesiastical) Licensing, and a degree from one of our approved Colleges/Universities.
Unlike a State licensed counselor, all of our counselors {including Dr. White) are responding to a divine call and consider themselves to be in the ministry and service of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
Some of our programs also require the individual to become a credentialed minister. We provide assistance in this area as well.
NPCTC is a ministry and outreach of the Robertsdale P.H. Church, under the spiritual covering of the International P.H. Church (Alpha Conference. In addition to his NCCA and SACC credentials, Dr. White is an Ordained Minister with this Christian group.
If you feel called into the Christian Counseling ministry, we might just be the right educational choice for you!
MEET OUR CLINICAL SUPERVISOR
Dr. Mike White, DMin, PhD
Dr. White has been in the Ministry for nearly 44 years and have been the Senior Pastor of Impact Ministries located on the Gulf Coast of Alabama for the past 30+ years. I have been very happily married to my wife Sharon for over 41 years. I am the father of 4 children and 8 grandchildren. I am passionate about helping people and have found Temperament Therapy to be one the most powerful tools available in helping people grow closer to the Lord by discovering the person God created them to be! I am here to offer support, guidance and hope in a safe, nonjudgmental space. I believe everyone deserves access to quality Christian counseling, regardless of their financial situation. To be very clear, we provide Christian, Faith Based Spiritual Counseling. This means the Bible and Prayer are an integral part of our counseling methodology. If you are averse to receiving biblical counsel and learning more about God’s standards for living, we might not be a good fit for you. Please keep this in mind before booking.
Because we are a ministry, we will not turn anybody away because of financial concerns. Ask us about our sliding scale or no cost options. All Sliding Scale options are coded “SS_Counseling” when requesting an appointment.
