Pastoral Counseling and Prayer Ministry
Struggling in a relationship?
Overwhelming issues at home/ work/ school?
Anxious?
Depressed?
Feeling deep loss or regret?
Trying to shake an addiction?
Difficult circumstances have you puzzled, fearful or defeated?
From time to time, we all face tough problems and feel overwhelmed with circumstances of life. The path to spiritual, emotional and physical wholeness often requires a change in thinking. Finding out what to change, and how to change, can at times be overwhelming and takes the support and encouragement of another caring person. If you sense this need, don’t put it off any longer. Seek help BEFORE things become more serious. If not here, seek help somewhere.
For those who wish to respond to life’s hurts from a Christian perspective, Dr. Ed Hersh is ready to help. With a professional, nonclinical approach, Dr. Hersh does not diagnose with mental health labels, but utilizes transformational healing principles to encourage change from the inside out. Most physical and behavioral problems have spiritual roots, which becomes the focus for making the way for healing. Insurance plans usually do not cover these services that Ed offers on a donation basis (a suggested amount of $50 per session).
Phone 717-872-1192 to make an appointment. Or email edward.hersh@verizon.net to inquire about scheduling.
If you are not local to Lancaster, Pa, consider visiting us with a stay at our Blue Rock BnB. If you wish to schedule an appointment for counseling, make sure to mention this at reservation time.

Called the Refuge of Healing and Hope, this project sought to help participants find healing for the whole person.
Currently, I continue the writing with the edwardhersh.com Refuge blog. Most of our ministry centers around the BnB activity. We are trying to slow the pace a bit, but still try to serve where we can and help as many people as we can along the way.
