The Problem Pastors Face

Pastors Are Carrying More Than One Person Can Bear

Many pastors faithfully care for people facing grief, addiction, marriage crisis, anxiety, trauma, family breakdown, and spiritual discouragement — often with no clear pathway for what to do when a single meeting isn't enough.

RHM exists to help churches build a trusted, biblically faithful care pathway so people receive structured, Christ-centered support while staying connected to their local church.

Why RHM

What Makes RHM Different

Biblically Anchored — Every service is rooted in the sufficiency of Scripture — not a secular model dressed in Christian language.
Church-Supporting — We partner with and strengthen the local church — we never compete with it or pull members away.
Supervised & Credentialed — Counselors operate under formal pastoral supervision by Dr. Jeffrey Gross, Th.D., Ph.D.
Clinically Informed — Where appropriate, RHM integrates clinical tools (AODA, neurofeedback, Brainspotting) with biblical care.
Affordable & Accessible — Sliding scale fees, scholarship funds, and partner-church subsidies make care accessible regardless of income.
