TREATMENT
Shalom Center is unique among the specialized programs for clergy and religious in that it has multiple therapists who are proficient in both English and Spanish which makes individual therapy in one’s first language possible.
In addition, a task force for Spanish-language treatment has made recommendations for additional adaptations to the treatment to improve even further the treatment of those whose first language is Spanish. The following is the list
of members of the task force:
We are pleased to be on the cutting edge of providing services to priests and sisters that respects and addresses their specific cultural needs.

“Be renewed in the spirit of your
minds, and put on the new nature.”
— Ephesians 4:23-24
