Greetings to you!

This has been an interesting and challenging year for us as I am sure for many of you. The need for counseling continues to be high. During, and even after, the worst of the pandemic, more and more people have realized the importance and need for counseling.

Anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and trauma issues are common requests we receive daily from people seeking counseling. We are thankful for our staff and the opportunity to continue serving those in the community that need our services.

According to the American Psychological Association (APA), the percentage of reported patient anxiety and depressive disorders remained high in 2022, despite some decreases in 2021. Trauma and stressor – related disorders, substance related disorders, and addictive disorders continued to increase when compared to before the pandemic. In this same study, the APA found that two-thirds of psychologists had reported an increase in the severity of symptoms in patients in 2022.

& Psychotherapist

This coming year at Samaritan, our goal is to try and serve more people in need of counseling. One way we plan to accomplish this is by establishing a Samaritan Fund to help those who need financial assistance to afford counseling.

We are excited to announce that we have received an anonymous donation of $25,000, which will match all donations through the end of January up to $25,000. The Samaritan Center is a 501 C3, nonprofit organization, so all donations are eligible for tax deductions. Please consider a donation to help support the important work of the Samaritan Counseling Center and to assist those in need.

Best wishes during this holiday season!

Executive Director & Psychotherapist

Where do donations go?

Samaritan Counseling Center provides needed mental health services to our diverse community. Since we are a non-profit center, donations from supporters like you make our work possible! Every dollar raised stays right here to help our friends and neighbors in Monona and the surrounding communities.

Dash is back for another year of winter silliness!

We want to give a huge thank you to all those who donated to the Santas Without Chimneys toy drive!

It is through your donations that we were able to help gift toys to children and families without homes this holiday season.
