What is The House of Ruach?
 
The House of Ruach is a tax-exempt, public charity,
specifically, a nonprofit, interfaith service organization. 
[Tax I.D. Number 26-4328617]  
 
 
Mission Statement: 
We are committed to creating a world in which God
would choose to live.  We do this through the uniquely
personal ministries of volunteers, who perform acts of
charitable giving and who create opportunities for service,
within their sphere of influence. 
 
 
Some of our counselors are independent, faith-based counselors; and others are independent, licensed, secular therapists, both of whom set their own fees and hours;
and most are volunteers.
 
 
      Consequently, the services that we are able to offer vary depending upon the skills and availability of our volunteers and independent counselors and therapists.  For example, if we have a counselor or a volunteer who is a qualified drug counselor, then we are able to offer drug counseling.  Some of our volunteers offer counseling services, others feed the homeless, and many visit shut-ins and the terminally ill.  We  maintain consulting rooms for hypnosis, licensed secular psychotherapy, pastoral counseling, faith-based counseling, and
spiritual direction.  
 
        Fees for services may be adjusted, based on financial need and circumstances.  Be honest with us, and we will make every effort to help you at a reduced fee.
 
 
 
       We do NOT seek to convert. 
      We offer services to persons wherever they may be in their religious or spiritual life, and that includes the complete absence of religion or spirituality.  As an interfaith organization, we do NOT believe that there is one right religion---all are valuable and respected.  
      
      Our counselors and therapists do NOT bring religion into the counseling relationship, unless you specifically seek religious pastoral counseling, faith-based counseling, or religious spiritual renewal--- in which case, it would be YOUR chosen religion that would be the vehicle for renewal. We have Christian, Jewish, and inter-faith counselors, each of whom sets their own fees and hours.

DEFINITIONS
 
  • What is Psychotherapy?
 
Psychotherapy is also known as mental health counseling or therapy. 
 
The word therapy is reserved for the specialized techniques that are used to help people with complicated reactions or conditions. 
 
In California, therapy can be conducted by psychiatrists, psychologists, marriage & family therapists (MFTs), or Licensed Clinical Social Workers.
 
By definition, one must be licensed by the State to conduct therapy.
 
 
 
  • What is an Interfaith Minister?
 
A licensed, ordained Interfaith Minister is trained to work with all religions, as well as the absence of religion or faith. 
 
They respect all faiths and Wisdom Paths, whether traditional, alternative, religious, or spiritual. 
 
They conduct rituals of all kinds, including legal weddings, affirmations, funerals, and  memorial services. 
 
 
 
  • What is Pastoral Counseling?
 
Pastoral Counseling is the  combination of secular psychology and theology.
 
Pastoral Counselors can help remedy personal problems, intervene with complicated psychological malfunctioning, and resolve spiritual/religious issues. 
 
The Pastoral Counselor is an expert in both psychology and theology, and most likely,
is ordained clergy or a chaplain. 
 
 
 
 
  • What is Spiritual Direction or Faith-based Counseling?
     
Essentially the same thing, each focuses on issues of spirituality and spiritual practices and they can help remedy the problems and obstacles to faith (e.g., a history of incest, drug addiction, or PTSD). 
 
  • Spiritual Directors can help remedy problems and obstacles to living a faith-filled, faith-based life.  
  • They help clients to become aware of the presence of God in their lives.
  • They help clients in developing their faith, spirituality, or ritual practices. 
  • They address the spiritual restlessness of the soul.
  • They do NOT have to be clergy;  they are  often trained laypersons.
