Who We Are
Our Counseling Practice
Our experience enables us to offer effective outpatient, individualized care using a body, mind and soul approach through biblical principles. We treat a number of mental health disorders and our belief is that without hope, any issue is very difficult to overcome. Hope comes from knowing the truth and truth only comes from one place and that is God in Christ. The Well is a place that offers the opportunity to help you find hope and help for a full life by exposing you to the mental, physical and spiritual truths that have the power to set you free.
Our Treatment Focus
Our focus is to help individuals, couples, teens and families heal, energize and become aware of their inner strengths and past traumas. Our success has been in helping you become honest and transparent in your mental health recovery and not continuing to believe old internal lies. We all make mistakes in life and fall short and shame does not have to be your permanent name or place. Exposing lies and misconceptions about who you are and whose you are and especially knowing you are loved, are key to healing and becoming a whole person.
Our Client Promise
We promise to be there for you every step of your journey. Our goal is to help you grow and use your struggles to heal from pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life. Living fully, mentally, physically and spiritually can be your truth with the right kind of help. If you are a Christian, God should be a major part of your counseling sessions and we are very comfortable and competent incorporating scripture into your counsel as well as helping you apply it in a way that is real and practical in your daily life.
Depression and Anxiety
Depression, fear and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions we can experience at some point in our lives. Through mental, physical and spiritual counseling, we focus on the whole person and not just the parts. Through professional counseling, coupled with biblical truth, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective and the joy you once had or never did.
Substance Abuse and Life-Controlling Problems
When it comes to recovery, The Well has years of experience and believes that drugs are not the only kind of life-controlling problem. Anything a person puts before God in their life, who is the real solution, can be an addiction. We are here to help you with your recovery as well as the underlying issues that lead you toward use. Take the time to ask yourself, do you want to be controlled by lies for the rest of your life or be radically moved into a new life by truth? The choice is yours.
Trauma and PTSD
Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic memories and events. Anxiety, fear and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger from post-traumatic events. We can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing into new life and purpose.
Marriage and Couples
Relationship counseling can be beneficial to couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection in all stages of their relationship. Therapy sessions are held together and individually, giving both a supportive place to discuss issues and solutions to better strengthen their relationship or marriage. Focus on a God-centered relationship or marriage is essential to the cohesive bond necessary to navigate the ups, downs and changes that go on throughout every marriage, whether it be inside or outside forces that try to destroy it. Working through these changes, putting God first, couples move from a self-focused relationship to a purpose-focused one.
Teens and Family
The Well works with teens 15 and up but a major part of working with teens is that the parents agree to be part of the counseling sessions with and without the teen. Oftentimes, there are issues or parenting styles that need to be adjusted to help the teen navigate growing up. Sometimes issues are normal and environmental and sometimes within the family structure there are habits and misconceptions that require adjustment. The goal of this type of counseling can have results that last a lifetime and not just in crisis-based situations. Come open-minded and see what God can do to change generations of dysfunction and help solidify a healthy family model for years to come.

Events and Conferences - with guest speakers and the music of Red Words
In the summer of 2012, founding members, Paul Ammendola (lead vocals, keys) and Mark Phillips (lead guitar, vocals), teamed up with close friends, Michael Perrone (guitar, vocals) and John Foote (drums, percussion) to provide music for a ministry event. As they delivered their eclectic blend of soul-baring vocals, crunching rock-n-roll guitars, and tasteful grooves, the audience quickly realized that they had experienced something very special. After a number of other well-received events, Jaime Moore (bass guitar) was added to finalize the line-up. With the band fully formed, their repertoire quickly grew, as did their popularity. Now -- with an ever-growing fan base -- Red Words aims to further expand their audience. Red Words released their highly anticipated self-titled CD in October 2014, exemplifying their original sound (an effective hybrid of edgy rock, R&B, pop, gospel and soul). This rock band, however, also has a message and it’s one the world desperately needs to hear: God Loves You (no matter where you are or what you’ve done). It’s easy to get discouraged in today’s world of stress and social clutter. It’s easy to lose hope. “Our music is about finding joy and hope in a dark world,” says Ammendola. The “red words” that Jesus spoke are not only to be read, but are meant to be lived out. Music is powerful. It can stir souls, change hearts, and restore lives. With an aim to do just that, it’s time now to throw the doors wide open for Red Words, let love loose… and turn up the volume! See more at: www.redwordsband.com
