Hide Profile

The American Association of Pastoral Counselors is a professional organization formed in 1964 to bring standards, order and communication to the expanding new phenomenon of pastoral counseling. Responding to the religious community's need for a form of depth ministry, pastoral counseling specialists emerged, drawing together the inspiration of the church and the wisdom of the behavioral sciences.

Formal dialogue among pastoral counseling specialists began at a national conference held in New York in 1963, and in 1964 the American Association of Pastoral Counselors was organized and incorporated.
