The Samaritan Institute's mission is to help affiliated counseling centers provide team-oriented, cost-efficient counseling, education, and consultation which emphasize the interrelatedness of mind, body, spirit, and community. Our company began when a physician, two pastors and a professor came to the realization that working together, ministers, therapists, and physicians were very effective in helping individuals with stress-related problems. The Institute now serves over 480 Samaritan Centers in the United States and Japan, and is one of the largest providers providers of professional counseling.
