Pastoral Counseling for Life’s Challenges

Despite the smiling faces and beach views that fill our social media feeds, the truth is that most of us are hurting. This is especially the case in a post-pandemic world. Our foundational relationships and routines unraveled overnight, leading many of us to places of isolation, depression, interpersonal conflict, or addiction.

As a career pastor and Christian counselor, I’m eager to come alongside of people as they navigate this rocky terrain.

If you’d like to inquire about an appointment, please email me at erik.dunkin@gmail.com or fill out the contact form below. I look forward to hearing from you.

Areas of Focus

As a pastoral counselor (not a licensed therapist), I’m able to come alongside of those working through marital conflict, pornography addiction, mild alcohol or cannabis addiction, seasonal depression, spiritual doubts / deconstruction, pre-marital counseling, parenting challenges, and more. For those suffering from a clinical diagnosis, I would refer you to a licensed professional therapist or other mental health professional.

In Person or Online?

Available for both online (zoom) or in person sessions. If you’re in the Madison area, my preference would be to meet primarily in person, with online available as needed (when traveling for work, home with the sniffles, etc.).

Location

For in person sessions, my office is located on the west side of Madison, Wisconsin near Whitney Way and Hwy 12/18. For couples counseling, I can be available to come to your home. See pricing below.

Times

I can work with you to find a weekly or every-other-week time slot. I generally meet with people for six to ten sessions, and re-evaluate or decrease frequency from there.

My availability includes:

Tues / Wed / Thurs 7am – 9am or lunch hour (central time)

Wednesdays between 4pm and 9pm (central time)

Occasional other times as my schedule allows.

Couples 90 minute session (in person or online) – $100

Couples 90 minute session (at your home in Madison area) – $110 – $140 depending on your location
