MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Daystar Counseling Ministries, Inc. seeks to offer the hope of Christ to children, adolescents and families in need. Counseling services are offered on a sliding scale system, based on a family's or individual's ability to pay. Through individual and group counseling, summer camp programs, leadership training and parenting seminars, Daystar is dedicated to serving the greater Nashville area, as well as the community at large, with encouragement and support.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Individual Counseling Individual counseling for trauma and adjustment issues including grief, depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, eating disorders, self harm, addiction etc. Daystar serves an average of 254 families a week. Group Counseling Provide therapy in a group setting for children and youth. Daystar provides 27 groups on a weekly basis to approximately 278 clients. Summer Sessions Summer sessions are designed to strengthen and experience therapeutic growth discussed throughout the school year. Six week-long summer camps are provided, grouped by grade level. Summer sessions average 30 campers with a 3:1 camper to therapist ratio. Education Seminars on a variety of life issues including: Girl and Boy developmental issues, Communicating with your teen, Life after high school and Adult art. Leadership Development We believe that kids have a unique ability to speak into each other’s lives, and in doing so, develop confidence in knowing that they have something to offer others. Our leaders serve and grow by co-facilitating younger counseling groups and speaking in classes taught by our counselors to educate the community on the challenges of being a child and adolescent today. High school age clients that are making good choices and are good role models are also asked to be leaders at our younger summer sessions. These leaders have the opportunity to give out of the abundance that they have received from being involved at Daystar. Many of these students return in the school year to help co-facilitate younger groups and in latter summers as full time summer staff interns.
