Who we are

For many, counseling and recovery are most effective when rooted in their faith traditions and values. Kilgore Samaritan Counseling Center was established with this in mind—as a faith-sensitive, nonprofit counseling center that honors the important relationship between a person’s spiritual growth and their emotional well-being. For more than three decades, the Kilgore Samaritan Counseling Center has nurtured healing for individuals and families of all backgrounds, no matter their ability to pay. 

Kilgore’s staff—skilled psychologists, clinical social workers, clinical alcohol and drug counselors, marriage and family therapists, and pastoral counselors—have both theological and counseling training that is respectful of all faiths, as well as those who are not faith driven or spiritually oriented. Counselors at Kilgore use their knowledge and understanding to:

•  Provide specialized counseling for children and individuals who are dealing with overwhelming influences and obligations, or simply the difficult choices embedded in day-to-day life.
•  Offer relationship counseling, marriage therapy, family therapy, and parenting or grandparenting support.
•  Counsel those who are affected by substance use and addiction, as well as their family members and loved ones.
•  Support congregational care by working with local ministers to provide their congregations with premarital counseling and other educational programs. 

In 2023, Kilgore provided more than 5100 counseling hours. Today, Kilgore has expanded its reach across greater Louisville by partnering with the West End School, The Healing Place, and Jefferson County Public Schools, as well as offering telehealth services. 

Kilgore seeks to guide those in our community through life’s journey—helping to chart paths to stability and better quality of life.
