Allen Rutter

Executive Director

Welcome to the Shalom Counseling and Mediation Center’s website.

Before becoming the director at Shalom I spent more than 18 years in pastoral ministry and I know that we all experience difficulties in our lives. Our counseling and mediation services are based on values and principles of spirituality and psychology that are useful for all, from those who have no interest in faith or Christianity to those who are devote and deeply religious. When issues and problems with relationships or personal trauma make life feel unmanageable or hopeless, our caring and professional staff is here to help you. Give us a call at 419-445-1552 and we will be glad to assist you.

We are committed to helping individuals, couples, families, organizations, churches and the communities in which we live, experience peace, justice and wholeness. Check us out and see what Shalom has to offer or consider what you can do to help us help others.
