Welcome to Shalom!

Joining the Shalom family in 2024 as a Fulton County native, I am blessed to bring two decades of a purpose-driven career helping others reach their goals. I have had the privilege and honor to impact and be impacted by countless individuals, families, teams, and communities in their pursuit of hope and healing, serving from the front line to the executive level in the non-profit and for-profit sectors of healthcare for local and national organizations.

We all experience trauma and difficulties. The services offered at our three Shalom locations for children and adults are based on our core values and mission-driven focus relying on the foundational principles of spirituality and psychology. You matter and your goals matter to us. Together, we can create hope and healing. Our caring and professional staff are here to support you in your journey. Connect with us via phone at 419-445-1552 or email at info@shalomworks.org and we will be happy to assist you.

We are committed to helping the communities we serve experience peace, healing and wholeness.
