The name for The Counseling Café was envisioned from a fictional book named Bo’s Café. This is a story about a man who is very successful and driven related to his career and believes qualities should make him happy. However, this successful businessman has a failing marriage and is very angry, resentful and shame based. He meets a stranger who befriends him and takes him to Bo’s Café. At this diner, the people who enter are from all walks of life and all have a history with experiencing what it is to be human in this world. The rule when entering Bo’s Café is to “take off the mask” and consider being vulnerable and open to being better known by self, others, and God.

Through our interpretation of Bo’s Café, the idea of The Counseling Café was born. We will create a safe place for individuals, couples, and families to find hope, grace, and a future through counseling. Our goal is to help each client build understanding and intimacy, being more comfortable with taking off their mask, help them feel a better sense of connection and community with themselves, others, and God.
