              Exempt Setting


We are a non-profit Social Service - Religious Association. Our mission
is to ensure the blessings of self-empowerment, peace and love for good
intentioned individuals. According to the AIWP's Credo, LOVE OF LIFE
and people is achieved through an integrated awakening of the physical,
the mental, the spiritual and the emotional processes.

We believe that 'life itself is a religious experience as realized in the
temple of our being'. To that extent, religious services include 'thoughts
and deeds that involve an AFFIRMATION OF LIFE. Our congregation
includes the ministers and those who seek our support towards an
integration of the whole person.'

The Counselor at Q's Ministry, Behavioral Health Image Therapies
(BHITS) has over 25 years of experience. The Q's Ministry, BHITS, values
innovation and offers objective counseling services. Many may be
resistant to seeking counseling because they may believe that
counseling is not objective. Our approach is scientific - objective and
spiritual. We want to offer the best of both worlds in the field. Our
approach is integrative. We can help anyone who has good will or
intentions. The services are available for people of all backgrounds.

Only qualified and well prepared professionals provide the counseling
services. The qualifications are based on Bachelor, Master and Doctoral
degrees in Psych., certifications in counseling, mental health, and other
credentials. That includes many years of research, education and
counseling experience.

We can arrange for evening and weekend services to fit your time
schedule.                                     

PRINCIPLES & JURISDICTION - VENUE

The purpose of the ministry is to provide a) counseling,
b) education, c) supervision, d) innovative scientific research and e)
spiritual and religious services to help individuals from all backgrounds.
People are helped to achieve integrated selves for betterment of their
lives. We strive to arrive at empirical truth, courage and freedom. We seek
to discover the truth to understand the past. And by having understood the
past and how that affects the present, we arrive at the 'meaning' and then
a plan of care. If there may be negative feelings, suffering, arising from
the past- or currently there may be acute trouble- both of which can affect
ones beliefs, attitudes, thoughts, emotions and behaviors. These affect
the normal course of life in the present about which we provide
techniques and interventions to help. We also provide interventions to
prevent future problems.
