About Us
Shallowford Family Counseling Center lives to serve the community.
Through our connection with Shallowford Presbyterian Church, we welcome all people, regardless of faith tradition, to grow and learn through practice and experience, moving slowly, with gentleness, to a place of courageous curiosity, accepting hardship as a pathway to peace.​
Through our programs and offerings ...
Feeling alone, isolated and judged
Move from feeling ...
To being ...
Feeling alone, isolated and judged
Anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, and distressed
Connected, with acceptance and affirmation
Calm, centered, empowered, energized
Denial and bottling up feelings and difficult emotions
Accepting of human emotions as teachers and guides
Like you are on autopilot, stuck in destructive patterns and habits
Open to presence and possibility, responding rather than reacting
​
Crippled by fear and frozen in uncertainty
In a place of courageous curiosity, accepting hardship as a pathway to peace
Meet Robby and Kay
Rev. Robby Carroll, Director of the Shallowford Family Counseling Center, and Kay Stewart, Director of Mindfulness Education, consider it a privilege to engage in meaningful conversations that illuminate what matters most as we seek to live life fully and well. They share a passion for creating healing communities of deep listening where we can ponder how to live life on life’s terms. Their shared work is aligned with living the serenity prayer ... accepting what we cannot change, changing what we can, and having the wisdom to know the difference. Through a variety of Inner Workshops, they seek to share insights, experience, courage, and hope.
