Our Mission
A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER
Michael d’Esterre, Founder of Archangel Catholic
Archangel Catholic Counseling began with a simple conviction: Catholics should not have to choose between sound mental health care and a counselor who understands their faith.
We serve Catholics facing anxiety, trauma, OCD and scrupulosity, relationship wounds, grief, and major life transitions. Our vision is that every Catholic in the Pacific Northwest who needs counseling can find a clinician who respects both the Catholic worldview and evidence-based psychological care.
Inspired by St. Josemaría Escrivá and entrusted in a special way to St. Raphael—whose name means “God heals”—we believe healing and holiness can unfold together in the ordinary circumstances of life.
Our mission is to help clients move toward greater freedom, peace, integration, and to be fully alive with God.
Blessings,
The Heart Behind Archangel Catholic Counseling
OUR MISSION
Through the intercession of Our Lady, Archangel Catholic Counseling is committed to providing faithful, compassionate, and clinically excellent mental health care.
We believe true healing attends to the whole person—mind, body, and soul—and honors each person’s dignity, story, vocation, and relationship with God. Our counseling integrates the wisdom of the Catholic Church with the highest standards of professional clinical care to support emotional healing, relational growth, and spiritual renewal.
Our mission is to help individuals, couples, and families find greater freedom, peace, virtue, purpose, and deeper communion with God.
Why the Archangels?
The Archangels have always been instruments of God’s freedom. This freedom allows us to better love God, and more importantly, allow ourselves to be loved by God. With this in mind, we chose the Archangels as our patrons to intercede for us, as we help the community find freedom through counseling.
St. Gabriel, St. Raphael & St. Michael, pray for us!
