Barnabas International Parameters for the Provision of Counseling Services

Barnabas International is a pastoral care organization that focuses on shepherding global workers. We do have a limited number of clinical and pastoral counselors on staff who can provide psychiatric assessment, clinical counseling, and pastoral counseling, primarily on a short-term basis. We are limited to only serving global workers. We are most available for global workers who are serving outside of their passport countries.

Licensing laws restrict clinical counselors from providing US-based care to anyone who is not physically located in the provider’s state of licensure. Therefore, if a global worker is currently based in the United States, we will most often offer referral options outside of Barnabas International.

If you fill out the Intake Form to request services, our Intake and Referral Team will gladly review your request. We commit to responding to you within several business days. Our response to you might include asking you for more information, referring you to someone within Barnabas, referring you to a care provider outside of Barnabas, or providing you with resources/recommendations. Please note that our response time might be longer due to holidays or unforeseen travel times that give us limited availability. We cannot guarantee availability of BI counselors as each staff member’s availability varies from month to month due to other ministry commitments including field-based travel.
