Convocation History Programs Pastoral Ministry Services Quest Quest Counseling and Healing Center                         

It is my pleasure to introduce Quest: A Counseling and Healing Center and the services of Dr. John L Hoff and Colette Hoff.  Both John and Colette are gifted counselors whose skills are honed by over 30 years working together.  As pastoral counselors, their approach is informed by educational and developmental theory, advances in brain science, and the river of wisdom that runs through the world’s great religious traditions – often called the perennial philosophy.  John and Colette share a commitment to empowering clients to be effective as individuals, partners, parents and members of society.  As a couple, and as unique individuals, the Hoffs offer a process-oriented approach arising from their exceptional abilities to clarify where individuals are in their development and provide services to comfort, challenge, and guide.  At the heart of their work is their intent to be examples of people living up to their full potential.
