Expansion

Honoring Christ by serving the needs of children and families

Counseling Center Expansion We are expanding!!

On Sunday, October 9th, join us for the ribbon cutting and dedication of our second Sheridan House Counseling Center.

Since 1993, the Sheridan House Counseling Center has served thousands of individuals and families by providing answers from a Biblical perspective in a confidential and professional counseling setting. Headquartered on Flamingo Road in Western Broward County, the Sheridan House Counseling Center is now adding a second location. Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church has graciously donated and renovated office space so that we may expand our counseling services to Eastern Broward County. Now clients will have a choice of an east or a west office; whichever is more convenient for them.

Our new Sheridan House counseling office is located on the campus of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church at 5555 N. Federal Highway, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

We will still provide the same combination of God’s truth and professional expertise that you have come to trust from Sheridan House. Our licensed counselors specialize in a variety of issues including marital and family problems, child and adolescent counseling, and individual concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, and more.

There are so many hurting people in our world today and we are here to help. If you or someone you know is in need of counseling, contact us.

We offer counseling sessions by appointment only in the morning, afternoon, and evening Monday through Friday. To schedule an appointment, call 954-880-9595. Our new central reservation line for both offices is attended Monday through Thursday from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Visit sheridanhouse.org for more information on our counseling services.

A Note From Bob It’s Tee Time! The 29th Annual Sheridan House Golf Tournament is right around the corner and I am so excited.

This fun-filled day is a great time for individuals and businesses to come together in a spirit of fellowship and camaraderie to make a difference in the lives of children and families here in our community. It is, by far, one of the ministry highlights for me each year.

It is tremendously encouraging to see so many men and women committed to encouraging others.

United in purpose, we come together to enjoy a great day of golf to accomplish a greater mission of saving kids and serving families.

I hope that you will be a part of it this year. This event matters because it gives all of us an opportunity to give, restore a life, offer hope, and be a part of a God movement in our neighborhood.

That is something you won’t want to miss! To register, visit shfm.org/golf.

Serving Him,

When Shane arrived at Sheridan House he barely spoke above a whisper. In a house filled with boys all striving to be heard, there sat silent Shane. With a slow to speak and slow to act quality about him, making connections with others in the home was going to take some time.

Shane’s home life was turbulent. He was withdrawn. His academics were suffering. He hid behind silence as a means to escape. As he worked diligently to change his social and academic behaviors, he began to develop leadership skills and confidence. Whenever Shane decided to speak, it was well worth the effort to listen. Shane has a distinct ability to hear the “still small voice” that comes directly from the Heavenly Father. He knows how to be still and know that God is God; and he is comfortable in his uniqueness.

What’s truly remarkable about the nine months Shane spent at Sheridan House is that not only did he find his physical voice, but he also learned how to communicate with others through his passion for music. As quiet as Shane is, he quickly learned that he is a beast on a drum kit. His timing is impeccable, his dynamics are powerful, and his style is original.

We are so proud of Shane. He entered Sheridan House as a quiet boy, but he graduated as a strong silent young man who has a keen sense of who God is and who he is in Christ. The music God has placed in his heart resonates God’s goodness and we trust it will not go unheard.
