The mission of both agencies were similar and designed to offer Biblically-based counseling services to the public at an affordable cost. In 2010, Upward Call and Shepherd's Touch combined resources to merge as one agency under the corporate name of Upward Call Counseling Services, also doing business as Shepherd's Touch.
Dr. James E. Johnson serves as Executive Director. Bob Weaver is currently involved as a liaison to plain {Amish/Mennonite} communities. We continue to provide Biblically based counseling services and have expanded our services to include counselor training opportunities for Pastors and lay counselors and seminars on topics such as Depression, Addiction, Marriage & Family, Sexuality and Finances.

We treat Depression and Anxiety using Family Systems Therapy as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Often times, severe Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and Anxiety are best treated with therapy combined with medication. We do not have a Psychiatrist on staff at Upward Call; if it is determined that a person would likely benefit from medication we will refer the person to their PCP or psychiatrist for medication management.
