We believe that the diversity of human life is a gift that enriches us all.

HISTORY OF BPC

Brookland Pastoral Center moved to its present location at 1325 Quincy Street, NE, a quiet tree-lined neighborhood, in 1993. There are seven therapy offices as well as group meeting space and a kitchen in this converted single-family house. The Center was founded in 1992 by staff from the Marian Home of Prayer who wanted to offer therapy in a setting where spirituality was respected. Although BPC’s roots were Catholic, the understanding of spirituality is broad; presently there are therapists who are Catholic, Protestant, Unitarian-Universalist, Buddhist, and Pagan. Brookland Pastoral Center has been a limited liability partnership since 1999. This change clarified that each therapist is in individual private practice and is responsible for the care of his/her own clients. Participating therapists work in a collegial environment, dedicated to excellence in care.
