Transformation through counseling

Is your church or organization ready to make a huge impact in mental health?

Our mental health is the foundation for how we view everything, ourselves, the world around us, even God.

Cumberland Counseling Center (CCC) provides a unique partnership for churches to offer clinical mental health counseling to their congregations and community. We know that every type of faith organization has some level of influence in the city they serve, and the goal of the CCC is to equip these organizations with the ability to provide equitable mental health services to all, regardless of income. Churches are uniquely positioned to target vulnerable and marginalized populations, and they are often a highly trusted resource in their communities. We capitalize on this by providing a mutually beneficial program that serves both the Church and the surrounding community.

This model is highly efficient for churches who have been considering hiring a therapist on staff to handle the mental health needs of their community.

Providing a clinical counseling center with trained, licensed professionals from within the walls of your church will create immense impact in your church and surrounding community, sending the message that we care for your life regardless of where you currently are in your faith journey. No longer do we want to only refer outside of the Church for counseling, potentially sending that shaming message that “mess doesn’t belong here.” Church, let’s lead the way in providing best practices for mental health care, bringing people into a deeper relationship with Truth and ultimately leading to true restorative healing.

“GateCity Church has had the opportunity to partner with Cumberland Counseling Centers since January of 2021. We were able to place a clinical mental health center at our church to serve not only our congregation, staff and missionaries, but also our surrounding community. Unfortunately, our pastoral staff has not had the capacity to consistently meet the counseling needs of our growing congregation, especially during a time when we're seeing increasing mental health needs. Alexandra Thompson made the implementation process smooth and simple, and we have seen it to be transformational in many ways. We now have access to 6 therapists who are trained and licensed to care for our church family and community, for the financial investment of approximately 1 staff member, and we have heard incredible things about the care they offer. In addition to offering therapy, they provide our pastors and staff with education & training, resources & referrals, and even educational seminars for our larger community. We're so grateful to be partners with the Cumberland Counseling team and to have such an incredible resource available to care for our community!”

Groups & Classes

Therapeutic Groups: Throughout the year, we offer therapy groups which provide an even deeper sense of connection to others during recovery.
Workshops: Our professionals provide workshops to our community on a range of topics. Workshops are anywhere from 2 hours to full weekends.
GriefShare Support Groups: While it may not ease the pain, understanding that grief is normal can help us cope a little better when we lose a special person or go through a significant change. These groups bring us together to lean on each other for 14 weeks beginning June 14, 2023. Email counseling@cumberlandchurch.org for more details.
Restoring Your Heart Groups: This 14 week group helps individuals identify past areas of pain and places them on a pathway of forgiveness and healing. This could be your very first step in restoring your heart, or one of many steps along the way. But this group will help you understand your past and the effect it has on your present life, help you become more self-aware, help you become more God-aware, provide a pathway to forgiveness and, ultimately, bring you into a closer relationship with God, yourself and others.
