Care and Counseling Center of Gainesville

The Care and Counseling Center of Georgia is a nonprofit, ecumenical organization offering counseling and pastoral care to individuals, couples, families, and groups.

The Care and Counseling Center is built upon a strong foundation: a union of two established counseling programs formerly known as the Georgia association for Pastoral Care and The Verdery Center for Pastoral Care and Counseling of the Georgia Baptist Healthcare System.

Together these programs have a combined history of over 90 years in the field of Pastoral Counseling and Care; a rich history that secures our mission.

This mission is “to provide healing, wholeness, and hope and to educate others for this service,” and it is carried out through three main programs.  These are Pastoral Counseling and Psychotherapy, The Institute for Chaplaincy and Clinical Pastoral Education, and Training for Pastoral Counseling.

You Are Not Alone
Counseling in the pastoral tradition serves
people of all faiths as well as those who
profess no religious belief. Therapists understand
that effective counseling respects the individual
beliefs and spiritual values of each person.

Everyone faces stress and pressures
in his/her daily life. Often you or someone
you care about may feel overwhelmed by
feelings of anxiety, fear, loneliness, sadness,
or anger. Whether you are considering a career
change, having marital difficulties, or coping
with depression, grief, or illness, the Care and
Counseling Center is here for you.
You are not alone.

 Care and Counseling Center of Gainesville 
serves those of every gender, race, creed,
and ethnic background and makes its
services affordable to all.
