| CCA | WE PROVIDE | WE HELP | STAFF | FEES | LOCATION |

Christian Counseling Associates, Inc. is a non-profit Christian group practice which was incorporated in 1979.

• As a Christian practice, our staff is committed to Jesus and His church. We seek to incorporate Biblical values into our own lives and into our work with clients. We do not require that our clients believe or practice the Christian faith, but it is important that our clients realize that our staff do so. All members of our staff are in agreement with our Statement of Faith, which is part of the bylaws of Christian Counseling Associates, Inc., and are members of various churches.
  
• As a group practice, our staff are trained and competent professional therapists. Within the group is a variety of experience, skills, and professional identifications. We meet regularly as a staff in order to support one another and stay familiar with important new information in the Mental Health fields.
• As a non-profit practice, the fees we receive are used to pay the costs of maintaining our offices, billing and record keeping, and providing the best possible services to our clients. We are able to adjust out-of-pocket costs to our clients, where necessary, according to a scale which takes into account a client's total family income and family size.
