Therapists
All of the therapists who participate in the CCC are vetted for their professional qualifications and their profession of faith as Christians who have an active relationship with Christ. They understand the application of faith in counseling as an important part of growing and healing. All CCC therapists are professionally trained, representing a variety of specialties, credentials, licenses, areas of focus, and pastoral qualifications. The majority of our therapists are licensed in Pennsylvania as Licensed Professional Counselors or Licensed Social Workers, or are under supervision while pursuing licensure.
Our therapists’ insurance credentialings represent a variety of payment options for clients, including: Aetna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, CCBHO, Cigna, Gateway, Health America, Highmark, Tricare, United Behavioral Health, United Health Care, UPMC, and UPMC for You, Value Options, and direct pay. How you pay for counseling is determined when you call for counseling and talk with our Intake Coordinator, Carol Landfried. We attempt to meet your ability to pay as best as possible, using whatever options we have available. Our goal is to help you get counseling regardless of your ability to pay. We welcome any questions you may have about our counselors and about the services we offer.
