The Christian Counselors Collaborative
The Christian Counselors Collaborative (CCC) at ACAC is a non-profit organization which provides professional counseling for families, children, and individuals, with the Christian faith walk applied in the counseling process, as desired by the counselee. This is available to anyone in the ACAC church family, and to anyone who does not attend ACAC, in the Pittsburgh area, and the surrounding counties.
The CCC is located in the Union Place Building at ACAC (4th floor), and is made up of therapists from ACAC, the Pittsburgh Pastoral Institute, and independent therapists in private practice. All therapists share the same faith in Christ as Savior and Lord, and a desire to work with clients in a spiritual context relevant to their Christian faith.
The CCC not only provides counseling at ACAC, but also encourages professional Christian counselors throughout the Pittsburgh area, to network and support each other through shared learning, resources, and supervision. Monthly, from September through May, there is a CCC Peer Supervision meeting for any professional counselor who wants to join in a sharing and learning session.
