Christian Counseling Professionals of Chicagoland began in January 2011 with over 30 individuals from 17 Christian counseling agencies gathered at Meier Clinics of Wheaton. In this initial meeting, we discussed ways to collaborate and offer mutual training, marketing, and outreach projects. A Steering Committee was formed and met faithfully each month to create objectives and goals as a unified group of believers.

Christian Counseling Professionals of Chicagoland is a supportive counseling association committed to spiritual growth and service to our communities by promoting awareness of mental health issues and providing professional development. We desire to create a greater collaboration between churches, ministry leaders and Christian counselors for the greatest impact possible in service to others.
