The Compassionate Grace Counseling Center is a faith-based counseling program whose purpose is to provide low-to-no cost counseling to the community.
Called to purpose in 2010, the Compassionate Grace Counseling Center operates under a need-based sliding fee. The counseling program is entirely funded by donations, grants and session fees. In order to support the ministry, please consider contributing whatever amount you are able and feel compelled to. However, session fees should never deter you from seeking help. If you are unable to pay your session fees, please speak openly with your counselor. As with everything, God will provide.
Under the direction of Justin Griepentrog MSW LGSW, our counselors are licensed mental health professionals who provide high quality counseling from a faith-based perspective. Each of the counselors is an experienced clinician in his/her respective field, but each also believes that God has a place in counseling.
