Ready to start a counseling center at your organization for your community?
If you have the space and the desire to serve, but budget is the main obstacle, there is a path forward. Cumberland Counseling Centers partners with community donors and corporate sponsors to help qualified organizations launch professional mental health counseling centers right where people live.
WHY THIS PAGE EXISTS
We remove barriers for care - and for partners.
Cumberland Counseling is passionate about increasing access to high-quality mental health care for individuals, couples, and families. We also believe in removing obstacles for community partners who want to embed that care into their own organizations.
Through donor support, qualified organizations may receive a scholarship-based launch pathway that reduces upfront financial risk while building toward long-term sustainability.
THE OPPORTUNITY
A trusted local organization can become a place of healing.
Many churches and nonprofit organizations are already trusted by their communities. They see the emotional and relational needs up close. What they often lack is not vision - but the funding and infrastructure needed to launch a high-quality counseling center.
This page introduces a donor-supported pathway that helps mission-aligned organizations bring mental health counseling into their community space with less risk and more support.
1. Share Your Vision
Tell us about your organization, your available space, and the needs you see in your community.
2. Apply for a Launch Scholarship
Qualified organizations can be considered for donor-supported funding that lowers the financial barrier to getting started.
3. Embed a Counseling Center
CCC helps establish a professional counseling center inside your organization using our clinical and operational model.
4. Grow to Sustainability
Your site launches with support and grows toward a sustainable long-term partnership that serves your community for years to come.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Organizations that are mission-ready and community-minded.
1. Available private office space for counseling sessions
2. A genuine desire to serve the wider community, not only internal members
3. A heart for helping uninsured, underinsured, and low-income families access care
4. Leadership alignment and willingness to build toward long-term sustainability

THE OPPORTUNITY
So, here’s the Launch Scholarship:
Through the generosity of our donors, Cumberland Counseling Centers is able to offer Launch Scholarships to a select number of partner organizations each year.
These scholarships are designed to reduce financial barriers and accelerate the launch of a fully functioning clinical counseling center within your space.
We recognize that many churches and organizations feel called to provide mental health care to their communities, but may not yet have the budget to make it possible. The Launch Scholarship exists to bridge that gap.
