Cardinal Counseling Group
Cardinal Counseling Group was founded in 2023 with a vision to reimagine what a therapy practice could be for both the therapists who work here and the clients they serve. At CCG, we believe meaningful work and joy in the process go hand in hand. We're proud to be a growing team grounded in two core values: therapists deserve to be paid fairly, and mental health care should be accessible to those who need it. Every clinician here is committed to providing high-quality care in a space that fosters growth, healing, and authenticity. We're collaborative. We're a little silly. We're real. And we care deeply about creating a space where both therapists and clients can thrive.
