I have an exciting announcement: If you or a loved one live in the city of Marion and need quality counseling services but are afraid it is unattainable, I've got good news!

Marion has awarded Caring Counseling Ministries a grant allowing us to provide subsidized counseling services to qualifying residents for only $35 a session.

These sessions are available to children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples.

Moreover, our highly qualified counselors will provide brief, solution-focused sessions for problems ranging from mental health and relationship issues to addiction recovery.

These subsidized services are designed to meet the needs of our residents who are either uninsured or unable to use their insurance due to high deductibles or the unavailability of an in-network provider. Call now for more information at (618) 997-2129.

If you don't know who we are, allow me to introduce you to CCM. Caring Counseling Ministries is a 501c3 counseling agency established in 1989, to provide Christian counseling to residents of southern Illinois at affordable prices.

CCM was the 2020 and 2022 recipient of the Best Family Counseling and Best in Mental Health (respectively) awards from the Marion Chamber of Commerce and a finalist for last year's Reader's Choice Award for Best Mental Health Provider in southern Illinois.

Since its conception in 1989, CCM has provided high-quality mental health, divorce recovery, grief, marriage and family counseling, child and adolescent counseling, and addictions recovery services to the city of Marion and beyond.

Although the agency's original mission was to provide services to the church, CCM has morphed into a haven for the entire community. That means we exist to help anyone and everyone who comes to us with a need.

So, if you are a Marion resident and fit the above-listed criteria, call us. You have nothing to lose but the burdens you are carrying!
