We are all about Connection! As a group private practice, Counseling Connect provides mental health and wellness services for individuals, couples, and groups. We work with clients of all ages and backgrounds.
We provide in-person counseling in Christiansburg, VA. Telehealth is available for Virginia residents, including live video sessions and text-based therapy via secure messaging. Service contracts are available for individuals or employers to purchase therapy sessions in bulk.
Community Service & Social Justice
Our counselors are committed to advocating for positive social change and diversity inclusion. To further this goal, we are working on several community service projects, including events to promote LGBTQ pride and suicide prevention. We specialize in care for first responders through a program we launched in 2023 called Helping Our Helper. We also offer seminars to businesses that want to improve the well-being of their employees.
Supervision & Mentorship
Our practice is founded on a mentorship model. It’s designed to nurture the professional development of pre-licensed clinicians. We hire graduate interns and Resident in Counseling to give them opportunities for growth before and after they become independently licensed. Clinical supervision is provided by Rae Burgess and Ginny Puckett, who are both Licensed Professional Counselors and Board Certified Supervisors.
Helping Our Helpers
Through the program Helping Our Helpers, we offer professional counseling and wellness services for first responders. Counseling Connect is proud to be the mental health provider for the Montgomery County Fire-EMS department.
We are contracted with NRV 911 Authority to provide behavioral health services to dispatchers. We’re committed to giving them the support and respect they deserve. Dispatchers are our FIRST first responders.
Counseling Connect works with the Town of Christiansburg to provide mental health care for employees of the Police, Fire, and EMS departments. We are the emotional first aid for our first responders.
Our practice developed an integrated healthcare model, which goes beyond the limitations of traditional employee-assistance plans, to ensure that our clients have access to high quality, consistent, and trauma-informed treatment and prevention.
