Who We Are

CentrePointe Counseling provides access to licensed, professional, Christian counselors in Maryland, DC and Northern Virginia. Many insurance types are accepted, and Samaritan Fund grants are available. Clients of all types are welcome. Our counselors are experienced with treating couples, families, adults, adolescents and children.

Why We Do It

Counseling impacts the “center point” at which mental wellness begins. As healing begins, it creates a ripple effect: healthy individuals lead to healthy couples, families, churches and schools, and ultimately a healthy community.

What We Do

Our counselors work to help clients improve relationships, handle emotional struggles, negotiate life transitions, and find healing. We affirm the faith-based aspect of the counseling process, and at the same time, uphold scientific advances in the understanding of biological and psychological human functioning.

You Can Help!

Samaritan Fund

Donate to our Samaritan Fund or to our general fund to help people without health insurance or with unaffordable co-pays. CentrePointe does not turn anyone away based on an inability to pay alone, but we can only continue providing care through generous donations from supporters like you.

Staying Centered

We send occasional updates (less than once a month!) with prayer requests, event updates, and anything else that’s happening at CentrePointe.

We will never share, sell, rent, or give away your email address, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer online counseling?

Yes. We offer counseling both in person and through secure online telehealth. Online counseling is available to anyone located in Maryland or Washington, D.C., so you can meet with your counselor from the comfort of home.

What will counseling cost me out of pocket?

It depends on your coverage. We accept most major insurance plans, so for many clients counseling is covered with just a copay. If you're paying out of pocket, our front desk will walk you through your options before your first session — just call (800) 491-5369. We never want cost to be the reason someone can't get help: our Samaritan Fund assists clients with high copays or no insurance, and we do not turn anyone away based on an inability to pay alone.

Do you take my insurance?

We accept most major health plans, including Kaiser Permanente, CareFirst/BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Optum/UnitedHealthcare, Johns Hopkins Health Plans, Medicaid, Medicare, and TriCare. (We do not accept EAP plans.) Not sure about yours? Call (800) 491-5369 and we'll verify your benefits.

What areas do you serve?

We have offices across Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia — including Ellicott City, Fulton, Ashton, Clarksburg, Derwood, Olney, Bowie, Dunkirk, Severn, Parkville, and Knoxville. Prefer to meet online? Secure telehealth is available throughout Maryland and D.C. See all of our locations.

Do you partner with churches?

Yes. Through our Church Partnership Program we provide Christ-centered counseling, consultation, lectures and seminars, and priority scheduling for partner congregations. Partner churches enter a covenant relationship with us so we can extend hope and care to their members and wider community. Learn more on our Churches page.

Are you a nonprofit? Can I donate?

Yes — CentrePointe is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit ministry with Platinum Transparency through Candid/GuideStar. Donations are what make affordable, faith-integrated counseling possible, and every gift goes directly toward our mission. You can give on our Giving page.

How are donations used?

Your gifts directly fund counseling for people who couldn't otherwise afford it. The Samaritan Fund subsidizes care for uninsured and underinsured clients, Women Helping Women provides financial aid for women and children in need, and our General Fund helps us expand capacity to serve more churches and families. For example, $50 helps make counseling affordable for an individual client.

What kind of counseling do you offer?

Professional, faith-integrated counseling for individuals, couples, families, children, and teens — for anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, marriage and communication, parenting, and spiritual growth. Our licensed counselors combine clinical excellence with genuine Christian faith.

How do I get started?

It takes just a few minutes. Apply online or call (800) 491-5369 with a little basic information about what you're looking for. We'll match you with a counselor based on your needs, availability, and preferences — no waitlist — and confirm your rate. Then you meet your counselor in person or by secure telehealth, often within the same week.

Is counseling confidential?

Yes. Your privacy matters to us, and conversations with your counselor are kept confidential in keeping with professional and legal standards.
