Central Dupage Pastoral Counseling Center

What Central Dupage Pastoral Counseling Center does

Central Dupage Pastoral Counseling Center (CDPCC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit mental health organization founded in 1976 by Dr. William Enright and Dr. Charles Alcorn in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, and now headquartered at 507 Thornhill Drive in Carol Stream. The Center provides clinical mental health services that intentionally integrate licensed psychological practice with Christian theology and spiritual care, serving individuals, couples, families, and children (ages 3 through young adulthood) across DuPage County and, via telehealth, anywhere in Illinois.

Service lines include individual counseling, couples and family therapy, child and adolescent therapy with a dedicated play therapy room, comprehensive neuropsychological and psychological testing, marriage preparation workshops, clergy and church consultation, spiritual direction, and supervised intern therapy at reduced rates. The clinical team comprises roughly 13 licensed counselors plus approximately 4 administrative staff and 3 doctoral-level interns, all operating under a designated HIPAA compliance officer and a clinical director.

The business model combines fee-for-service clinical revenue with insurance reimbursement (in-network with BCBS of Illinois PPO and Aetna, partial Medicare), supplemented by an annual fund drive, Living Mission Fund contributions from 25+ affiliate and associate churches, and an endowment administered through the DuPage Foundation. Technology is limited to standard HIPAA-compliant infrastructure: JotForm for intake and consent forms, PsyQuel for billing, and Zoom/Doxy.me/FaceTime for telehealth. Distribution is driven primarily by referrals from the affiliate church network in DuPage County plus word-of-mouth, with content marketing via blog, email newsletter, and a modest Facebook presence. The Center is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2026 under newly appointed Executive Director Dr. Genalin Niere-Metcalf.
