What Christian Counseling Associates does

Christian Counseling Associates (CCA) is a private, for-profit outpatient mental health counseling practice founded in 2009 by Dr. Richard Hoffman and headquartered in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. The company delivers faith-integrated clinical counseling services to individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents across 25+ physical office locations spanning Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, New York, Arkansas, and Kentucky, with an additional international location in Monrovia, Liberia, and telehealth services in Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. Its service portfolio spans individual counseling, marriage and family therapy, child and adolescent counseling, and state-certified substance addiction treatment through the DACCA (Drug and Alcohol Christian Counseling) program, supplemented by advanced modalities such as Alpha-Stim cranial electrotherapy stimulation and Freespira biofeedback, psychiatric medication support, and group therapy (TAG Groups).

The underlying technology stack is a conventional digital-health infrastructure: a self-serve online booking portal (booking.ccawpa.com), a CCA client portal, secure video telehealth, and online payment processing. Differentiation rests on the integration of Christian faith and biblical principles with evidence-based therapeutic methods (CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, EMDR, trauma-informed care), state licensing agency certification for addiction programs, and the in-house Foundation For Christian Counseling (FFCC) which drives donations and community outreach.

The business model is primarily fee-for-service clinical revenue from individual and group counseling sessions, billed through insurance (including Medicaid in Westmoreland County, PA) and self-pay, which functions as a recurring session-based stream across ongoing treatment plans. Secondary revenue streams include workshops and seminars (Extraordinary Parenting, Extraordinary Marriage, and onsite church seminars), clinical supervision for licensure-track counselors, and DACCA rescue-mission partnership delivery. Go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer in-person and telehealth delivery with a sales-led call center (724-396-1510) and self-serve booking, supported by content marketing (71+ podcast episodes, blogs, social media) and church/ministry partnerships. No external equity, debt funding, or M&A activity is disclosed, and the company is independently owned and operated.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Talkspace: Public secular teletherapy platform with B2B2C distribution — comparable to CCA on online counseling delivery, but generalist versus faith-integrated positioning.
• BetterHelp: Largest secular online counseling platform — competes with CCA's telehealth offering on price and convenience, but lacks the faith-integrated clinical differentiator.

Broad incumbents

• Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation: National nonprofit addiction treatment provider with faith-adjacent 12-step orientation; comparable on the DACCA substance use counseling line, though operating at much larger scale and acuity level.
• Caron Treatment Centers: Established faith-influenced addiction treatment provider — comparable to CCA's DACCA services, though primarily residential and at higher acuity than CCA's outpatient model.
• Banner Health (Behavioral Health Services): Large health system operating outpatient behavioral health and counseling clinics across multiple states — adjacent incumbent that competes with CCA on insured outpatient counseling demand.
• Catholic Charities USA (member agencies): National network of faith-based social service agencies offering outpatient counseling and family services at much larger scale; broader portfolio but overlapping faith-integrated clinical offerings.

Direct peers

• Rosecrance: Nonprofit behavioral health provider offering outpatient mental health and substance use treatment across multiple sites; comparable to CCA on multi-site clinical delivery and addiction recovery focus.
• Samaritas: Faith-rooted human services organization operating counseling, behavioral health, and family services across Michigan and the Midwest — similar faith-based outpatient mental health delivery.
• Christian Family Solutions: Lutheran-affiliated counseling provider with multi-state outpatient mental health services and a faith-integrated clinical model — directly comparable to CCA on values-based counseling positioning.
• Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services: Michigan-based Christian-affiliated behavioral health system offering outpatient counseling, addiction services, and psychiatric care — the closest large-scale analog to CCA's faith-integrated, multi-site clinical model.
