The mission of the California Baptist University Counseling Center is to provide professionally competent and personally compassionate care for the individuals, couples, and families who come to us for counseling services. It is our intent to provide these services in accord with sound Biblical principles and Christian values.

Further, we are dedicated to facilitating the healing of emotional distress in promoting personal growth and development of individuals, marriages, and families.

We are also committed to being an education and training resource, first to the California Baptist University Marriage and Family Therapy (M.F.T.) Graduate Program and to the community by providing interested churches, schools, and groups with speakers, seminars, and training programs.

Counseling Center Director: Dr. Alan R. McThomas
