About CCE

The Center for Counseling & Education, an independent, not-for-profit pastoral counseling center, helps mend the minds, hearts and souls of men, women and children. 

What type of therapy is offered at CCE?

The Center provides psychotherapy, spiritual growth groups, clergy self-care, and community education for the healing of individuals and families.

What is the cost of Pastoral Counseling?

Counseling fees are based on the amount of time involved and on the type of help needed. Ordinarily, appointments are once a week and last about 50 minutes. Group therapy may go for a two-hour period. There is a range of fees. CCE utilizes a subsidized fee policy based on income and a client's general ability to pay. Thanks to the generosity of our contributors, the "Mulford Scholarship Fund" is available to cover counseling fees for those who come to us with limited financial resources.

Since 1983, the Center has been reaching out to all in need. Staff are fully licensed professionals who are members of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors. Fees are set according to income and family size; insurance is accepted.

 Today, more than 34 diverse congregations support CCE as the pastoral counseling resource for their members and the greater Tulsa community. Clients and congregations of all faiths are welcome.
