Restoring Hope Through Awareness
Mimosa Christian Counseling Center
Burke County
Who of us has experienced challenges and struggles in our lives? Yes, we all have!
Statistics tell us that approximately 20% of us deal with mental health issues. People of all ages
deal with emotional hurts and scars that prevent them from realizing the vital roles God has
given them for this life on earth.
Since 1949 Mental Health Awareness Month has been emphasized in May. Its purpose
has been to raise awareness and educate people about mental illness. Types of mental illness
include depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Several organizations in America run
campaigns that emphasize what it’s like living with these conditions, strategies for achieving
mental health and wellness, and truths that reduce the negative attitudes and misconceptions
associated with mental illness. These campaigns take the form of media, local events, and film
screenings.
Twenty years ago God began Mimosa Christian Counseling Center (MCCC) as a vehicle to
“restore hope and relationships for a better community through Christ-centered professional
counseling”, which is the mission of the Center. From the beginning, those who provide the
counseling and those who support the counseling ministry know each person is created by God
and has a unique purpose and plan. They also believe the gifts from God to achieve the plans
are sometimes unrealized because of emotional issues.
Some of the needs served by MCCC are depression, anxiety, stress, worry, grief, loss,
marital and premarital counseling, issues related to trauma or abuse, recovery from separation
and/or divorce, self-worth, and relational concerns. The Center serves individuals from age
four(4) to sixty-four(64), families, and couples.
The counseling services of MCCC are provided by well-trained, compassionate, and caring
counselors who strive to help restore hope, encourage personal growth, heal emotional wounds,
and strengthen one’s faith in God. These counselors integrate their professional counseling
methods with Biblical truths and principles. In addition, they recognize the role of the Holy Spirit
in emotional healing.
Mimosa Christian Counseling Center is a 501(c)(3) Christian based, community-supported
organization that has served over 2000 area families, adults, and children in need.
Location and Contact information for The Center is:
220 Burkemont Avenue in Morganton, NC 28655
828-433-5600
As the counselors of MCCC and other counseling centers and agencies address mental
health challenges that millions of Americans face daily, we are encouraged that God’s Love
extends to all people and He provides support, services, and Hope to those who are in need.
The month of May has been designated as Mental Health Awareness Month so that we all gain
knowledge, education, and understanding of mental illness and its effects on many lives
