KPCC is here to help you have a better relationship with yourself and with others. We do this by offering counseling and education events at an affordable cost with sensitivity to the spiritual aspects of life. KPCC is private non-profit counseling center incorporated in the state of West Virginia. Pastoral means peaceful, accepting, simple, ministry. Counseling means support, guidance, healing, help.

We serve the Greater Kanawha Valley of West Virginia. KPCC is an accredited, faith-sensitive, counseling center practicing a ministry of acceptance. We start with people where they are, and help them get to where they want to be. We were founded in 1971, and have offices throughout South Central West Virginia.
