Specialties
ARC Counseling provides compassionate, relationship-centered counseling for children, teens, adults, couples, and families in Buford, Georgia. We believe people heal through relationships, so our therapists focus on creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, and able to be themselves.
Our team supports clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, parenting concerns, and other emotional or behavioral challenges. We offer individual counseling, couples counseling, play therapy, and Christian counseling for clients who would like to incorporate their faith.
Each therapist brings a unique approach, but all of our work is grounded in authentic connection and tailored to the needs of the individual. Our goal is to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and build lives that feel healthier, more connected, and more fulfilling.
History
Established in 2023.
ARC Counseling was founded in 2023 with the belief that people heal through relationships. What began as a small counseling practice has grown into a team of therapists who share a commitment to authentic connection, compassionate care, and understanding each person within the context of their experiences, relationships, and faith.
ARC has always provided counseling for children, teens, adults, couples, and families. As our team has grown, so has our ability to serve more people in our community while remaining grounded in the values behind our name: Authentic Relational Connections. In 2026, we moved into a larger Buford office designed to provide a warm, welcoming space where meaningful connection and healing can happen.
