Our History
Trinity Counseling Center was established by Rae and Bethan Whitely in response to the challenges and inequalities magnified by the pandemic. Witnessing the struggles faced by underserved communities, the Whitelys recognized the urgent need to address emerging mental health needs and provide essential support where it was most lacking.
Understanding the critical role of mental health during times of crisis, Trinity Counseling Center was founded with a clear mission to dismantle barriers to mental health services. The center was created to offer affordable and culturally sensitive counseling to individuals and families navigating tough circumstances. By collaborating with local institutions and community leaders, Trinity Counseling Center strives to positively impact the overall mental well-being of the community, fostering healing and resilience in the midst of adversity.
