Counseling Center – Christian Counseling & Educational Services
Christian Counseling & Educational Services, commonly referred to as CCES, is a Biblically-based counseling organization based in Hanover, Pennsylvania, with a mailing address at PO Box 1343, Hanover, PA 17331. The practice is led by Dr. Ann Shorb, identified on the site as the organization’s founder. The website describes the counseling team as a group of qualified counselors with a diverse set of abilities and specialties, though individual clinician credentials and specific license types are not listed in detail on the page reviewed.
CCES provides individual counseling for adults, adolescents, and children, alongside couples counseling and family counseling. Group therapy classes are offered as well and are described on the site as typically more cost-effective than standard one-on-one sessions, which the practice frames as an advantage for clients seeking a more affordable path. Beyond direct counseling services, the organization also conducts seminars and Bible studies for local churches and community organizations.
Clinical issues addressed by the counseling team include depression, anxiety and panic, ADD/ADHD, sexual addiction recovery, marriage counseling, and premarital counseling. Faith-integrated guidance is central to the practice’s stated purpose of serving individuals in need through Biblically-grounded principles and support.
Session formats include in-person appointments at the Hanover, Pennsylvania office and phone counseling available to clients throughout the United States, allowing the practice to reach individuals who cannot attend in person. New clients are asked to complete a Personal Data Inventory form prior to their first appointment, which the practice uses to gather background information before the initial session. Dr. Ann Shorb contributes a recurring weekly devotional series titled “A Light for My Path,” and other staff members contribute additional devotional content to the organization’s website, reflecting the faith-based orientation of the organization’s broader work.
Prospective clients can reach the practice by phone at (717) 515-6726. Insurance carriers accepted and session fees are not specified on the page. No year of establishment is stated.
