A Noble Hug

The Family Counseling Center of Greater Washington (FCCGW) is a counseling and mental health services center located in Vienna, Virginia, providing a full range of counseling and mental health services to adults and children living in and around Fairfax County. FCCGW is the only non-profit organization in the area that is primarily devoted to Professional Counseling and Mental Health Services with a focus on Korean/Asian Americans.

 In 1974, 26 Christian women in the area first established the Family Counseling Center of Greater Washington. Their intent was to help immigrant families as they settled in their new country. Our founders wanted to provide help to those families as many were struggling with the English language, experiencing cultural differences, and had a difficult time adjusting to a new environment.

 As the immigrant families adjusted to their adopted country, new problems emerged. In response, in the early 1980's, FCCGW began to help deflate pressures, conflicts and problems within these families by offering professional counseling services provided by highly trained, culturally astute, bilingual and compassionate counselors.

 Our motto is, “Healthy Individual, Happy Family, & Harmonious Community.” It has been at the core of our very being. It is the reason we provide counseling services for individuals, couples and families, parents and children, and children and youth. We are a Virginia Certified Parenting Education Class Provider and we also provide counseling services in the privacy of client's home. For low-income seniors, we provide senior programs that support socialization for persons who are often linguistically isolated.

As we continue to lend a helping hand to individuals and families who are struggling with mental health conditions, we ask for your unwavering support and partnership. Together, we will continue to serve; together we will grow in the process; and together we will provide a noble hug to those who come to us in need.
