For 55 years, KP Counseling Center has kept one promise: no one is turned away.

In 1971, a small group of Charleston clergy, physicians, and lay leaders saw people in their own congregations carrying more than they could hold alone — with nowhere affordable to bring it. So they built one. On June 1, 1972, KP Counseling Center opened its doors on a sliding scale, and it has never once turned someone away for inability to pay.

Fifty-five years later, that promise is harder to keep than ever — and more necessary. KPCC now serves West Virginia families across all 55 counties, offering individual, couples, and family counseling grounded in both clinical rigor and a faith-motivated understanding of healing. Every session on our sliding scale is made possible by the Client Sponsorship Fund, which closes the gap between what a family can afford and what care actually costs.

This November, we're celebrating that legacy with A Night for KPCC: 55 Years Strong — an evening of heavy hors d'oeuvres, entertainment, a look back at 55 years of showing up for this state, a silent auction, and birthday cake, all in support of the fund that makes our work possible.

Every ticket, every bid, and every gift goes directly toward making sure the next person who needs us finds the same door open that we've kept open since 1972. Join us, and help carry this work into its next 55 years.
