The South Florida Association of Christian Counselors (SFACC) was started in 2005 by faculty in the graduate Counseling Psychology program at Palm Beach Atlantic University who had a desire to help Christian counselors within South Florida meet each other and form an organization that would encourage Christian counselors to integrate their faith with their counseling practices.
The faculty also wanted to provide a vehicle for helping pastors become aware of Christian counselors with expertise in various types of counseling issues. Without a means of finding Christian counselors with various specialties, pastors often had no way of identifying Christian counselors with expertise in the areas their parishioners needed counseling.
In 2009 we revamped our membership criteria and developed an user-friendly website to faciliate online searches for Christian counselors according to category and for counselors to join and post their profiles on our online Counselor Directory.
