The Georgia Board of Examiners for Christian Counselors & Therapists is now the Georgia Board for Christian Counselors, as you may see in the new logo above.
We have been contemplating removing the word therapists from our name for a while now and, after much research, have determined that we do not fit the definition of therapists. Below are the definitions of a counselor and therapist.
Along with the name change, certified counselors will be receiving the following beginning July 1st, 2024:
In order to provide these additional services and ensure the continued protection of Georgia's Christian counselors, anyone paying their dues on or after July 1st, 2024, will be paying $250 for their 2-year certification.
Rest assured, that even after July 1, you can still visit the website either by navigating to the old website name, www.G-B-O-E.com, or by navigating via our new website name, which is www.GeorgiaBoardForChristianCounselors.com. Both will take you to the same website.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jack Kelly, Chairman, Dr. Julia Kelly, Dr. Connie Langford, Dr. Barbara Beeler, Dr. Tim Pendrey, Dr. Charles Travis
