Trauma and Recovery | Hope and Healing

Foundations Counseling Center is an outpatient practice based in Athens, AL. Our mission is to provide high quality, accessible services to north Alabama. We do what we can daily to raise our bar higher for our clients, our community, and one another. If you're ready to start your healing journey, you came to the right place.

Our Story

Founded in 2011 by Nancy McDonald, Foundations was built on the belief that everyone has unique strengths and challenges. By working with our clients, we aim to help them tap into their strengths to conquer their challenges on their own terms. Foundations has always been about service. We do everything we can to offer the best treatments to any client, no matter where they're at.

Being in the rural South, options for mental healthcare have traditionally been few and far between. That's why our staff are thoughtfully selected for their clinical aptitudes and the unique skillsets they bring to our group. Our team has clinicians from a wide range of backgrounds, each with a deep pool of knowledge. We're growing so that we can increase options and standards of care in the South, so we would be delighted to grow with you.
