Strengthen Your Business. Support Your People. Equip Your Leadership.
A partnership program designed to care for business owners, leaders, and employees across Southeast Georgia.
Description:
Behind every business are people carrying real burdens—stress, family struggles, addiction, grief, and mental health challenges.
Most leaders want to help.
Few have the resources to do it well.
The Business Alliance Program exists so you don’t have to carry that responsibility alone.
The Leadership Development Program is designed to strengthen leaders from the inside out: personally, professionally, and spiritually. We come alongside business owners, managers, and emerging leaders to help them navigate the weight of leadership with wisdom, integrity, and confidence.
Through a combination of coaching, practical tools, and faith-integrated guidance, we help leaders grow in their ability to lead people well, make sound decisions, and cultivate a healthy workplace culture.

Getting Started
We work with you to ensure the process is simple, aligned with your business, and easy for employees to access.
Cord of 3 is a nonprofit ministry that has worked in Southeast Georgia for 18 years. We are recognized as a provider for the American Association of Christian Counselors and by Focus on the Family Counselor Referral Network.
Our counselors are all master’s level or higher clinicians with degrees in Professional Counseling or Marriage and Family Therapy. Degrees include: Master level, Specialist level, and PhD level clinicians. We are all licensed or licensed eligible with the state of Georgia (licensed eligible means they are completing the necessary supervision requirements post-master’s degree for the Georgia licensure board). Some hold specialized certifications such as: Certified Addictions Counselor II (CAC II), Registered Play Therapist (RPT), Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS), National Board Certification (NBC), Trauma Counselor Certification (STAR & TF-CBT), and various other certifications.
Cord of 3 provides sound clinical counseling in that we use evidence based models of therapy to guide the treatment planning and interventions used with the families we serve. These models are: Structural Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Strategic Trauma Abuse and Recovery. We do not use any models that hold a humanistic worldview as the tenets of therapy. While our counselors are trained with all the theories of counseling, we are selective in which models we use so that we can maintain the integrity of Biblical Truth in the counseling sessions.
We communicate with all of the families we serve that we believe the Bible, not psychology, is the authority on life. Therefore, this changes the approach that we take to the counseling sessions. We then have certain measures we monitor to make sure the Bible is used as the standard for all counseling sessions.
To be employed with Cord of 3, it is a requirement that you are an active member of a healthy Bible believing church in order to provide counseling to families.
Also, in every treatment plan with the families we serve, we have a specific focus on cultivating the “client’s” identity in Christ. A successful discharge from counseling at Cord of 3 includes the family having gone through this ‘Identity in Christ’ counseling and we look for the fruit of the spirit as our primary outcome measure in this area.
Cord of 3 monitors the spiritual health of the staff through 3 parameters
As a Christian agency, Cord of 3 does reserve the right to screen employees on the basis of our statement of faith. We expect all employees to agree to and to abide within our statement of faith.
Join the Business Alliance Program today and equip your ministry with the tools, training, and support to strengthen your Business and advance God’s Kingdom.

Our Nonprofit Alliance Program is dedicated to empowering other nonprofits to thrive through Kingdom-focused principles, guiding them toward sustainability and growth in Program Development, Strategic Planning, Advancement, Financial Accounting, and Capital Campaign management. We offer tiered service levels to meet nonprofits at their stage of development and growth goals.
The Cord of 3 training and discipleship program serves the community by offering educational seminars on various mental health and related topics (parenting subjects, coping with loss, warning signs of addiction) as well as conferences, retreats, and seminars for area churches on matters that pertain to God’s design for the family.
Cord of 3’s Counselor education and supervision program is deigned to support interns who are completing their master’s degree, counselors who are working toward licensure, and professionals who are working to integrate their Chritian faith into their clinical practice.
Cord of 3’s equine therapy program is designed for individuals ages 7 and up as well as women ages 13+ and families. Equine therapy can help individuals and families overcome challenges, cuiltivate healthy relational skills, build trust, improve interpersonal and behavioral functioning, and create positive self-concept and identity in Christ.
A Christ-centered play therapy model to meet the spiritual, emotional, and mental health needs of children. Through play therapy, children learn to accept responsibility for behavior, engage in healthy coping strategies, acquire problem-solving skills, develop empathy for others, and gain an understanding of identity in Christ.
Addictions always originate in pain… The question is never ‘why the addiction?,’ but rather ‘why the pain?’” (Dr. Gabor Maté). Counselors can help those struggling with addictions address underlying painful issues and then break the addictive patterns.
Behavioral issues at home or in school often have an underlying cause, such as trauma, depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions. The experienced staff at Cord of 3 meets each child with love, builds trust, and applies effective treatment that approaches the root cause of the behavior.
Every person will at some point have at least one potentially traumatic experience, but this doesn’t impact everyone in the same ways. When struggling to process and move on from negative life experiences, therapy offers a powerful method of finding support and healing.
Individual counseling can help overcome the sometimes overwhelming fear and hopelessness by helping you better understand the conditions that led to the emotional brokenness you are experiencing, and applying healthy coping skills against them.
