We provide individual, couples, family, and group counseling from two locations in West Michigan. The Fountain Hill Center was founded in 1975 by Central Reformed Church in Grand Rapids as "The Marriage and Family Center" by a group of lay members who believed that if the Church was to take "caring" seriously, it needed to create a counseling center that would serve both the congregation of Central and the greater Grand Rapids community. Andy Atwood, then working at Central as a part-time Minister to Singles, became the Center's first and founding staff member and began offering counseling services from the first floor of The Bundy House, a historic home located in the Heritage Hill neighborhood of Grand Rapids. In 1986, the Center's operations expanded to the second floor of The Bundy House, and in 1991, with the help of a generous and supportive donor, The Marriage and Family Center was able to purchase the entire house from Central Reformed Church for use as a counseling center. In 1996, The Marriage and Family Center changed its name to The Fountain Hill Center for Counseling and Consultation. Today, over a dozen therapists and interns provide counseling services from The Bundy House and a secondary office located in New Era, MI, which opened in 2002. As a Center, we work together to hone our counseling practices and put our vocations to work responding to the mental health and wellness needs of our clients, neighborhoods, and West Michigan community.
