Our Story
When we opened our doors in 1980, we were the very first private mental health group practice in Chesterfield County. From the beginning, we were welcomed with open arms by the Chesterfield Community Mental Health Center, physicians, schools and the community at large. Over the past four decades, we have been an established and highly trusted source for psychological care.
In 2001, Family Guidance Centers made another hallmark decision, reaching out to provide mental health services to the underserved community of Powhatan.
In 2016, we expanded to serve the needs of the fast-growing Midlothian area.
In 2020, Family Guidance Centers opened a new location to serve the community of Henrico and Richmond city area. We also began offering Telehealth services as an integral part of our practice.
In 2021, we opened our Virginia Beach location to serve the Tidewater area.
In 2022, we opened our Glen Allen and Brandermill locations!
In 2023, our Newport News location was opened.

Throughout the years, Family Guidance Centers has contributed to the well-being of countless individuals.
