About Us:

The History of Genesis Counseling Center

Established in 1979 by its founder Gabriel L. Guerrieri, Genesis Counseling Center, a nonprofit organization, has earned a reputation in Southern New Jersey as one of the finest Mental Health and Addictions Treatment Centers in the area.


The "genesis" of Genesis was Gabe's conviction to provide high-quality and innovative mental health and addiction counseling to people in a caring way and within their financial means. With this singular guiding ideal, Genesis has evolved from a grassroots organization offering a variety of behavioral health programs and services across Burlington and Camden counties.


Genesis, which opened its door with only one counselor, now consists of over 50 well-trained and highly educated program staff members, including masters-level therapists, licensed social workers, certified addictions counselors, and licensed professional counselors. A psychiatrist can be used through referrals.


Today, many children, adolescents, adults, families, and seniors receive caring, comprehensive treatment through the various innovative programs run by Genesis. As a counseling center that believes a community is only as healthy as the individuals in it, Genesis has stepped to the forefront, offering unique programs like the Student Assistance Program, the Early Intervention Program for youth and parents, the counseling program at the Camden County Correctional Facility, called Second Chance, United Way Case Management Program in Camden City, and the nationally recognized Camden County Adolescent and Adult Drug Court Programs.

  • Can you tell me about your counselors?

    Genesis makes sure that all counselors meet requirements that are upheld by the State of New Jersey under licensure standards. Mental health counselors have a minimum of a Master's Degree and/or licensed LCSWs or LPCs. Addictions counselors are required at a minimum to be working toward certification and many are already LCADCs, CADCs, LPCs, LCSWs, LACs, LSWs, and interns training in both Mental Health and Substance Abuse.


    Part of the reason for an initial assessment is so that we can obtain the information needed to assign you to the best-suited counselor for your needs. This process takes approximately 48-72 hours from the time of intake. That counselor will contact you to set up your next appointment.


    If you are not happy with your counselor, contact the appropriate program manager.  We have Managers in both Substance Abuse and Mental Health Treatment. Genesis wants to make sure your needs are being met and makes that our priority when assigning or reassigning counselors.
