Celebrating our new brand launch!

Thanks to the incredible team at and generosity of Kudzu Brands, we recently unveiled our brand new logo and celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at our Center in partnership with the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce! Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special moment including our Green Ribbon Society members. We’re thrilled to share this milestone with our community!

"All Souls is more than this building. It is the outreach that we have going on. It is the other organizations that we work alongside of. The name itself speaks to how inclusive we are - it is ALL SOULS! All souls should have an opportunity and deserve quality mental health services, and I think that this [new logo] speaks to that." -Heather Johnson, Owner of Kudzu Brands and All Souls Counseling Center Board Chair

WNC Business Summit Features ASCC as Nonprofit Partner

ASCC is deeply appreciative to have been chosen as the Asheville Business Summit (aka WNC Summit) nonprofit community partner for 2024. On Aug. 19 and 20, Mary and Victoria had the opportunity to network with more than 70 entrepreneurs and business leaders at the VIP Dinner, Adam presented a much-appreciated mindfulness moment to help "center and ground" the 300 program attendees between activities, and Victoria hosted an incredibly busy outreach table during the event expo. Congratulations to Beth Lemmel and ActionCoach for lifting such a successful event!

ASCC Donor Appreciation

In August Mary was invited to the Crane Resistoflex manufacturing plant in Marion to receive a $2,400 donation on behalf of the All Souls Counseling team. What makes this donation special is that Crane ChemPharma & Energy associate, Cecil Burrell, feels passionate about our mission and recommended us to receive a gift from the organization's foundation, Crane Charitable Funds. Philanthropy is woven into Crane' legacy, with a long history of giving back to the communities where their associates live and work. We were chosen because of our nonprofit's work to improve the health and lives of others. We are so grateful to Cecil and the Fund for including ASCC among the many worthy causes they are supporting in 2024.
