Comprehensive Counseling Solutions Inc., (CCS) is a support agency to the State of Georgia Department of Human Services (DHS), the Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS); an Authorized and CARF Certified MRO Medicaid Provider; and a partner with the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ).  CCS is authorized to serve all of the 159 counties in Georgia. The agency employs various licensed professionals such as psychologists, psychiatrists, licensed social workers, as well as licensed-eligible Master’s level counselors and social workers. CCS also utilizes Behavioral Intervention Specialists (Bachelor level paraprofessionals), transportation specialists, and other administrative support staff to provide the quality, competent care people deserve.

Headquartered in Northwest Atlanta, Georgia, CCS provides just about every mental health service possible.  In addition to the standard Individual Counseling, Marriage and Family Counseling, and Psychological Assessments, we are also proud to announce we provide the following:  Comprehensive Child and Family Assessment services, (Emergency) Home Evaluations for DFCS, Homestead Counseling, Parent Aide, Early Intervention services, Certified Anger Management Classes, Certified Parenting Classes, Certified Domestic Violence Classes, Certified Substance Abuse Assessments, and Certified Substance Abuse Counseling.

In addition, CCS provides a multitude of in-home services for community-based Juvenile Justice clients and families. Some of these services include in-home counseling, crisis intervention, in-home monitoring, intervention for families, and wraparound services. These services are designed to provide a continuum of alternatives to detention for pre-adjudicated youth and serve as a resource for the Department of Juvenile Justice.

For children in DFCS or DJJ custody, CCS provides intensive, crises-oriented, short-term services to families where children are at risk of imminent out-of-home placement. Our concept of operation is to provide a cluster of family support assessments and intervention services provided to prevent unnecessary placement of children out of the family unit, or to provide for their immediate reunification for care. The fact is, removal from the home is often very necessary. If a child is being physically, emotionally, or nutritionally neglected, or if the child is being physically, emotionally, or psychologically abused, or if a child is causing harm to others, an out-of-home placement may be required to assure family safety.

CCS' mental health services focus on family counseling, individual counseling, in-home intervention, basic living and life skills, substance abuse prevention, anger and stress management, as well as other various behavior intervention services.

Our professionally trained and insured staff is particularly adept in providing these services to families, and has a unique ability to deal with neglect issues such as supervisory, emotional, medical, prenatal/neonatal, and educational neglect. CCS’ behavior intervention and reunification concept incorporates a holistic and family-centered approach involving as many family members as possible, but also utilizing extended family resources and community based services.

Furthermore, CCS has professionally educated and trained staff to effectively address the various concerns and behaviors within a family, while demonstrating sensitivity and respect towards the respective cultural roots that serve as a foundation for effective parenting. This focus empowers the family leadership to be independent and self-sufficient. More importantly, it serves as the cornerstone for rectifying inappropriate parenting practices.

Finally, CCS recognizes that there is a plethora of dysfunctional beliefs and behaviors, as well as a myriad of moral dilemmas that continue to threaten and attack traditional family values and practices. Specifically, issues related to alcohol, illicit drugs, gang violence, and anti-social skills continue to put families at risk. CCS personnel are professionally trained and insured to provide a full range of counseling services that protect governmental organizations from unnecessary liability.
