Yes, we accept Fulton County families without insurance and will assist them in seeking insurance coverage for their children/family.   

We provide services for ages 4-24 years old.  

All offices provide individual counseling, family counseling, Psychiatric/Nurse services (telehealth also included) and community support individual services. We also offer group therapy/skills services based on the problem/need (e.g. depression, anxiety, life skills, substance use, etc.) at all locations. We provide trauma-informed services using ARC, TF-CBT, play therapy techniques, expressive therapy techniques, CBT, etc.
