Legislative update: The House met yesterday and discussed and passed the Boards and Commissions bill. Because we knew that we were not going to get more representation on the board (one LMHC on the new board), we were pushing for an advisory council. This was added to the language. Thank you to Emily Piper with Piper Consulting for pushing for this and to those who supported that change.

CCS takes the health and safety of our clients, therapists, families, and the general public very seriously. To ensure the continued safety of everyone we are closely monitoring the recommendations from the Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control. At this time we are still in the office providing services.
In order to keep everyone safe, we ask that if you are experiencing a cough, fever, or are generally feeling ill that you do NOT come into the office. Please contact your therapist or call the reception line to reschedule your appointment.
We are working with the insurance companies to try and set up alternatives to in-person therapy, should that become necessary. We are committed to continuing to provide high quality assessment and therapy services to our clients.
Thank you for your understanding. Please stay safe. And wash your hands! 😉

We were worried you were ignoring us, but it seems the phone lines are still down :-( We apologize for the inconvenience but unfortunately the phone company hasn't given us a timeline other than they hope it will be resolved "soon".
Our phones are down:( Windstream is working on it. Hopefully they're back soon!
