Community Counseling Services (CCS) provides outpatient mental health treatment to Northampton County and the surrounding areas.
Who We Are
CCS provides individual, family and group outpatient counseling and psychiatric services. The mission of CCS is to ensure that clients have the necessary social, emotional, psychological, educational and spiritual support to achieve their greatest potential. CCS’s therapeutic staff utilizes a holistic, strengths based approach which promotes independent functioning and self-reliance. The use of evidence based techniques empowers clients to identify personal strengths, access community resources and cope more effectively with daily challenges.
All therapists hold advanced degrees in psychology, social work or counseling. CCS is passionate about nurturing the resiliency of the human spirit; we believe that the therapeutic relationship inspires personal growth and change. Services are provided without regard to race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other form of discrimination. Established in 1992 as a program of MSHN, CCS operates offices in Bangor and Easton. Licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS), Community Counseling Services is a private, nonprofit and nonsectarian organization.

When Should I Seek Help?
Everyone experiences occasional periods of low mood and distress. However, if you find that those feelings are negatively impacting relationships, school or work performance, ability to perform daily tasks, or general sense of well-being, it may be time to consider therapy.
What About Medications?
While psychiatric medications cannot solve the situations that lead to mood instability, sometimes neurochemical factors exist that impede the ability to make progress through therapy alone. The addition of medications can lead to an enhanced therapeutic experience and more effective management of symptoms. Your therapist will help you decide if this option would be beneficial to you.
