Carolina Counseling Services in Durham, NC Now Accepts VA Community Care Network Referrals

Expanded Access to Veteran Mental Health Services 

Carolina Counseling Services in Durham, NC is pleased to share that we are now an in-network provider with the VA Community Care Network (VA CCN). This partnership allows eligible veterans in the Durham area to access professional counseling and psychiatric medication management using their VA Community Care benefits.

We deeply value the opportunity to support veterans and their families. Military service can come with complex and lasting challenges, and access to timely, high-quality mental health care is essential. Our contracted licensed therapists and psychiatric providers are committed to delivering compassionate, effective care tailored to each individual.

Understanding the VA Community Care Network (VA CCN)

The VA Community Care Network (VA CCN) is a program that connects eligible veterans with approved healthcare providers in their local community. This option is typically available when:

  • VA services are not immediately accessible
  • Wait times are longer than recommended
  • Specialized care is needed
  • Community-based treatment is in the veteran’s best interest

As a VA CCN provider in Durham, CCS can now serve veterans who receive referrals through this program, helping you to access care closer to home.
