About Community Counseling Services

Licensed alcohol and drug counselor James Adams, MS, LADC-I, leads Community Counseling Services, a mental health clinic in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. He’s dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care when you’re navigating life’s most complex challenges.

We offer a comprehensive range of services, including support for anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and suicidal ideation. James specializes in addiction treatment, including alcohol addiction, substance use disorder, sexual addiction, and chronic relapse, with the training to understand the underlying factors that can contribute to relapses or, on the other hand, your long-term recovery.

James goes the extra mile to address your whole-person health, addressing co-occurring concerns through dual diagnosis care while helping you build practical coping skills that foster resilience and support healthier stress and anger management. Our therapeutic approaches include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, and group therapy, all tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs.

Community Counseling Services is an affirming and inclusive space, with dedicated support for LGBTQIA+ individuals, including those exploring gender identity and transgender-related concerns. We recognize the impact of cultural and systemic oppression on mental health and strive to provide care that’s culturally competent and empowering. Our office is handicap accessible and wheelchair accessible to ensure all patients can comfortably receive care.

Whether you’re struggling with loneliness, self-esteem, peer relationships, or seeking tools to manage everyday stress, you’re always welcome in this safe, nonjudgmental environment where healing and growth are possible.
