NEW ORLEANS - CuisineWire -- After nearly eight years serving individuals and families in Georgia, SOC Integrated Services, LLC is expanding into Louisiana, bringing mental and behavioral health services to individuals and families in the New Orleans area.

Founded in 2018, SOC Integrated Services provides counseling, behavioral health support, clinical services and telehealth care with a focus on making quality mental health support more accessible.

SOC will initially serve Louisiana residents through virtual services while developing its clinical team, community partnerships and broader presence in the New Orleans area.

"We know there are people who have carried a lot for a long time and may not always feel like counseling is accessible to them," said Adrian Verwayne, Director of SOC Integrated Services. "SOC stands for Saving Our Community, and that's more than a name to us. Our goal in Louisiana is to build trust, remove barriers and make it easier for individuals and families to get support when they need it."
