Mental Health Practice – Compassion House
Compassion House is a 501(c)(3) non-profit mental health organization located at 1323 W. Walnut Avenue, Suite 2 #299, in Dalton, Georgia 30720. The organization’s stated mission centers on restoring stable, loving relationships between struggling parents and children at risk of state custody separation, and on improving reunification efforts for families already involved in the foster care system. The organization’s tagline is “Heal the Root, Change the Fruit.”
Compassion House provides counseling and therapy for teens and adults addressing trauma, grief, and abuse, delivered by licensed therapists. Additional services include mentoring and life skills development, case management, visitation coordination, and crisis intervention. Support groups are offered for families navigating similar high-stress circumstances.
The Family Stabilization Program is a central component of the organization’s work, encompassing housing support, financial assistance, mental health and trauma counseling, parenting and life skills training, transportation, advocacy, and long-term support for families in crisis. Further programming includes supervised visitation services, a grief and loss recovery program (RTL), teen recovery services, parenting classes, a healthy relationships and marriage enrichment program, job and life skills training, placement prevention services, and post-reunification support. The breadth of programming reflects a whole-family stabilization model rather than a narrower clinical focus.
Compassion House serves teens, adults, parents, and families facing high-stress situations including risk of child removal, active foster care involvement, and family reunification challenges. Services are structured to address both mental health and practical stabilization needs concurrently. The organization has received grant support from the Community Foundation of Northwest Georgia, Inc.
Specific clinician names, individual licenses, and insurance information are not listed on the organization’s website.

The Dalton, Georgia address places the organization within a region where family preservation and foster care services are delivered through a mix of public and community non-profit providers.
