COURT SERVICES      Many people enjoy watching courtroom dramas as entertainment; however, being a real-life participant in a courtroom (as plaintiff or defendant) is a very different experience.  Having an experienced guide is helpful in achieving your goals in this setting as well.  At Family Crisis Counseling, Dr. Garrison believes that you deserve a "friend in court" and (with 23 years of court experience in the Atlanta area) he has the skills to aid you.      Psychological and emotional upsets can lead to inappropriate behaviors; this can be aggravated by the use of alcohol and drugs.  The Courts have programs known as diversion programs (which divert one into education and/or treatment); such programs may involve a Substance Abuse Evaluation, domestic violence counseling, alcohol and drug treatment, and anger management classes.  As a Court-recognized Expert Witness in Atlanta-area courts, Dr. Garrison is both experienced and qualified to be your "friend in Court" with such diversion programs and in working with your attorney to aid you in your defense.          Not all stress in life is self-inflicted; one can be injured through the actions or negligence of others.  Regardless of the cause of injury, the pain and suffering are real and often require rehabilitation to recover.  In addition to the physical trauma after an injury, there are also psychological and emotional issues involved.  Many people can develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after an injury which can significantly slow the rehabilitation process.  As a member of your rehabilitation team, Dr. Garrison coordinates assessment and individual therapy services with the other health care professionals on your team (such as physicians, chiropractors, and physical therapists).  This ensures both continuity of care and recovery from your injuries as soon as possible.   Dr. Alan Garrison  alan@familycrisiscounseling.com 10927 Crabapple Road,  Roswell, Georgia 30075 (770) 594-2601 For directions, please log onto www.mapquest.com
