I am a licensed professional counselor licensed in Georgia with over 10 years of experience working as a behavior counselor for adults, adolescents, and children. I have worked with clients with a wide range of obstacles such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, family concerns, and grief and loss. Trauma has affected all of us. I am here to guide you through these difficult times.
My counseling style is warm and personable. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused counseling.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

She has been of great support to me. Patient with me and helps guide me through a really awful time of life. I am really grateful for her. Yes feel like I should be a poster child for better help. In fact I told our HR that if someone ever is unsure about this program to reach out to me. And I will assure them of how life changing this is. Not to mention affordable

Clarissa is a wonderful therapist. I feel like I could talk to her about anything that is on my mind and she always responds in a caring, warm and reassuring way. She also helps me recognize my self-worth and appreciate myself.

Even though I only had one session with Clarissa I feel like she has helped me a lot . The session and chats have really opened my eyes and I’ve done a lot of reflecting because of the exercises she sends me.
