My name is Tonya Klemmer, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Georgia. I earned my Master of Social Work degree, from Marywood University in 2003. I've worked in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, trauma/abuse, adolescent sexual behavior problems, relationships/parenting and more. Over the past 16 years as a clinician, my experience has taught me that the most important aspect of counseling by far is the relationship and comfort you feel with the person you choose to share your struggles with. I believe we can all grow through challenging experiences by increasing our self-awareness and recognizing our potential. It would be my privilege to work with you and help you see your true worth. We all want to be able to share our personal truths and be accepted and understood. I believe it's very important to be open-minded and non-judgmental when someone shares their personal story or experiences with me. You are welcome to message me anytime through Better Help. The frequency with which you can have access to a counselor to work through day to day emotions and problem solving is extremely beneficial for most and a nice change from traditional outpatient counseling. I usually check messages twice each day, six days per week. I offer messaging, video and phone sessions with availability after 5pm Monday- Friday and anytime on Saturdays. Please note that what you see in my calendar may not reflect my only availability so you always want to check that out with me through messaging first. I look forward to working with you!

Greetings! Did you know that you wear a crown? While it may not be visible to the eye, this crown is filled with all of the jewels (your strengths, uniqueness and talents) that make you the amazing human being that you are. As your therapist, it is my goal to help you see your royalty by helping you navigate life's challenges by helping you to see the beauty within you. I am Chalice Nelson, a National Board Certified Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia. After partaking in my first internship in college at a group home, my desire for the mental health field grew and I graduated from Florida A&M University in 2010 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. Shortly thereafter, I attended St. John Fisher College where I obtained a Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2013. I have been granted the opportunity to work in a variety of settings, including residential, hospital (Crisis Intervention Unit), outpatient substance use treatment and community based treatment just to name a few. For the past 3 years, I have worked on the administrative side, in which I have gained more knowledge regarding policy and implementation. As a therapist, I believe that we are all deserving of healing from experiences and are capable of doing so by becoming more attuned to the wonderful skills we possess. I have helped clients on their journey of healing from issues dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem and more. I utilize an eclectic therapeutic approach, using a variety of strength-based treatment modalities including Solution-Focused Therapy, Positive Psychology, Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Through such techniques, I serve to support, educate, empower and provide a safe place for clients to express themselves without judgement and foster confidence to make decisions that work best for each of them individually. I reside in Atlanta, GA, where I am the owner of The Conscious Queen, in which I offer psycho-educational workshops in which I combine creative and mental wellness activities to help people incorporate healthy self-care practices into their daily lives. I serve on a community board to help find ways to bridge the gap in regard to access to mental health treatment as well. I look forward to being by your side on your healing journey and I thank you for taking the first step on a path you are destined for! Be Well, Chalice

LGBTQIA friendly. My practice is centered around human issues. Positive relationships are challenging to build. Whether its parent/child, husband/wife, wife/wife, husband/husband or any other combination. My goal is to increase communication, understanding and knowledge between people in order to create positive and productive growth. We will focus on barriers and obstacles that may be keeping us from living our best lives, and work together on mapping out a plan for success. I have currently added substance abuse and anger management assessments to my practice. As our society becomes more accepting of alternative relationships, the need for added support has increased. I offer that space where individuals can feel comfortable in knowing they are accepted. I am a fully licensed counselor focusing on sexual issues. This ranges from communication to sexual dysfunction and a variety of topics in between. I have recently completed my ASSECT certification and am now a certified sex therapist. Giving a voice to individuals who may be afraid to be heard is empowering and fulfilling. No one should be afraid to be happy and for me, it is my passion to be uplifting to all. My practice is based on the West side of Atlanta, but I have various satellite options around the city.

You found my page, so you must be looking for someone to help you navigate the stormy seas of life. Perhaps you have experienced trauma or an event in your life you just can't seem to 'get over.' Perhaps you feel ashamed, depressed, anxious, disconnected, or stuck. My passion is to help people just like you - people who want to move forward in their journey toward hope and healing. You have courageously taken the first step, and I would be honored to walk along side you as you progress in your journey. I want to help you learn to connect with others and yourself in a way that moves you forward and motivates you to create the life you envision, and begin to heal the things in your life that have led to feeling disconnected. This can take a variety of strategies and techniques, but they all start with a foundation of feeling heard and understood. The counseling relationship is the basis by which you begin to experience greater connection with others and yourself. For some, a specific technique or "theory" is important; however, for most, it is knowing that the person with whom you work cares and is able to make that connection with you. I have my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia. I have experience working with a vast number of mental health concerns and diagnoses, but I am passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves, others, and resolve any trauma (or events, attitudes, behaviors, or beliefs) that may hinder someone from true authenticity and the ability to connect.
