I am a psychologist who is licensed in both the states of Alabama and Georgia and I have had the opportunity to work in the field of psychology for several years. I have worked in the both university settings (as a teacher and counselor) as well as in private practice. I have also had the opportunity to travel and share my knowledge through lectures and workshops. I have the most experience in helping people who struggle with unipolar (but NOT bipolar) depression and anxiety. I also have a considerable amount of experience in working with individuals who have problems with managing stress and managing their emotions. I do not work with issues such as eating disorders, addictions, relationship problems or sexuality concerns. My counseling style is warm, but also straightforward and honest. I consider myself to be a kind person. and I truly desire to help those who are hurting. In my work with people, I do not spend much time processing the past (i.e., childhood experiences, past trauma, etc.). I believe that true healing comes when individuals take active steps in the therapy process and focus on what they can do in their "present" situation to address their challenges. In my work with clients, I focus on helping them understand how their thoughts impact their emotions and their behavior - principles from the field of cognitive behavior therapy. I also look at the impact of lifestyle habits - diet, rest, exercise, etc. - on mental/emotional health. In addition, I sometimes utilize concepts and strategies from the area of positive psychology, which helps people identify and enhance their strengths (as opposed to merely focusing on people's weaknesses "abnormalities," so to speak). Do you need a helping hand? I would love to be that "hand" and help you make those changes. Working with me will take commitment and will require you to not be just a "passive participant," so to speak, in your healing and recovery. If you are willing to do your part, I am here for you and would love to work with you. All it takes is that first step and you can make that step today!

Hi! I am Camille Holcomb, a licensed therapist. I am here to help you reach your goals. Through sessions with me, you will experience unconditional respect while showing concern. I will offer support and a safe space to discuss what you need help with. I will provide a collaborative environment in which we can work together to achieve your goals. It takes courage to reach out and talk with someone you don't know. But I intend to make you comfortable by actively listening, offering encouragement, and providing feedback. I understand that some clients want long term counseling, while others have a need to vent their frustrations or process their thoughts. I am available for either. My approach combines cognitive behavior therapy, person centered therapy, and solution focused therapy. I have experience in depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and more. I look forward to talking with you!

Life is incredibly tough right now. Do you find that you are facing more challenges each and every day? Counseling can help you gain insight, strength, and a new perspective in order to face these challenges head on. So many individuals question themselves and their life path. Are you unsure how to navigate life? Do you experience depression and anxiety? Are you a highly sensitive person, an empath, or both? With counseling, it is possible to see and experience a positive shift, an upward momentum, and changes in a direction that feels better – all in an effort to get you back to yourself. As a licensed professional counselor with 17 years’ experience, my goal is to offer non-judgmental support and provide a safe space in which to discuss difficult topics. I enjoy working with individuals with a variety of issues and challenges. I have experience and knowledge in working with depression, anxiety, post-partum depression, ADHD, grief, low self-esteem, life balance, and intrapersonal relationships. As a team, we will work together using a holistic approach to explore your concerns, help you reach your goals, and put the vision you have for your life and purpose in place. You are not alone on your journey to self-discovery and wholeness.
