My name is Justin, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia and a Nationally Board Certified Counselor with the NBCC. I have been working in the helping field since 2013. I have had a wide range of experience in this time working with diverse populations. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, substance use disorder, traumatic stress, relationships, and men’s issues. I provide individual counseling, substance abuse counseling, group counseling, as well as couples/family counseling. I utilize evidence-based practices (Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Reality Theory, Gottman method, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing etc.). Life inevitably presents us with challenges, some larger than others. It is how we tap into our resiliency and take ownership for our lives that determines how effective we feel. Everyone at one point or another experiences feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, confusion, isolation, anger, fear and anxiety. It is not about how we banish these feelings but rather how we learn to cope with them, forgive ourselves and others, and take control of our lives back.

EMDR Therapist Hello! My name is Cheryl and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the helping profession. I am also an ACE Certified Health Coach. The modality of therapy that I use is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is a specialized, structured form of therapy that helps provide relief from trauma and difficult past situations that remain unresolved. EMDR therapy has significant scientific evidence to prove its effectiveness. A good candidate for this therapy is one who commits to weekly sessions, is not actively abusing any drugs or alcohol, and is not experiencing suicidal thoughts or have a history of suicide attempts. (Please note that those who do CAN benefit from EMDR in face-to-face sessions not virtual). I consider myself to be open, honest, and non-judgmental and believe that a sense of humor is an essential component of dealing with life’s challenges (and like to sprinkle a little of this into sessions every now and then!) I’m originally from Upstate New York and have lived in the Southeast the past 19 years. I have a Master’s Degree in Counseling from the State University of New York at Oneonta and have also received advanced training in health coaching, mindfulness, and EMDR I look forward to working with you!

My name is Kyle, I go by my middle name. I am licensed in Georgia with 12 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with, but not limited to, stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, lgbtq+ related issues, & coping with grief and loss. I believe entering therapy is starting an alliance based on trust by the communication of feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. This communication goes both ways, from client to therapist, and therapist to client. The need for such an alliance typically results from some part(s) of life becoming unmanageable or unclear. It is my role as a counselor to help you navigate these concerns, set goals, and to foster more effective coping skills to manage stress. Guarantees in counseling are limited, however I can assure you that I will do everything I can with my training and experience to help you achieve your goals. I graduated from The University of Georgia with bachelor’s degrees in psychology and history in 2004. Then worked for The Marcus Institute, as a Primary Therapist for clients with autism spectrum disorders and other ongoing behavioral health concerns for two and a half years. I moved to New York City, New York in 2007. There I was employed with Partnership of Innovative Comprehensive Care, Inc. as a Case Manager Supervisor, assisting other case managers with caseloads of clients with developmental, intellectual, and mental health disorders. I returned home to South Georgia in 2011 and received a Master of Science in Clinical/Counseling Psychology from Valdosta State University. During this time, I worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant along with interning at Behavioral Health Services of South Georgia. After graduation I worked at Crescent Pines/Anchor Hospital and The DeKalb Community Service Board as an Admission/Intake Counselor from 2012 to 2014. After this I started as an admission Counselor at Ascena Health (St. Jude’s Recovery Center, Inc.) in 2014. In 2015 I accepted a position as a therapist (clinician) providing one on one therapy and case management to individuals in both residential and outpatient treatment. In 2018, I received my Professional Counselor License. After this I continued as a therapist assisting clients with both substance use and mental health disorders in residential and outpatient care. In 2019 I accept a position as the Medication Assisted Treatment coordinator and residential manager supervisor. Within the same year I also started an outpatient program assisting in the reentry of federal offenders on probation. In 2023 I accepted the position of Director of clinical services, overseeing all clinical and residential programs within the agency. Later that year I started my own private practice, where I continue providing professional care and services to individuals with addictive, behavioral, and mental health disorders.
