Ginger Burns
Hello, I am grateful you stopped by! Are you facing an acute stressor (short-term or sudden onset), seeking prevention of health-related concerns, brushing up on a relapse or maintenance plan, or just trying to figure out the next steps in your journey? I believe, working together, you can achieve the results you are seeking. Having people share their challenges with me, often during extremely vulnerable times in their life, is very humbling. You will be greeted with respect and acceptance in a safe and nonjudgmental space. I must warn you that I enjoy a good dose of humor as often as possible, though it will be reserved for appropriate times. I am a clinical social worker licensed in the states of Georgia and Florida. I have served in helping professions for more than a decade as a Secondary Teacher and Mental Health Therapist. I graduated from Kennesaw State University with a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education specializing in science and a Master of Social Work specializing in mental health. For the last 5 years I have been providing behavioral health services to CONUS and OCONUS Active-Duty Military members, their dependents and Retirees. During a typical week I provide counseling services for Depression, Anxiety, Adjustment Disorder, Increased Stress Reactions, Insomnia, Suicidality, PTSD, Life Goals, ADHD, Chronic Illnesses, Chronic Pain, Relationship issues, Grief, Compassion Fatigue, Addictions, Anger and more. My treatment approach is Client-Centered. You are unique and so are your circumstances therefore, placing your expectations and goals in the center of treatment is the way to go. We will utilize your strengths to create and master measurable goals that are the stepping-stones to your desired outcome. You will likely uncover strengths you had forgotten about or simply have not tapped into! Therapy should always have a desired outcome, measurable goals and be guided by evidenced-based therapies. Some people are looking for long-term psychotherapy and others are looking for short-term Solution-Focused treatment with quickly achievable goals or elimination of symptoms. During our time together we will explore which evidenced-based methods you prefer. Since 2013, I have concentrated on providing mental health services to adults though I sometimes work with teenagers and children. I have been privileged to work and serve with a myriad of leading professionals spanning across multiple disciplines in the Medical and Mental Health fields as well as CONUS and OCONUS Military Installations. These experiences have challenged me and led me to acquiring expertise in many areas to better serve my clients. I look forward to assisting you on this journey to a healthier and happier you!

My approach to therapy is always “Client-Centered” which means that I meet you where you are and assist you in identifying your stuck points and your goals that YOU want to accomplish with therapy.

As your therapist, my role is simple and yet complex – to hold up a mirror and allow you to identify both your needs and wants and assist you in developing the best course of action for you to take with the least amount of resistance.

Adrianne Beach
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.
