Hi there! My name is Chelsea, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in both the states of Georgia and Connecticut. Ever since I was a little girl I can remember always wanting to help others. I was fortunate enough to grow up in a loving home with two caring and supportive parents that always encouraged me no matter what. I have always been so thankful for this, and have a passion for giving others the same support and encouragement that I was able to have throughout my life. I got into this field because I wanted to give back! While pursuing my Bachelors degree in Psychology, my love for Marriage and Family therapy was formed after learning more about individuals, couples, and family systems. I went on to pursue a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and through my trainings there, I found that this field not only focused on helping individuals, but also focused a lot on an individuals background, the many systems that they are apart of, and the way that these systems can help shape them into the person they are today. I strongly believe that effective therapy includes understanding the world that the individuals you work with are apart of! My earliest experiences in the field consist of working in group home environments with troubled youth and adolescents ages 14-22 presenting with diagnoses like depression, anxiety, A.D.H.D., and also showed some early signs of certain personality disorders like bipolar and borderline, PTSD. I have also worked with youth that have experienced past sexual abuse and physical abuse/neglect by their caregivers. I additionally have 3 years of in home therapy experience working with both youth and families in crisis. I have had opportunity to work with adults ages 18+ in an outpatient setting, as well as in the communities, and in their homes. The adult population that I served presented with issues like anxiety, depression, substance abuse, homelessness, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. My counseling style can be described as warm, interactive, and innovative. My favorite part about the work that I do is being able to watch the individuals that I serve make positive changes right before my eyes! I am a huge encourager, motivator, and especially passionate about supporting individuals through life stage transitions. I am friendly, open, and provide a non-judgmental space. I believe my strongest qualities are patience, empathy, and understanding. I also believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines techniques from models like Strategic, Structural, and Solution Focused therapy, however I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling, happier lifestyle and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to hearing from you soon! -Chelsea

Hello! My name is Audrey Burke-Wardlaw. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience. I have provided counseling support to a diverse population to include youth, individuals, groups and couples. With counseling experience that spans almost 3 decades, I have been able to help clients cope with an ever changing world. Areas that I have provided counseling support includes depression, anger, grief, trauma, anxiety, phobias, and self concept and self esteem. I have worked in the mental health clinical arena, outpatient community arena, hospital in-patient arena, and in the home. I utilize a myriad of techniques and approaches in the support of clients. The technique and/or approach that I use is driven by the needs of the individual. I do not use the "cookie cutter" approach to counseling with my clients because every person is different and what might work for one, will not work for another. I stay current with new and innovative counseling approaches to better serve my client. I utilize the life span approach that enables me to provide services for all age groups. I utilize a multi-cultural approach to providing counseling in order to meet needs of a diverse population. My counseling style includes trust, respect, and unconditional positive regard for every client no matter what their issue might be. I practice confidentiality and privacy to maintain an effective therapeutic relationship. I do not make assumptions when providing counseling but rather I depend on the client to express their issues from their point of view without judgement. The client is the expert when it comes to their life and each client is unique. I meet clients where they are with empathy and commitment. I look forward to working with you and remember, I am here for you!
