Therapists in Milan, GA

You are AMAZING and today through your search for clarity and hope through counseling starts your new journey. I have been providing counseling services for 13 years and enjoy working as a counselor helping improve others. I look forward to working with individuals & couples that are interested in working collaboratively together creating positive changes and enhancing their everyday lives. We may not be able to change the difficult situations of the past but we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges. Using complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I offer a non-judgmental relaxed beautiful environment where clients needs are the number one priority. As a fully licensed experienced counselor I provide services for, individuals, families, couples, and children to help resolve any life stressors that have impacted their quality of life. You don't have to be alone I am here to help! I am hear to help and support you whether your dealing with relationship difficulties, parenting, grieving a loss, navigating a job or career transition, finding ones true purpose, or dealing with depression, identity issues, weight gain/loss, anxiety or any other mental health stressors. My job is not to change my clients but to help them become their version of their best self.

Throughout my life, I have recognized possibilities in all kinds of situations. My extensive career has focused on helping people realize their own possibilities, through counseling, coaching and training. You are likely seeking counseling at this time because you are having difficulty recognizing and realizing possible solutions to an issue in your life, and I would like to help. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Georgia, with over thirty years of experience in providing counseling and consultation with people in all walks of life to manage stress, anxiety and depression, grief and aging concerns, parenting issues, and personal coaching. For over ten years, I provided counseling and support services for medical students, doctors, and other high-stress healthcare professionals. I warmly welcome people of different ages, races, cultures, spiritual beliefs, sexual orientation, and gender identity. I believe that you have the capacity to create your own solutions when given the tools, training, and support to do so. To that end, we may choose to incorporate such creative avenues as art, writing, music, humor, and reading, to assist you in finding your answers. My person-centered, solution focused approach to counseling means that we work and celebrate together as you find the solutions that work best for you.

I believe that each client has unique concerns and issues that should be focused upon one at a time. However, some conditions have to be treated concurrently, such as times when comorbid (underlying and preexisting) conditions exist, for example: PTSD and anxiety and depression, or substance abuse and other mental health disorders. During this time of pandemic, social unrest, and beyond; my role is to help you explore your concerns/issues and build new realities based upon your strengths. I view counseling as a collaborative process whereby the achievement of mutually defined counseling goals is accomplished through commitment and patience. Counseling can help you gain personal insight and lead you to a better understanding of yourself and others. I use a variety of theoretical approaches individualized for you and your life situation. Diagnostic and testing information will be used to help guide my work with you. Your active involvement in and out of our sessions together is essential to gain maximum benefit from your counseling sessions. I may ask you to do homework assignments, exercises or journals. Periodically, we will evaluate our progress and, if necessary, redesign our treatment plan. Remember we are in this together. My commitment is to walk alongside you. As with any intervention, there are both benefits and risks associated with counseling that may include experiencing uncomfortable levels of feelings like sadness, guilt, anger or frustration. Often progress is a gradual process. The goal is to achieve the best and most promising outcome for you.

Upon acceptance at Regent University School of Psychology & Counseling Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program (CACREP). I earned a Master of Art (MA) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Certificate of Graduate Studies (CGS) in Trauma.. I am a member of Chi Sigma Iota Alpha Omega Lambda, Counseling Academic and Professional Honor Society International. I hold board certification credentials through the National Board of Certified Counselors as a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CCMHC). I have completed the CADC-II credential. I am pursuing (3rd year) a PhD in Clinical Psychology to better serve clients with psychological testing. Additionally, I am pursuing the MAT (medication-assisted treatment/medically assisted therapy), and Clinical Supervisor credentials CPCS & ACS (Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor & Approved Clinical Supervisor Courses Complete; Licensures in progress, applications in progress). Area of competence consist of assessment, diagnosis and treatment of mental and emotional disorders and trauma; utilizing treatment approaches such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and Acceptance-Based Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Person Centered, Reality and related Choice therapies, Motivational Interviewing techniques, mental health services consultation and training; and individual and group counseling. Most recently, I have had the awesome privilege of working as Lead Clinician at a residential facility walking alongside women, women with children, and men experiencing homelessness. We utilize a transformational model of change centered in both Person-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapeutic approaches. Realizing that one approach is not appropriate for all we integrate other modalities in treatment with amazing outcomes. I must say that it has been a world-class experience, and one of the most challenging yet rewarding times of my vocation thus far.
