I was a hairdresser in Atlanta for 20 years listening to client’s problems while working to make their outside beautiful. I often wondered how I could help with their inner self/beauty. Then my daughter started college and she talked me into going with her. I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Mercer University in 1997. A few years later I finished my Masters of Arts in Psychology from Argosy University, and then completed my Ph.D. from Northcentral in 2011. I am an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Atlanta Georgia. I worked in a private hospital for addiction and psych patients for almost 25 years. I also worked in private practice two days a week; 10 of those years. I recently retired. Presently I work on Thursdays at Georgia Recovery Centers with mandated clients. I use CBT, DBT, Client Centered, Mindfulness and Positive Therapy in an eclectic approach to therapy. I am a warm and supportive therapist but will help you tackle your struggles head on with a certain amount of tenacity. Together we will prioritize; establishing goals and the steps it will take to get through your struggles. We will work as a team to help you find a place of inner peace, contentment and accomplishment that you so truly deserve. I am looking forward to our journey together! Jessie Yearta LPC, Ph.D.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of GA and a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I have been advocating and promoting mental health within urban communities for the last 9 years. I have committed my work to help minorities receive culturally competent mental health services. I received my Ph.D. in Counselor Education & Supervision at the Chicago School for Professional Psychology, Master’s in Clinical Counseling from Eastern Illinois University and I received my Bachelors in Psychology from Spelman College. I have worked in clinical mental health settings for 9 years. I have experience with individual/group mental health counseling, crisis intervention, social services, case management, and early intervention. I also have experience in health, mental and administrative education where I provide effective advocacy and service coordination for clients to ensure their physical, social, and emotional needs are met. My areas of clinical specialization are individual counseling, early intervention, and family counseling. My objective as a clinical counselor is to effectively guide my clients to positive life decisions. Counseling can be very therapeutic when counselors are practicing effectively. I seek to build a trusting relationship with my clients and create a judgment-free environment in which my clients can freely discuss their needs, concerns, and overall wellbeing. My theory of counseling focuses on behavioral and cognitive. I believe that behavior is learned through reinforcement and practice. I also believe that an individual’s thoughts are based on experiences. Therefore, my philosophy of counseling tends to be mostly focused on cognitive behavioral therapy. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on clients’ observable behavior and their responses to life. I focus on what my clients can do, not what they can’t do. My philosophy is that as a counselor it is important to focus on the client’s strengths and not the weaknesses. As a counselor, I seek to provide my clients with the best culturally competent care that fits their needs.
