Hello and welcome to my profile. Are you dealing with a situation that looks and feels overwhelming right now? When we are close to things, they look bigger, that is true for objects and for situations. It is my job to help you see your issue from another perspective. Most often that simple shift in how we look at things can make you feel better. I am Dr. Chanda Pilgrim and I have been a psychologist for over 25 years working in schools, private agencies, and a community mental health agency. I have worked with individuals and families who are dealing with everything from relationship issues to schizophrenia. I am a holistic counselor which means that when someone tells me they are depressed, not only am I trying to find out the triggers, but I also want to know about diet, exercise, and sleep. I do not see a separation between mind/body/spirit, so we will explore how they affect one another. Most of my clients say I feel like an old friend or family. That connection is important to me because who wants to talk about those private things with someone who doesn’t “get them?” My theoretical orientation is Cognitively based which means that I believe that our thoughts create our feelings. An event that occurs is just an event until we put meaning on it. It is those meanings that create worry, sadness, and even bring about trauma. In our work together, you can expect that we will do some talking about your history. I will assign homework to help you to look deeper into things while we are apart. We will talk about things you can do to support your growth (diet, exercise, etc.) We may even do guided meditations that are aimed at reprograming those automatic unwanted reactions to events in your life. It is my intention that from working with me your life will feel better. Thank you for trusting me!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and Florida with years of experience working as a therapist. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, identify patterns, and develop healthier ways of coping. Whether struggling with emotional dysregulation, anxious attachment, low self-worth, or past trauma, my goal is to help clients build resilience and feel more secure within themselves and their relationships. Clients leave me feeling empowered, understood, with self-awareness. Through a structured yet compassionate approach, I help clients: Develop emotional regulation skills to manage distress and mood swings; understand and reshape relationship patterns to foster healthier connections; strengthen self-worth and boundary-setting to reduce people-pleasing tendencies; learn mindfulness and grounding techniques to reduce anxiety. My counseling style is warm and interactive. By focusing on self-exploration and practical strategies, I guide clients toward greater emotional stability, inner peace, and confidence in their decision-making. My goal is to empower them to feel in control of their emotions, cultivate secure relationships, and break free from patterns that no longer serves. My practice hours are Tuesday and Thursday; 10:00 am - 6 pm; Fridays 10:00 am- 4pm. Please remember that Betterhelp (or sister site!) is not appropriate if you are in crisis or in immediate need of support. In crisis situations, please call 911 or local emergency services. You can also call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to talk to someone right away!” I look forward to working with you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Georgia with over 20 years of experience working with individuals, children, and families. I have worked with clients on a wide range of issues. I started my career working in child welfare where I worked along side parents to help them become the best versions of themselves as individuals and as parents. I am experienced in working with parents and teens and helping each person improve those familial relationships. For over a decade, I have had the honor of working in medical settings with individuals coping with and adjusting to a new chronic and/or terminal disease diagnosis and with their families as they grapple with their new normal. I have facilitated grief support groups for those that have lost a loved one. Processing grief is very important and looks different for everyone. I enjoy partnering with clients in finding their way back to joy and purpose after a loss. I use an integrated approach to therapy and try to meet each client where they are. I utilize evidenced based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), but ultimately work with the individual to construct a treatment plan that serves their needs best. It is a huge step to seek out therapy. I look forward to meeting you and helping you become the healthiest version of yourself. Please note that, at this time, I am only accepting clients that can be seen between the hours of 9:00am and 3pm EST. My afternoon/evening slots are currently full.
