Waycross, Georgia is not only considered the state’s natural wonder, but it is also the only incorporated city in the entire county. This is similar to most people’s mental health. Even though we may be a gem, it can also feel like we’re quite alone in dealing with how our brains work.
Mental health therapists can help you learn to harness your natural wonder and become the person you’ve always wanted to be. Reaching out can sometimes feel like a difficult and lonely journey, but you’re never alone. Let go of trying to be strong and learn to be vulnerable today.

Dr. Michael Becerra
I am a counselor licensed in Georgia, Louisiana, and New Jersey with more than ten years of experience working in the community, school districts, college campuses and vocational rehabilitation agencies. I have worked with clients regarding disability, stress and anxiety, immigration, mens issues, career and life transitions, relationships, motivation and confidence issues. I also spent six years living in Colombia working with intercultural heterosexual and gay couples, as well as US expats and volunteers orientating to life abroad. My counseling style is laid back and interactive. My humanistic theoretical framework for therapy is shaped by Adlerian psychology, which is one of growth and social interest. I also work with solution-focused and developmental approaches to meet your individual needs. Alfred Adler believed that mentally healthy people strive to master their basic life tasks that represent the challenges of work, friendship, love/intimacy. Your motivation to seek therapy demonstrates it. Count on my support and empowerment when you are ready to take that step. I look forward to working with you!
