Therapists in Ackerman, MS

I am a mental health counselor licensed in Mississippi with over 6 years of experience working as a crisis therapist for both youth and their families. I have worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, family conflict, ADHD, ODD, DMDD, PTSD in youth, and parenting skills. I have worked with survivors of abuse and their families. My counseling style is interactive, conversational, and opening. I am continually seeking continuing education in order to become trained in new therapies to bring these new skills to the people I serve. I believe in respect, compassion, and empathy and I do not believe in labels or stereotypes. My approach to therapy combines cognitive-behavioral, person centered, and motivational interviewing. I believe in an individualized approach to treatment, and I will make sure every treatment plan is individualized to meet your own specific needs. It is often difficult to take the first steps towards creating change in your life. If you are ready to take the first step by reaching out, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey forward in life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of direct mental health therapy experience working with a range of populations and ages. I see clients with a variety of issues, including anxiety, post-traumatic stress, phobias, depression, low self-esteem, codependency, parenting problems, relationship challenges, work problems, and communication issues. I especially love working to resolve the effects of trauma on clients' lives. Traumatic memories can include big, life-threatening things like natural disasters and active shooters, but it can also be small things that stick in the memory banks, like the teacher who made an insensitive comment in front of the whole class. Those memories can get stuck and affect us later until they are fully processed and resolved. People's experiences are what make them who they are, and I love to hear about them. In the counseling setting, I work to get to know what makes each person unique. As clients identify their strengths, we work to build on those to help overcome mental health issues. It is exciting when clients experience moments of insight during or between sessions. I work to keep us focused on the goals that we agree on at the beginning of counseling. The methods I use include client-centered, EMDR, parts work, solution-focused, and somatic, with an ecological approach. My Christian faith is important to me and my outlook on life. If a client wants that perspective included in therapy, I will include it. If not, I keep it to myself. The therapy session is always about mutual respect flowing between therapist and client. If you are interested in beginning a fascinating journey of self discovery leading to better mental and emotional health, I would love to hear from you. I look forward to working with you!
