Hello. My name is Susan Sturdivant Miles. I am an LPC who has been in this field for over 10 years. My therapy approach focuses on building the mind and body as one, bringing each piece together so that there is understanding in order to find healing.

I’m married 18 years, a mother to a 15 year old son and I've empathic, energetic and loves helping clients. Are you looking to reduce stress, feel calm, and enjoy your life again? Are you struggling with work, family, school, friendships, or self-esteem? I've worked with clients from all walks of life and assist clients develop emotional awareness, depression and anxiety management by teaching them alternative coping skills, communication and problem-solving skills so they can began to feel more in control of their emotions, feelings and behavior. I approach therapy by listening to to understand my client's needs, wants & their concerns we then work to find solutions. I meet the client where they are, work at their pace to allow time to process feelings & gain insight into their lives & relationships. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & tools from IFS, EMDR, DBT & MI to help teach clients skills to alleviate stress, manage emotions, improve self confidence and find ways to feel stable. I provide homework to those who desire tools to work on between visits and help clients learn to understand, reframe negative self-talk, reduce excessive worry and improve your mood. Clients seek me out for support to cope w anxiety, panic attacks, depression, trauma, stress & conflict management. Contact me if you need support because you're feeling overwhelmed & unsure how to cope or where to start on the journey to healing. Higher levels of stress & unhappiness can be temporary, with understanding & change. I'll provide a safe space & time specifically for you to share, explore & gain insight based on your goals. My approach to building a therapeutic, mutually respectful relationship involves empathy, compassion, humor, and normalize client feelings. I work to help clients know they are not alone and to tap into skills and strengths they've used in the past to manage life's challenges. I grew up in a rural community in Southeast Georgia. I felt awkward and sometimes alone because of social anxiety. After going away to college, all of those insecurities followed me, right into my first professional career opportunity. After I started therapy, I realized, that was the BEST DECISION I EVER MADE FOR MYSELF! If I could have told my younger self, its okay to feel different just keeping loving love yourself. Therapy was not what I expected; I found helped, support, unconditional understanding and was able build my confidence and develop tools to cope with life's challenges. I became a therapist to help others understand themselves and develop skills and tools to cope, find insight and self acceptance and know they are not alone. I work with clients to identify goals based on their treatment needs and personal goals. I take a collaborative approach and develop goals which are realistic and helps develop skills to reach goals. Lastly, my approach is to encourage individuals to develop small, consistent changes in thinking, feeling, and behaving to help recognize their progress and gain hope that change is possible. During the first session, we will meet for 60 minutes. Clients are allowed time to share openly and release the pressures of keeping things bottled up inside. I'll ask specific questions to help me gain insight about their treatment needs. The first visit is to work on building rapport and information gathering so that I know how I can best help meet your needs to develop goals.

I am a true Georgia peach, born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. I have the training and experience but during sessions, you will never feel as if you are being judged or analyzed. I believe we are all human and we can't ignore that the main key to being human is empathy. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Resource Management from Troy University and Master of Science in Marriage Family Counseling Therapy from Capella University. I incorporate solution-focused, person-centered, and CBT approaches when working with clients, providing a holistic perspective of mind, body, and spirit. My ideal client is one who is open and willing to answer those tough, honest, and thought-provoking questions in order to foster personal growth. My communication style is candid and genuine. I pride myself on authenticity. I was finishing my program in Human Resources and took a few psychology courses. It was while taking those courses that I learned how much I loved the field. So it was at that point I decided to pursue a career in counseling therapy. I chose marriage family counseling therapy because the training focuses more on the system (environment, work, family, etc) rather than only on the individual or the individual being the problem. This is why I approach what is going on by looking at all factors of life that could be playing a role in decreasing your quality of life. My goal for clients is to be able to find peace of mind no matter the circumstances. That comes with a lot of mindfulness and acceptance. During our first session, I will share a little history about myself then we will discuss your history along with collaborating on goals you hope to reach through therapy.

My name is Robert(Bob)Willis. I am a licensed LPC. My approach to therapy is client-centered with an emphasis on Biblical teaching. It is my belief that everything a therapist needs to counsel as well as the needs of the client is found in Scripture both Old and New Testaments. After 40+ years in Pastoral Ministry, I am convinced the Bible has the answers to all of man's dilemmas. I approach therapy from an eclectic or variety of approaches but mainly form Cognitive Behavior Therapy along with Delectable Behavioral Therapy. The clients I feel the most comfortable working with are those struggling with anxiety and depression. I also am comfortable working with those with marriage challenges and premarital sessions to prepare the couple with tools to help function as God has designed marriage to work. My style of communication is conversational and when needed confrontational with a gentle touch. Also, I use probing questions to get my client to open up and talk rather than just give short one-word answers. This will help me get to the root of the issues much easier and quicker. Being a Pastor for over 40 years has led me to pursue counseling as a joint and second career. I love People and want the best for my clients. It is my desire for my clients to learn to understand themselves. My goal is to help them mature and grow as a person or couple. I get joy from watching my client grow and learn how to effectively live their lives in a satisfying way. Goal setting is done between the therapist and the client. Goals are specific, measurable, and attainable. The first session is a get-to-know-you session as well as the client getting to know the therapist. It will include questions about one's past. Conversations about what the client understands about themselves and what they expect from the therapist. We will also discuss what the client expects to gain from the counseling experience.

I thrive on enabling people with both medical and behavioral challenges to work toward a better quality of life by reducing anxiety, depression, and stress. I welcome those who prefer a Christian perspective to treatment." I love to develop a great rapport by listening to your burdens and expressing compassion. I also feel it's important to help you move beyond your struggles by providing workable solutions you can implement in your life.
