The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Renee Atwood has worked with clients who have experienced depression, both childhood and adult trauma, codependency issues, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress (PTSD). Renee has also worked with individuals suffering from grief, divorce, and issues about aging. Reaching out for counseling can be frightening, but she wants every client to feel heard, safe, and secure.
I work with each client as a team effort. Each client I see has their own story and unique perspective on that story, and I believe that within that story are the seeds to healing. My approach to helping my clients is in seeing each of my clients as a whole person who is struggling with something, whether it is anxiety, depression, relationships issues, substance abuse, communication, parenting, trauma, etc. Most often it is how we perceive a situation or a struggle that defines how we deal with it or respond to it. I hope that I can help you with whatever your struggle may be, and to help you rewrite your story. My favorite book of all time is Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning. One of the many wonderful things he says in that book is "When we are no longer able to change a situation we are challenged to change ourselves."
My name is Chrishina J. Scott. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia, with over 15 years of experience in the field of clinical mental health. My scope of practice focuses on helping adults who are finding challenges with overcoming specific life changes/adjustments (i.e., break-up/divorce, empty nester, work-related stress, retirement, grief (� 1 year), young adults transitioning into independent decision-making, etc.). As a result, the individual may be experiencing stress-related or situational anxiety and/or possibly a bit of a low mood (without the need for crisis intervention, or the inclusion of suicidal thoughts or self-harming behaviors).
I'm both a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who enjoys helping people of all ages and stages, including teens, adults, couples, and families. The goal of my therapy is to build trust and a working alliance so together we can process unresolved issues and replace present behaviors, emotions, and thoughts causing distress with more effective coping strategies and ways of being that empower you to live the life you've always wanted. My therapy styles include both cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), while being solution-focused and client-centered. I make sure you're heard and understood.
Hi, my name is Jodi Spires. For 25 years, I have worked as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with people learning to deal with depression, anxiety, trauma, and family issues. My approach to counseling is more eclectic than any particular approach. For the most part, I think people already possess the answers they seek; talking with a counselor can provide clarity and expose potential blind spots.

My name is Tori, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I approach therapy from an integrative perspective with an emphasis on Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Processing Theory, Narrative Therapy, Expressive Arts and Mindfulness Techniques, and some Feminist Theories as well. I have a Holistic and collaborative approach to therapy. I believe that you are the expert of your own experience, and my job is never to tell you what to do but instead to support you along your healing journey, process what comes up on the path to healing, and empower you in your continued growth. I have a Holistic and collaborative approach to therapy. I believe that you are the expert of your own experience, and my job is never to tell you what to do but instead to support you along your healing journey, process what comes up on the path to healing, and empower you in your continued growth. I prefer to work with adults. I have experience with depression, anxiety, BIPOC, relationship issues, self-care, body positivity, LGBTQ+ affirming care, trauma, self-esteem, processing the impacts of systemic oppression and capitalism, grief, and much more. To me, it is essential to create a safe, judgment-free, supportive, empathetic, inclusive, warm, and empowering environment for my clients. The best analogy I can use to describe what it feels like working with me therapeutically is: Imagine we are in a car. You are driving, and I am in the passenger seat. Along the path, you decide where we go and which turns we make. I may make an observation or shed some light on a caution sign you might have missed previously, but no matter what turns you take, I am right there with you supporting you on this journey. We may encounter some rough terrain, but you will not have to manage it alone." I always knew I wanted to be in the helping field. My mission in life has always been to positively impact the lives of others. When it came time to decide on a career path, this made the most sense for me because my whole life, I naturally found myself in the role of providing emotional support for friends, family, and even strangers. We set expectations and goals for therapy in the first two sessions. As we continue and adjust over time, we will revisit the goals as needed along the way to make any necessary changes. The first session is much more structured than most of our sessions will be because we will be reviewing informed consent, completing intake information, creating goals for therapy, and discussing your previous experiences in therapy so I can have a clear understanding of what you valued from that experience and what didn't work for you.
Vickie J Hagan, MA, LPC. I believe that everyone can reach an optimum state of health. Therapeutic interpersonal relationships are the primary component of all healthcare interactions that facilitate the development of positive clinician-patient experiences.
As a therapist, I believe that my job is to assist my clients with unlocking the solution to their problems and concerns. I believe that we each hold the key to our own happiness and to solving our own problems. However, we at times need someone to help us find the key to unlocking this potential from within, and this is where I come in. I use a myriad of counseling techniques to help guide you in your search to developing a better understanding of what you need to achieve your own definition of happiness. We will work together as a team to help you explore, identify, and express your thoughts. I will also assist you in managing perceptions, feelings, and emotions that will lead you to achieve happiness and peace of mind.
