Are you struggling with upsetting thoughts, feelings, or bodily sensations? Do you criticize yourself for having these experiences and wonder what they mean about you? Do you feel disconnected from who or what matters most to you? Unsure of what to do next? I bet you've tried your best to cope - doing whatever you can to think or feel better. Maybe you distract yourself with responsibilities - or lets be real, your phone. Maybe you opt out of doing things and spending time with people - or just go through the motions. Yet, despite your best efforts, you only get temporary relief. And your life has started to feel smaller and smaller. I can't promise to get rid of your unpleasant thoughts and feelings, but I can help you learn new ways of relating to this upsetting stuff, so that they have less of an impact on you and how you live your life. It's brave of you to consider asking for support AND taking the next step - contacting a stranger - might seem intimidating. Yet if there's a part of you that thinks we might be a good fit, then I encourage you to listen to that part of you and call or message me - whatever feels most doable - so we can schedule a brief, free chat about working together.

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.

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.

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.

Hello prospective clients. My name is Teresa Walker. I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than 10 years of clinical experience. My approach to therapy is strengths-based and client-centered using a solution-focused, cognitive behavioral therapy approach. My focus is depression, anxiety, anger management, family issues, parenting skills training, and grief.

My experience as a therapist has been filled with working in group homes, school settings, office settings, and community settings with children, adolescents, and adults. I understand that overcoming mental health issues is a collaboration and not a one-sided interaction. My extensive work with clients is comprised of managing anxiety disorders, depression disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and numerous other personality and mood disorders. My therapeutic approach includes person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, strength-based therapy, and reality therapy. I believe that everyone’s emotional, mental, and physical health matters. As an eclectic therapist, striking a balance between working with evidence-based theories and individual preferences is supremely important. I believe in the significance of helping others feel inner peace and find purpose in life. I can successfully work with many individuals. The population that I work best with are people that are open to change and challenging themselves. Although I don't usually assign homework, I often try to individualize my approach to the person I'm helping. I believe keeping an open mind and ear are important for both sides of the therapeutic interaction. I maintain that the therapeutic process is helped when those I aid are able to understand that perfection is not the objective, but that aiming toward being a more well-rounded individual is the goal. My communication style is direct and supportive. I believe that motivating, coaching, and educating my clients is essential to helping them progress. Astute, tolerant, observation and genuine listening help me find creative options for those I support. I explain my expectations for communication, attendance, client privileges, and confidentiality in the initial session.

Hi, I'm Susan Spissman. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2014, but knew I wanted to be a counselor since the age of ten. I've helped hundreds of clients thrive in life and business with solution-focused tools, and I am committed to equipping you to do the same. My approach to therapy depends on the client's needs. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, coaching, breath work, mindfulness, neurological techniques, and multiple other evidence-based modalities. I am open to counseling from the Christian perspective, as well as other perspectives. My approach is geared towards high-achieving individuals who are driven to succeed. They often struggle with burnout, worklife balance, high levels of stressanxiety, perfectionism, fear of failure, self-doubt, and performance mentality. This can be further complicated by their Christian upbringing, and not knowing how to reconcile success with spirituality. Clients often tell me that they feel more peaceful when talking with me. I have a calm demeanor and soothing tone. I regard all clients with honor - this is a judgment free zone. I have wanted to help people through counseling since ten years of age. I cannot imagine doing anything else. It is my greatest joy in life to see others thriving, successful, and fulfilled. My approach to goal setting with clients is collaborative. I believe that we can work together to accomplish client desires through open communication. We'll have check-in points along the way to stay on track, and measure progress. During our first session you can expect us to explore what brought you to therapy, and what you want to accomplish during our time together. I'll ask questions to better understand the situation, your feelings, your thoughts, and what you want to be different in your life. I will do my best to help you feel at ease with sharing personal information.
