Let's work together to reach your full potential! Are you ready to unlock your potential and overcome life's challenges? I'm Tammy Prickett, a licensed professional counselor in Georgia, here to support you on your journey.

As a compassionate and dedicated therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate life's challenges through a combination of Gestalt Therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With a deep understanding of how past experiences shape our present behavior, I aim to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in the here and now.

In the past number of years, I have witnessed many individuals, children, couples and families work successfully through a variety of life's challenges in my office. I help collaborate with those I work with to give them each the tools to move away from their "stuckness" and towards their goals in life. I aim to provide a safe and comfortable environment where you can feel that your voice is being heard and your therapeutic needs are being met. I often joke with new clients that my goal is to have them "fire me as soon as possible so you can go on with your life as you truly want it to be!" I will work with you to identify your goals, strengths and resources while guiding you through whatever is holding you back from where you want to be in life as an individual, couple or family. I take great pride in the respect I give each person I meet and deeply enjoy the word I do in session each day.

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 am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Specialization in Christian Sex Therapy. I was a counselor at a behavioral health hospital for seven years and a caseworker for Child Protective Services prior to receiving my professional license.

Being a counselor allows me the privilege of walking with someone in the midst of their struggles all the way to healing.

I welcome working with clients battling anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger management, and sexual-related issues such as abuseassaultdysfunctionaddiction who are looking to make positive changes both emotionally and behaviorally. Maintain eye contact, calm atmosphere, good listening, reassuring tone. I have a natural compassion for people who are suffering and a desire to help them improve their lives. Successful care and progress are comprised of steady improvements in mood, completion of steps and goals, and increased self-awareness.

Hello, My name is Kay Butler and I am a Georgia-licensed clinical social worker. I have provided care in private practice and in-patient and out-patient hospital and clinic settings. I have experience in group facilitation for sheltered women and those with medical diagnoses. I am particularly interested in the development of self-empowerment.

Hi! I am Dr. Malissa Collins, a licensed professional counselor(LPC) in Georgia specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. My approach is warm and compassionate. My focus is to meet clients where they are and teach them ways to successfully navigate through life to meet goals. I have experience working with individuals from various backgrounds, families, and couples. My Ph.D. is in Marriage and Family Therapy. My clients appreciate my warmth, nonjudgmental style. It helps to make them feel relaxed and confident. I knew in high school that I wanted a career in the psychology industry because my friends told me I had a natural “knack” for listening and helping. They would say, “You’re easy to talk to”…my drive comes from living my purpose. I find value in helping others reach happiness. Because I primarily use CBT strategies to help clients reach therapy goals, the focus begins with cognitive restructuring…awareness of potential faulty core beliefs about self and the world. My first sessions include getting to know you as a partner in this therapeutic relationship. This means I will ask questions to learn as much about you as possible. The goal is to build trust in each other.

My specialty is helping female survivors of trauma reverse the symptoms of rejection, guilt, and shame through talk therapy and healthy coping techniques. I provide a holistic, integrative approach to assist clients with developing autonomy and learning to have power over their own decisions and life choices. Clients are encouraged to identify, process, and learn healthy changes to their patterns of thought, manage emotions, develop healthy self-awareness, self-value, self-acceptance, self-forgiveness, and self-love. Clients have the opportunity to learn and implement healthy coping techniques to help manage symptoms of mental, emotional, verbal, physical, and sexual trauma.

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.

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.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Certified Child and Adolescent Trauma Professional (CATP) who enjoys working with families of teenagers. I also work with individuals and greatly appreciate the opportunity to help others. Before becoming a therapist, I was an educator for 11 years and specialized in prenatal through age 5. My therapeutic style is a blend of Narrative and solution-focused approaches. I am a very open-minded individual who thrives when working with diverse groups. I typically work with teenagers and anxiety. I also provide group, couples, and family counseling. I am a Certified Child and Adolescent Trauma Professional and work with trauma compassionately. I am a very open communicator. I am easy to talk to and not easy to get a reaction out of. I tend to be very soft in my communication but will be more blunt if asked. I also like to use humor. I have wanted to be a therapist since I was 14 years old. What initially drew me at that age was not feeling like my parents understood me and wanting to help other teenagersparents understand and communicate with each other. I was a peer mediator at my school starting at age 8 all the way through graduation at 18. My career did not start in this field, as I was a teacheradministrator for 11 years. During my entire tenure in the education field, I always felt like I wanted to help the families more. This yearning renewed my passion for therapy. I am very attentive to my client's needs and pick up on their verbal, physical, and facial clues. I am a strong believer that clients should be in charge of their goal-setting. If needed, with this process, I am able to help guide them. During a first session, clients should expect me to review HIPAA, confidentiality, ethical codes, boundaries, goals, desire for therapy, and other logistics. Clients should also expect a "getting to know you" activity.
