Jolie Ann Ferguson
LPC, 15 years of experience
About me
I utilize a positive theoretical orientation which assumes that all individuals possess an innate desire for well-balanced emotional/mental health. I believe a person enters therapy with a strong wish, whether conscious or unconscious, to overcome obstacles and free themselves from constraints that are holding them back. I find that everyone needs a slightly different approach to accomplish these goals, so I adjust in technique for each specific challenge. I truly enjoy the experience of guiding my clients through this process and consider it a privilege to play such an important role in a person's life. “Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive.” ― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I will spend some time getting to know you and the issues that brought you into treatment. I will use a formal, structured interview, or it may just feel like a more free-flowing conversation.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Theories in counseling are important. However, they are often overrated. I think the therapeutic alliance is much more important than being able to apply theory in practice. While theories in counseling are important, I believe clients benefit most when they have a real connection with their therapist.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I absolutely loved my time with Jolie Ann, she had helped me get through some life stressors and allowed me the space to freely speak and not feel judged.

I got an adult adhd diagnosis. Having a therapist who specializes in adhd is great, which Jolie does. However, she also HAS adhd, and that has made all the difference. Simply, I don't have to explain a lot of things, she already understands. That has allowed me to progress more rapidly than I thought possible
