Hello, my name is Kellie Harrison and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) practicing and licensed in the state of Georgia. I received my Bachelors of Science in Psychology at Austin Peay State University in Tennessee and I moved to Atlanta to obtain my Masters in Counseling at The Professional School of Psychology at Argosy University Atlanta. I graduated with my Masters in 2013 and have been practicing with licensure since then. I have 12 years of experience working in the mental health field.
Our first session will be an initial assessment to gather information about you and your needs for counseling. I will create a treatment plan based on goals that we discuss. After this, going forward, we will get to know each other and my goal is for you to feel comfortable with talking to me. We will work towards goals in the treatment plan and it's okay to add to this or change goals!
I like to have people recognize the strengths that they possess and guide them to use it to the best of their ability. Let me help you gain back your confidence, work through those difficult times, and teach you some coping skills that you can utilize to make you the best version of yourself.
Helping the client understand their thoughts and feelings, examining any distortion in the thoughts leading to negative feelings, and helping with changing the thoughts by exploring different perspectives.
Identifying strengths and needs, focusing on possibilities and solutions. Exploring what life will look like once the problem is resolved.
