LPC, 16 years of experience
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. I received my Masters from Lindsey Wilson College in Kentucky and have been practicing for 16 years. I help clients struggling with traumas, anxiety , depression and behavioral concerns. I have experience in working in multiple settings including telehealth, school based, office and in home counseling. I utilize several modalities in my counseling including strength based, trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT and CBT.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, strengths and cultural importance. Then we will dive into the specific challenges you're experiencing. This will help me create an individualized treatment plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
In my career, I have worked in a variety of settings with children and adults processing traumas, anxiety, and depression. I have worked with numerous children and adults whom have been abused or struggle with maintaining appropriate emotional expression and control of behaviors for the past 16 years.
My strengths are working with children, adolescents and adults who have experienced traumas. I utilize trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy techniques in working with children. My clients often experience anxiety, depression and behavioral concerns.

I liked that Misty listened to what my goals were and gave me the clear impression that she can help me as I navigate a recent trauma. I also liked that she's not going to ask for me to recount things without equipping me with the tools I need to deal with them. I also respect her willingness to share information about herself to help me connect with her.

Misty is truly fantastic - I think I finally found a great therapist and I've definitely been through a few. She has a calming personality and stays focused on ways to help me be more calm and happy with myself and with my husband.....which is why I'm here. I've only had a few sessions with her, but I am confident she will be helpful with working through some of my traumas and issues in life and look forward to more sessions to come.
