Hi, my name is Dr. Dionne Mahaffey, and I am licensed in both Alabama and Georgia. I am a collaborative, solution-focused Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I/O Psychologist (PsyD), and purpose coach. I completed my doctoral training in psychology at the University of Arizona and my master's-level clinical work at the University of the Cumberlands. I started my career as a software developer and eventually ascended to the C-suite. I've also been a global consultant and a tech startup founder. My interdisciplinary skills and eclectic life and career experiences uniquely position me to assist clients facing a wide range of emotional and well-being challenges.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. Overall, my philosophy is to treat each person as a unique individual, worthy of unconditional acceptance, regardless of his or her personal circumstances or struggles. It is my desire to come alongside, challenge, and encourage my clients to find healing emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I provide support, guidance and practical feedback to help clients effectively address life's challenges. It is my mission to provide the highest quality clinical services to promote the emotional and relational potential of all clients. I am committed to the core values of respect, responsiveness, innovation and quality to enhance the unique experience of each individual that I encounter.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I help any adult navigating significant life transitions. My wheelhouse is high-achieving men and women, including executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders. My professional background and personal insights uniquely equip me to understand and address the complex dynamics these individuals often face. I specialize in guiding clients through career crossroads and purpose work, helping them decide their next steps and align their professional lives with their deeper values. Common issues we tackle include anxiety, depression, managing work related stress, navigating career changes, and dealing with the challenges that come with leadership roles and entrepreneurship. I also work extensively with clients to identify and overcome barriers that prevent them from reaching their full potential and achieving a balanced, fulfilling life.
