I have also worked as a counselor for several Georgia accountability courts, drug courts, mental health court, and Veterans Court. I am a Certified Advance Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor through the ADACBGA. I am certified to provide several group therapies, such as Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), Seeking Safety, Trauma Recovery and Empowerment Model (TREM) for both men and women, and SMART Recovery, as well as extensive My approach is supportive, empathetic, and, above all, pragmatic. While understanding the past is essential, change can only occur in the present. I will challenge you to be an active partner in therapy and to work toward ongoing insight, growth, and positive change both in and outside of sessions. As a co-occurring disorder therapist, I have heard so many times, You cannot understand it if you have never lived it, I have lived it in both my personal and professional life. This means I can be more than compassionate; I can be empathetic because I have worked through and lived so many of the experiences my clients struggle with.

Life transitions, grief, and loss can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to face them alone. In therapy, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel comfortable being open and vulnerable, while also finding the encouragement you need to move forward. My approach blends empathic listening with practical planning, helping you draw on your strengths while working through challenges. I believe therapy should be collaborative and tailored to your unique needs—there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Together, we’ll identify what matters most to you and create a path toward the goals and peace you’re seeking. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 9 years of experience supporting individuals and couples in Georgia and Florida. Over that time, I’ve walked alongside clients through grief, anxiety, stress, and major life changes, helping them find clarity, resilience, and hope.

Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile. I'm Joe, and I would be honored to meet with you and learn about the Social, Emotional, Relational, Professional, or other type of challenge that you are experiencing. I have spent my entire 30+ year career helping people address and manage various personal and professional difficulties, and I would consider it a privilege to walk alongside you and be a resource during your time of challenge. In addition to traditional talk therapy, when applicable, I utilize experiential approaches as well, such as viewing brief video clips, reviewing online media, and print material, etc. to help broaden the overall service experience. I am "leaned in" as it relates to helping people, and I have authored two personal development books wherein I offer tips to help people manage life in a healthy and successful manner. I utilize the approaches in these books in my personal life, and I sometimes reference the content in sessions as a way to illustrate a concept or help with a situation. My professional and clinical mission is to help my clients Heal, Grow, & Thrive! Please reach out to me today and let's work together, discover new insights, and identify effective solutions to address your concerns. I look forward to hearing from you. Until then... Be Well! ~ Joe

My journey into counseling began after witnessing how military service affected the emotional well-being and relationships of someone close to me. Approaching those changes with compassion and curiosity led me to study human behavior, and since then I have had the privilege of supporting domestic violence survivors, individuals involved in the court system, outpatient community mental health clients, residents in substance use and personality disorder treatment programs, and military personnel during my own time in service. Today, I continue to build on that experience through specialized training in relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and trauma, creating a supportive space where adults can heal, strengthen relationships, and move toward the life they want.

Hi, I'm Ashley, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Reiki II practitioner. I believe that somewhere underneath the anxiety, the self-doubt, and the patterns that keep repeating, there is a version of you that already knows the way. My job isn't to fix you. It's to create a space steady enough that you can actually hear yourself. Together we get curious about the thoughts that won't quiet down, the emotions that feel bigger than the moment, the behaviors that keep showing up even when you don't want them to, and what all of it is actually trying to tell you. I utilize a holistic approach, bringing tools into our work that help you understand what's happening in your mind and body when you're overwhelmed, so you can actually do something about it instead of just surviving it. But more than any method or modality, I show up as a real person walking alongside you, trusting that you are the expert on your own life. If you're ready to listen to that wiser part of yourself and create meaningful change, I'd be honored to walk with you.
