Hi, my name is Dr. Felicia Wilson. I am an licensed clinical social worker based in Georgia. Let’s face it, sometimes life can be overwhelming. For the past twenty-four years, I have worked with adults, seniors and families in a variety of settings including, home care, home health, nursing homes, private practice, and community-based practice.

My name is Jennifer Harelson and I graduated from Louisiana State University and became licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2004. I have experience working in psychiatric hospitals, behavioral intervention programs and on school and college campuses. I love working with children and young adults, helping them and their families to manage and understand some of the difficult disabilities they may be striving to overcome. I use play therapy as an important therapeutic tool for young children, as they are often able to engage and process their emotions and situations in a more beneficial way through play. Many behavioral and emotional issues are related to depression and anxiety, as well as many problems people have functioning daily. Working together on ways to decrease these symptoms, such as clients providing better self care skills, building strong coping skills and having improved perspectives is essential to a healthier well being. My role as your therapist is that through the supportive and close therapeutic relationship, you will gain insight and motivation to work toward change.

I’ve had the honor of serving people from all walks of life in my career since 2005, which first began as I initiated and operated a non-profit program for juveniles in my small town. It was funded by grants and donations, and I learned a lot about rural communities, human services, referral sources, and limited resources. I gained a passion for helping others and decided to pursue my degree to continue to help others. After receiving my Master’s degree in 2011, I began offering therapy to those in my community, always keeping in mind the heart of collaboration as well as working to help people make real change in their lives. I have learned some tremendous things about the necessity for validation, which is a theme that resonates in my work. Your thoughts and feelings matter. Taking the time to explore and validate them is a part of the healing journey and I am honored to be here with you during this time.

Meaningful change can take place once we are able to acknowledge that change is needed. In my profession as a therapist, my goal is to help others achieve change, growth, and improved mental health in their lives. It was during my own therapeutic experience many years ago where I learned the value of the journey to change and mental wellness. I would later decide to become an agent of change for others when I obtained my master’s in social work. My passion is working with women to help them effectively manage their mental health. As a woman I understand the challenges with having several roles and the expectation of being perfect in each role. I assist my clients by empowering them to take their own journey of self-discovery that leads to learning, growing, and thriving. My approach to the therapeutic process is person centered and focused as I believe clients are the experts of their own lives. My goal is to offer the support needed to facilitate the change and growth my clients seek.

Hello and Welcome! Let's face it: sex and intimacy can be a bit complicated, no matter how old you are or how long you've been sexually active.

Allow me to create a safe space for you to become a master at communicating your needs, feel more comfortable in your body, and experience safe and pleasurable intimate encounters. As a licensed clinical social worker, I embrace and value the uniqueness of each individual as they enter a process of self-discovery and healing. I believe every individual is unique, and therapy should be tailored to meet the needs of the individual, family and/or couple.
