Milledgeville, GA - Accepting clients in GA
Hello, I am Shaqueena. Are you tired of being tired? Do you feel that no one understands your situation or that no one can relate? Are you unsure if therapy is right for you?
If you are here, then that means that you are ready and motivated to make some changes in your life. Seeking help can sometimes be tough, which is why I believe that we all experience things in our life that goes beyond our ability to cope and when that happens we need a little more assistance.
As a licensed professional counselor, my ultimate goal is to first normalize seeking assistance by decreasing the stigma on mental health. In doing so, my goal is to assist individuals in their healing process, to empower individuals to become the best version of themselves and to help individuals to see that life is completely what you make it.
My preference for treatment is to utilize a trauma-informed approach in addition to CBT, EMDR and Choice/Reality Therapy.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about how I may be able to help you. Call me "Elana" please. Through experience, I have been able to help individuals overcome the overwhelm of "life" stressors, anxiety, depression, relationship patterns and move forward to a MUCH better "place" in life. My style is very natural, conversational, engaging, attentive, and warm (according to what past clients have said). I combine several techniques to create a very solution-based approach. Using my counseling style, and experience, I want to get you to the point of thriving (not just surviving).
I started working in the mental health field in 1997. Since that time, I have held various roles as a psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, manager, and agency director. Decades in at this point, and I still love being a part of people changing their lives for the better.
Life can bring challenges that at times feel like just too much to sort through or overcome on your own. It brings great fulfillment to me to be a part of helping you to move beyond pain - beyond overwhelming stress - beyond not knowing -– beyond feeling confused. Walking WITH you through the tunnel, all the way to the other side, I learned long ago, that helping people 'change' is what I was called to do. I am humbled to be able to help you.

Conyers, GA - Accepting clients in GA
Hello! My name is Jessica Hallman and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia. Many of us go throughout life having to be different versions of ourselves, whether that’s being different versions at work, with friends or with family. We get into this mode where we compartmentalize, hide ourselves and our experiences for various reasons which can include shame, pain, anxiety, anger, or fear of not being accepted. This often leaves us feeling lost, tired, unfulfilled, or unhappy.
Whether you are experiencing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, problems with relationships, or a general sense of disconnectedness, I will work alongside you to promote inner healing, self discovery, and acceptance while allowing you to feel fully seen. I’m committed to creating a space that is safe, supportive, and non-judgmental where you can gently put down the “mask” and bring your whole self.
I believe in having an individualized approach to meeting your needs. With the use of Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, and Solution Focused Therapy, I will support you in gaining strength and finding joy. My belief is that we are each uniquely the captains of our own lives and at times, just need a new or different perspective on how to navigate our experiences.
Let’s partner together, with you leading the way at your own pace (mask off), and begin the process of restoring your inner peace.

Macon, GA - Accepting clients in GA
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been counseling clients dealing with a variety of mental, emotional, and relational issues for over 16 years. I have counseled adolescents, adults, families, couples and groups. I decided to pursue a doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy because I realized the impact that our families, and society as well, have on our mental and emotional development. The impacts of these are both positive and negative and may manifest as depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, a lack of a sense of self and other mental and emotional disorders.
In counseling, I help clients explore those influences and the impact on their life. My specialties then center around helping clients gain insight into those influences, become more empowered, develop a stronger sense of self, and take steps to become who they really are; thereby addressing mental and emotional health issues.
It's important to note that many times, experiences unfortunately include trauma and loss. It may be childhood or other trauma. Identifying, acknowledging and processing trauma and loss is therefore often a part of the process of becoming more empowered and developing that strong sense of self described above.

I obtained my Doctorate in Applied Clinical Psychology in 2013 and have been practicing for the past 10 years. As someone with their own lived experience, I assist my clients in learning and utilizing skills to help manage their anxiety and depression in a trusting and nonjudgmental environment. Seeking counseling is a difficult thing to do and I allow my clients to have control throughout the process. From intake session and deciding on treatment goals, to ongoing sessions, I listen to my clients to determine what would be the best course of treatment and work equally in assisting them in achieving their goals.

Hello! I’m a licensed mental health counselor, licensed in both WA and GA. I received my MA in psychology counseling in 2004 and have worked as a school based counselor before entering into my private practice in 2010. I enjoy partnering with clients to uncover the roots of maladaptive thinking. Once there is awareness and understanding healing can blossom.
I love Jesus and acknowledge He is the source of our healing. I have a solid church family, a wonderful husband, beautiful daughter and two sons. I live on a peaceful farm with wide open spaces and a big garden.
I enjoy playing in the dirt and reading good books…it’s a truly beautiful life.

Empowerment Begins Here: See How the Right Support Can Reshape Your Path!
Hello there! I am Janesta Nairn, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS) based in Georgia. I earned my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision at the University of Holy Cross, and my Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University, both are CACREP-accredited universities. I have accumulated over a decade of experience in the field. I am a faith-driven professional who draws from various modalities to meet the unique needs of each individual with a person-centered foundation, prioritizing a safe, non-judgmental space to explore experiences and goals with empathy and understanding. My primary goal is to create a supportive and nurturing space to facilitate healing, encourage wellness, inspire personal growth, and survive trauma-related circumstances.
I am under consultation and pursuing my Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) credential for children ages 18 and below. Therefore, if you are a parent of a 12 to 18-year-old who has faced trauma, and both you and your child are willing to commit to at least 15 structured sessions, I strongly encourage you to reach out and schedule a consultation.
