SIDE NOTE FOR FIRST TIME CLIENT'S
I want transparency about late cancelation and no show charges. I understand things happen so the best way to communicate that is to reach out to me. In order to avoid the late cancelation fee please cancel within 24 hours and 1 min of the appointment time. Grow provides a cancelation link or you can reach out to me and I can help you reschedule the appointment if available. Also if a client does not log on within 15 minutes of the start time, it's considered a no show and the no show fee is charged.

As someone who was born into poverty and struggled with traumas of my own, I know how difficult life can be at times. Being there for others was something that took my mind off of the stressors of home. After becoming a teen mom, I knew I had to change my life for the better to support my family. I went to college to both heal myself and learn how to help and heal others. I am passionate about helping others meet their goals, feel happy, and have loving supportive relationships in their lives.

My family was stationed at Fort Stewart before we settled in Statesboro. I went on to complete my undergraduate degree in Child Psychology at Kaplan University and earned my Master's in Counseling from Wake Forest University. Since 2016, I have dedicated my career to working with children, adolescents, families, and adults. I achieved my LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in 2021. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy and understanding, and I believe in creating a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. I specialize in addressing issues such as depression, ADHD, stress, adolescent and teen mental/behavioral health, children's mental/behavioral health, military and veteran support, family relationships, grief and bereavement, anxiety, and anger management.
When you work with me, you can expect a compassionate and collaborative approach. I strive to understand each client's unique story and work together to develop personalized strategies that promote healing and growth. Whether you are dealing with stress, navigating family dynamics, or seeking support for yourself, your child or teen, I am here to help.

Brunswick, GA - Accepting clients in GA
Hello! My name is Denise Schuster. I am a licensed professional counselor in Ga. I have been in practice for many years. I work with people who have depression, anxiety, marriage problems, addiction problems, weight problems, general life problems or adjustment problems to specific life events. I often use CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) with my clients as I believe how we think about things affects how we feel. I also like to encourage people to eat healthy, exercise and get good sleep as I believe these go a long way in helping not only our physical health, but our mental health too.

McDonough, GA - Accepting clients in GA
Welcome! Thank you for stopping by!
I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Georgia and North Carolina. I received my bachelor’s in Social Work from NC Central University in Durham, NC (Eagle Pride!) and my master’s in Direct Practice Social Work from SUNY Albany in Albany, NY.
I am a motivational therapist and believe nothing will change unless you do! I believe in the law of attraction, holistic therapies and manifest anything we want in our lives. It all begins with our thoughts. I am passionate about helping change our thoughts from defeat to being empowered.
Although I enjoy working with all populations, I have a tender heart for clients affectionally known as “Mom!” I recently authored two books: “15 Minute Journal Prompts for the Postpartum Mom” and “Mindful Mandalas for Moms.” I have experience working with children, military servicemen/women, couples and young adults.
I am a knowledgeable, warm and goal-oriented therapist. I use a variety of treatment modalities depending on your needs. I primarily focus on:
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Mindfulness
Acceptance and Commitment Focused Therapy
I’m happy to refer individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder, borderline PD, schizophrenia, eating disorders or substance abuse disorders to one of my colleagues.
I meet you exactly where you are with 0 judgement. I'd love to help you move from feeling anxious, confused, depressed or “stuck” to gaining clarity, feeling hopeful, happy and “unstuck”!
Let's make the world your oyster! It would be my pleasure to work with you.

Hi there! I’m Ayana, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with an MSW degree. As a Christian therapist, I specialize in helping Black and African-American women who are struggling with anxiety, depression, anger management, life transitions, spirituality, and stress.
There are times when we find ourselves on autopilot, in a state of being that is mundane, overwhelming, and monotonous. If you are feeling stuck and want more out of life, I'm here to assist with setting goals, overcoming limiting beliefs, and developing appropriate coping skills that will propel you forward in life. I use a combination approach that includes mindfulness practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused, and person-centered therapies. These techniques help with grounding and appreciating the present moment while identifying belief patterns that are a hindrance. My services are offered on an easily accessible virtual platform, making it convenient for you to receive the support you need from the comfort of your own space.
I believe that seeking therapy is a courageous and empowering step towards improving your overall mental well-being. You have already taken the right step by seeking out a qualified therapist, and I want you to know that I am here for you. Together, we can work on creating a life that feels more fulfilling and aligned with your true self. Outside of my professional life, I value spirituality and the strength it brings to the healing process. I am passionate about helping my clients find balance and peace in their lives. If you're ready to embark on this journey towards better mental health, let's connect and start this transformative process together.
