Are you looking for a therapy experience that is non traditional to a typical office talk therapy session? Are you frustrated you are struggling with the same issues year after year despite several bouts of therapy? Are you open to trying something different and having therapy sessions at a farm setting surrounded by nature and horses and donkeys? If this is intriguing, I invite you to continue reading. Counseling and Counselor Education Services of Georgia (CCESG) is located at my private farm in McDonough, Georgia. Clinical practice incorporates equine interactions, the farm environment, nature, and biofeedback to enhance the psychotherapy experience with you toward meeting your therapy goals The therapeutic experiences at this non traditional healthcare setting simply cannot be provided or replicated in a traditional office setting yet it does not replace evidenced based care which is at the core of my practice. As a retired Army Veteran and prior experience in the VA healthcare system, I have lived experience that enables me to understand the unique experiences across the military/veteran culture and how to access varied services. I very much welcome military Veterans and their family members seeking therapy and support services. You deserve a safe place to heal and grow. Whether you are challenged with anxiety, depression, trauma, life stressors, ADHD or other life issues that impede your happiness, I am here for you and look forward to working with you.

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.

I became a therapist because therapy changed my life. Experiencing mental illness caused struggle and emotional suffering, but lead me to seek help. The support I found brought solace and healing, and eventually opened doors that led to becoming a therapist. It is such a meaningful experience to reach those who are now where I once was. Over the years I had opportunities to work in many settings, including medical and mental health hospitals, intensive outpatient, and residential addiction treatment centers, and now private practice.

I prefer whenever possible to be client-led because I believe that we each have the answers we need within ourselves, and that you are the expert on you. That means my job is to develop a trusting relationship between us, to listen deeply, and reflect with you, encouraging and guiding you to reach your goals. I find this to be the most exciting and rewarding work I have ever done, and look forward to a collaboration based on who you are and what you need.

Are you stressed and overwhelmed by your health, your day-to-day life, or your relationships? As a Psychologist with more than 27 years of experience, as well as being a two-time breast cancer survivor and a caretaker for my elderly parents, I can help you to navigate health issues and life stresses more effectively. Life can be difficult for each of us at some point in time, in ways unique to our own circumstances. My goal is to help people through the tough chapters so that they move into better chapters with additional tools to handle challenges and stresses. I don't view people as being broken or needing fixing. We all need someone with whom to sort things through at times, someone who isn't part of our day-to-day mix. My goal is to help individual adults develop more effective expectations by redefining their stresses and challenges, to reduce emotional upset and distress by looking at their issues from a new angle, and to feel empowered by trying new approaches to effective problem-solving. I would be pleased to walk this journey with you, to reduce stress and find a more satisfying approach to life. Available appointments are those set aside specifically for intakes. Follow-up appointments are usually set for afternoons, Monday through Thursday. I cannot do letters, FMLA forms or provide disability opinions for clients who have not been involved in therapy for at least several months. If you have any questions about services or additional availability, you may contact me at (404) 889-6283.

Hello! I am a licensed psychologist practicing in Savannah, GA. I grew up in Indiana and got my B.S. from Purdue University. I did my graduate training at Point Park University in Pittsburgh, PA. I moved down to GA about three years ago and I love it! I split my clinical time between providing psychotherapy and conducting neuropsychological and psychological assessments. My therapeutic passion is working with people who are unsatisfied or uncertain with relationships, personal self, or life. I believe that the first step to change and growth is awareness. As such, my treatment approach focuses on getting to know the person inside and helping clients better understand themselves. With awareness, I find we can make decisions that are more authentic to ourselves and facilitate a life that is more fulfilling. I have gotten a wide variety of experience over the years. A portion of my training was with college-aged students. I also provided therapeutic care to all ages during graduate training via community mental health and residential settings. My post-graduate specialty was in psychological assessment. In my current clinic, I work with adults suffering from relational issues, self issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other mental health symptom presentation, as well as older adults for issues of cognitive change.

HI! My name is Mary Beth Ridderman. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida, and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Georgia. In addition to my state licensure, I have earned credentials as a National Certified Counselor, a Qualified LMHC Supervisor, a Certified Clinical Military Counselor, a Certified Life Coach, a Board Certified Tele-mental Health Counselor, a Social Investigator, and a Qualified Parenting Coordinator in Florida Circuits 3, 4, and 8. I am proud to be a member of Chi Sigma Iota, an International Academic and Professional Counseling Honor Society. In addition, I am a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor and Sand Tray Therapist Candidate, working with people of all ages, to add interesting and fun personal growth activities to the traditional counseling experience. A part of play therapy is sand tray therapy and I am passionate about collecting miniature items or “symbols” to represent all aspects of life. During video sessions, you will see my office and part of my collection. I love to teach other therapists and students about play therapy and sand tray therapy at universities or professional conferences. I have over twenty years' experience working with families as a child advocate with the court system and I currently provide social investigations and assist parents and children involved in contentious divorce or visitation issues. Perhaps my most rewarding experience was seven years’ providing individual and group counseling in a shelter for survivors of domestic violence. My specialties are working with individuals who have symptoms of stress, depression, anxiety, anger, traumatic brain injury, or who are experiencing family issues. I do not treat clients who have issues with suicide, substance abuse, or eating disorders: those issues are best served in face-to-face sessions and by therapists with credentials for treatment. Clients find that I genuinely like people from all walks of life, I am non-judgmental, and I am an excellent listener. Research supports, and I believe, that a strong client-counselor relationship is the most important part of the counseling experience and creating that bond is my goal. I look forward to meeting you, getting to know you, and working with to achieve your personal goals. Mary Beth

It is a pleasure to meet with you. I am Rebecca Gay Baldwin, LPC, CPCS, and completed my master's degree in Professional Counseling with Argosy University in 2004 and licensed as an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), since 2008, and provide supervision as a CPCS (Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor) with individuals seeking full licensure in Georgia. My experience in the field includes seven years of Homestead therapy in the North Georgia Mountains, working with children and families. Working with individuals seeking a life of recovery from alcohol or drug abuse began in 2004, when I began case management, and under supervision provided individual and group counseling with this population. This experience allowed me to seek opportunities to build on a growing knowledge in the field, which led to several opportunities of becoming a Clinical Evaluator and Treatment Provider with the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities. In 2009, I completed certification as an Anger Management Specialist (AMS) and also became certified with Prime for Life, allowing me to work with offenders of DUI (Driving Under the Influence) and those convicted of drug possession in the state of Georgia. I presently serve a robust population of college students from ages 18 and over. I particularly enjoy working with nontraditional students and students who are seeking a higher education and are juggling family-life, school, and employment. My passion to help others goes beyond my daily experiences with a college population. We are all learners and helpers who often need guidance with an empathic and caring individual, who provides professional work in a compassionate and meaningful manner.

Is emotional upheaval getting in the way of your moving forward with your life? I would love the opportunity to help you to sort through the sources of the emotions, help to make them more manageable, and help you to regain some sense of direction and progress for your life. Working toward more refined beliefs and understanding about emotions, circumstances, and responses to them can be helpful. In my roughly 28 years as a psychologist I have mostly worked with people who have problems with anxiety, depression, PTSD, anger, relationship problems, and aging issues. I have worked with ages ranging from elementary school to 70s and a little older. I have found that experience allows me to realize client needs more quickly than in my early years in practice, and hope to use this experience to your benefit. Note that online scheduling is limited. Broader scheduling options will be available to regularly scheduling clients, or by calling me at 678-322-8774. I typically respond to messages Monday morning through Thursday afternoon. Please also note that I do not provide opinions about disability or fitness to return to work or other activities for clients who are not well-established at the time that the request for such opinion is made.
