Hello! My name is Catherine, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in the beautiful North Georgia mountain town of Blairsville. I share my home with my dog, Bella, and a house bunny, Claire, and I am a very proud mother of two amazing daughters who also live in Georgia. I earned my degree from Argosy University in Atlanta and bring over 14 years of experience as a mental health therapist. My professional background includes extensive work in inpatient, outpatient, and community settings, supporting adults facing a wide range of challenges such as PTSD and trauma, depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, addiction and dependence, and concerns related to the LGBTQ+ community. I am deeply committed to providing a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore their experiences, build resilience, and work toward meaningful personal growth.

Feeling disconnected from yourself or the life you’re living? I support clients seeking deeper self-understanding and liberation from patterns and identities that no longer serve them. In a compassionate, collaborative, and affirming space, we explore healing and empower you to create a life that feels aligned, authentic, intentional, and alive. I prioritize communication that is open and self-expressive. I listen deeply, mirroring what I hear while offering feedback that supports insight and growth. I foster a safe space where you’re encouraged to share and reflect without judgment. Sessions are a space where you don’t have to filter yourself—your voice and lived experience are welcome. What matters most to you shapes our work. Together, we define your aspirations and work to manifest them into your lived reality. I help translate inner vision into tangible goals by revisiting them as insight, needs, and capacity shift. Our focus is on fostering and integrating change into daily life, so transformation is purposeful and embodied.

Life is a journey and we all need to reach out for help at times. I have been helping clients for over 20 years move forward through depression, stress, anxiety, grief, adjusting to life transitions and coping with chronic illness. I understand that life gets tough and sometimes we get stuck. I provide honest and genuine counseling with true compassion for my clients. I have lots of positive energy and love sharing practical tools and skills to really help clients reach their goals and empower them to move forward. I provide a combination of client focused counseling techniques like Motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, Mindfulness and solution oriented brief therapy. I'm so happy that you took a step to reach out for help and looking forward to working with you. I am currently providing video/ teletherapy sessions. Appointments available!

I'm a trauma informed therapist who specializes in helping individuals untangle the mental loops that drive anxiety, shame, and emotional pain.

By helping people get unstuck, they can fully reclaim their clarity, power, and recombined self.

Are you hurting, feeling stuck, overwhelmed, scared, or lost? It can be hard to see sometimes, but you have what it takes to make powerful changes, to create your own pathway to health and well-being. Whether it is anxiety, depression, grief, adjustment to change, relationship problems, or other issues, we can work toward resolution and a greater sense of peace. I have been a licensed counselor for more than twenty years and have helped clients of all ages, backgrounds, and circumstances. I have an eclectic and nonjudgmental approach and my goal is to unconditionally support you throughout this process. You are not here by mistake. There is no better time to begin taking steps to improve your life situation. I am licensed in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida and my counseling practice is entirely online (video and phone). My hours are Monday through Friday, with first appointments starting at 9 AM and last appointments at 5 PM. I use the first session to get to know you better, and from there we can address your issues together.

I have been practicing psychotherapy part-time for about 30 years while I was a full-time college professor at the University of Miami, The University of Tennessee at Martin, and Middle Georgia State University. Since 2023, I decided to retire from Higher Education and practice full-time as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Macon, GA. Every time I meet with a client, I consider it a "holy" moment when someone allows me to enter into their inner space and I can share some of mine to establish a genuine connection with a fellow sojourner.

I am a change agent and an advocate for mental wellness. I am deeply committed to advancing trauma-informed care and promoting mental and emotional wellness. My passion lies in integrating systemic perspectives with hands-on practice to support individuals and communities.

Things have started falling apart around you. You're worried about losing a relationship, your job, or worse. People close to you have started to mention they are worried about you. A part of you wants to change, but you're stuck between unbearable emotions and trying to keep everything under control. And it's not working out. You may be lashing out, drinking more, or avoiding people close to you. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, shame from the past, or out-of-control substance use, you don’t have to stay where you are – suffering. You’re resilient and persistent, and right now, you’re just stuck. I help people recover from being stuck in anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or the shame that comes with out-of-control substance use. I can help you figure out how to get back on track by teaching you the tools you’ll need to manage your feelings and problems and how to recover your relationships. No one needs to go through what you are feeling, alone. If you are ready for a new strategy and to try something different, I can help. The biggest result I could give you is to help you remove barriers that prevent you from achieving your goals. I do this with DBT, Brainspotting, and other therapy techniques. Take the first step and schedule an appointment online.

Over the course of 12 years as a counselor, I've helped clients overcome anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other conditions that prevented them from reaching their potential and enjoying life.

I offer a warm, welcoming environment and use techniques that are backed by research to help you achieve your goals in therapy. I am currently available for appointments: Monday though Thursday 9am-2pm Friday 9am-6pm

*** Well hello there! I'm Tammy, and it's so good to meet you! I’m a dedicated, fully-licensed and board certified professional counselor who’s passionate about supporting individuals on their journey to wellness. I use "talk therapies" to provide therapeutic support, guidance, clinical insight / education, and advocacy for those I serve.

I’m huge fan of Magic the Gathering, ALL things Disney, Marvel/MCU, Supernatural, The Boys, and penguins, because I believe them to be the cutest, silliest of all creatures! I LOVE watching movies, spending time with family and friends, collecting trading cards, video gaming, board gaming, weight training, martial arts, graphic design, walking around aimlessly in bookstores, attending conventions, and spreading positive light as best I can.

My style is gently directive: I offer clear guidance and structure while inviting clients to explore and uncover the profound wisdom, resilience, and worth—the true “gold”—that resides within their own hearts. Often, this inner treasure lies buried beneath the wounds and pain carried from childhood. Together, we engage in the courageous, transformative work of healing those early hurts, fostering a deeper sense of wholeness so clients can live and relate from a full, healthy, and integrated heart.
