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.

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.

First, let me congratulate you on taking the first steps toward a more fulfilling life! I can't wait to walk with you as you achieve your wellness goals. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida, Georgia, Kansas and Nevada and I hold a Clinical Supervisor Endorsement thru the National Association of Addiction Professionals. Originally from New Jersey, I attended Rutgers University and graduated with a BA in Psychology. I originally wanted to be a teacher, however, after teaching middle school kids for five years I felt I was being pulled to a different career where I could make more of a difference and assist people in living fuller, more rewarding lives. I decided to apply to the University of Georgia and sought a Master's degree in Social Work. I have been licensed for over 10+ years. I specialize in working with clients who struggle with healing from trauma, alcohol and substance abuse, depression and anxiety and adjusting to various stressful life situations. I believe that change happens when people are given the support they need to draw on their own strengths and realize their potential to live fulfilling, happy lives. I'm looking forward to working with you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience in counseling and direct case management. Most of my career has been spent with children and families in the midst of homelessness, foster care, and/or adoption, so I am no stranger to walking alongside others in their lowest valleys and on their highest mountains. I have also worked with many adults and couples as they navigate depression, grief and loss, anxiety, and relationship issues. With a background in psychology and a continued interest in the way that our brains impact our lives, I work with each unique client to untangle the white noise in their mind and achieve their goals.

Hi, I'm Becca. I enjoy working with the adult population especially those going through any type of transition in life which can cause stress. My expertise is in helping people reduce overall symptoms of traumatic stress (PTSD), anxiety, including obsessive-compulsive disorder and social anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, grief and loss and relationship issues. I also have a lot of experience working with the LGBTQ+ population, especially those who experience sexual and gender identity issues. Are you having intrusive thoughts or emotions that are hard to stop or distract from? Are you prone to pleasing others and feel the stress of caretaking? We can work together to help you better understand how the mind and body impact your behavior and get you back to feeling more in control. I use both talk therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to help process your concerns to reduce overall distress and improve emotional regulation. It can be very intimidating to start counseling. My goal is to provide a safe and open space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and impulses for you to heal and move forward. I look forward to working with you!

Hi I am Suzie Amacker. I help people who struggle with anxiety and relationships to feel a lot less anxious. Are you always a little bit afraid that an anxiety attack is right around the corner? Have you been hit with surprise anxiety more times than you can count? I know exactly how you feeling, the pounding chest, the shortness of breath, the feeling that the walls are closing in on you. Attacks can be terrifying and I don't want you to suffer from them anymore. You have made a good choice in choosing to get help. Through therapy, I hope to provide a lasting life-changing experience which will result in you feeling stronger and more satisfied with yourself and your relationships. Holistic practices can reduce anxiety tremendously and I look forward to teaching you tools to take your life back. It is important that your know you don't have to be alone in this journey. I specialize in helping clients feel better, improve functioning and improve the different relationships in their lives. I am results oriented with a kind and empathic, yet direct approach. If you are motivated and willing to work toward your goals, we can work together to get there.
