Diahann is passionate about helping her clients heal from life experiences that have left them hurt and feeling hopeless. My particular interest in counseling stems from my desire and ability to see the good potential in people. I appreciate and respect a person’s resilience and optimism to seek help in counseling. Resilience requires persistence, so counseling is a good opportunity for people to reflect on their past experiences and explore their feelings and values. Clients place a great deal of vulnerability and responsibility in seeking help from professional counselors.

Hello! My name is Leticia Graham. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Southeast Georgia. I received my Bachelor of Science in Health with an emphasis on Substance Abuse in 1995 from the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, Florida. I later decided to return to the University of North Florida and received my Master of Science in Health with an emphasis on Health Education/Health Promotion and my Master of Public Health. I worked as a substance abuse counselor for 15 years with both adolescents and adults in Jacksonville, Florida. Many of these clients were dual diagnosed clients (also suffering from mental health issues). In November 2013, I was laid off due to the grant I worked under ending and not being renewed. During this time, I have found that I would like to continue working in the counseling field on a part-time basis while my daughter is in school. It was at this time that I decided to pursue my Master of Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. Christ led me to this career.

I’ve enjoyed working with clients who are looking for change in their lives and are willing to take an honest look at patterns and behaviors that have historically led to conflict or unhappiness. The amazing aspect of working with these clients is that they often already know what needs to be done. Having a nonjudgmental space to explore behavior patterns that oppose what they say they want to accomplish, helps to bring these behaviors into the light and enable self-identified changes needed for success. As a counselor, I feel it is my job to act as a mirror so that clients can see themselves more clearly, and not to give advice, that, on some level, they already know needs to happen. My goal is to be the client's most avid cheerleader.

I am Joseph Manu, a Licensed Professional Counselor and therapist licensed in the state of Georgia, with seven years of professional experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through a variety of life challenges. I have experience helping clients who are struggling with depression, stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, low motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that every person deserves to be treated with respect, sensitivity, compassion, dignity, and without judgment. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment where clients can openly discuss their concerns and work toward meaningful and lasting change. I earned my Master of Science (M.S.) in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. I am passionate about working with pre-teens, adolescents, and adults who may be experiencing challenges such as low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship and marital difficulties, domestic violence, addiction, and other personal or emotional concerns. My therapeutic approach is integrative and client-centered, drawing from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused techniques. I work collaboratively with each client to identify strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and address the challenges affecting their emotional well-being and daily life. Whether working with individuals, couples, or families, I understand that every person's circumstances and experiences are unique. Therefore, I tailor our conversations and treatment plan to meet your specific needs, goals, and circumstances. My goal is to provide compassionate support and practical guidance that empowers you to overcome challenges, discover healthy solutions, and move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. Taking the first step toward seeking support can be difficult, but you do not have to face life's challenges alone. Together, we can work toward healing, growth, and positive change.

I always knew that I wanted to be a helping professional. As part of an assignment, while taking a counseling course designed to assist offenders with substance abuse problems, I had to write in five words or less what I wanted people to remember about me. My words were “helped people live better lives.” I have over 30 years of experience working with clients who live with psychiatric and substance use disorders. I started my "helping" career working for the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC). After observing the effects of early childhood trauma on many of the offenders that I supervised, I decided to end my 21-year career with GDC and pursue an education in counseling. I have never regretted this decision! For the last 6 years I have provided psychotherapy for individuals and groups. I love doing what I believe I have been called to do and my life's work remains guided by those five simple words in my title. I look forward to helping you learn to live a better life!
