Lowell Wallace
Hello, my name is Lowell Wallace and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Master's degree in Social Work in 2013 and went on to earn my LCSW in 2017. I have expertise in working with individuals and families with co-occurring substance abuse and other counseling issues. I also have expertise in providing counseling to individuals with mood and anxiety disorders, relationship issues, family conflict, trauma, ADHD, and much more. I utilize a client-centered approach and realize clients are the experts on their own lives. I work collaboratively with my clients in setting and reaching their goals that will ultimately benefit their lives. Some of my most used clinical approaches are cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. I enjoy these approaches because it allows me to help my clients gain insight into their core beliefs and how these translate into their thoughts and ultimately their behavior. I believe everyone has inherent strengths and abilities to face and overcome adversity and become more empowered and all they need is some assistance to realize their solution lies within themselves. I truly enjoy working with others and assisting them in becoming better version of themselves.
Dr. Jason Reasor
I has been counseling individuals and couples since July 2007 while serving as a pastor and spiritual leader. My desire to help people led to me completing my MA in counseling from Midwestern Baptist Seminary and have been working as a professional counselor since August 2018. I recently completed my doctorate in professional counseling from Mississippi College in August 2021. My approach to counseling is holistic in nature and I believe in counseling the “whole” individual (thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and social considerations). I use an integrative design of various counseling theories that utilizes a broad array of both evidence-based and protocol-driven interventions which has shown positive outcomes for individuals experiencing mental health struggles as well as substance abuse clients. I love working with all my clients and have experience with children, adolescents, adults, as well as veterans dealing with trauma. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you to become the best version of yourself!

Life is incredibly tough right now. Do you find that you are facing more challenges each and every day? Counseling can help you gain insight, strength, and a new perspective in order to face these challenges head on. So many individuals question themselves and their life path. Are you unsure how to navigate life? Do you experience depression and anxiety? Are you a highly sensitive person, an empath, or both? With counseling, it is possible to see and experience a positive shift, an upward momentum, and changes in a direction that feels better – all in an effort to get you back to yourself. As a licensed professional counselor with 17 years’ experience, my goal is to offer non-judgmental support and provide a safe space in which to discuss difficult topics. I enjoy working with individuals with a variety of issues and challenges. I have experience and knowledge in working with depression, anxiety, post-partum depression, ADHD, grief, low self-esteem, life balance, and intrapersonal relationships. As a team, we will work together using a holistic approach to explore your concerns, help you reach your goals, and put the vision you have for your life and purpose in place. You are not alone on your journey to self-discovery and wholeness.
