*******I am currently NOT doing couples counseling******* I have been providing counseling in various settings for over 20 years, with 14 years as a licensed professional. I am a counselor who provides services in the state of GA and Utah. I hold a Doctorate of Theology in Christian Counseling and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have worked closely with Veterans, people suffering from adjustment disorder, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, couples, empty nesters and other persons who are experiencing loss or grief or relationship problems. My style of counseling includes cognitive behavioral therapy; helping you to improve your mental clarity by thinking and developing coping mechanisms to overcome the issues that are concerning to you. My approach utilizes motivational interviewing. I want to point out the incongruence in what you say versus what you do; so we can begin to realign your thoughts with your actions and behaviors. Help in whatever area you are struggling with is just an email, click, text or phone call away. What are you waiting for; lets help you become your best self.

Hi, I’m Carmen Ardoin, LPC, and I’m really glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s toughest moments. As a therapist, I understand how important it is to have a space where you don’t have to explain or shrink who you are. My work has taken me into homes, schools, juvenile courts, DFCS offices, and community agencies, so I’ve truly seen how complicated life can get. I’ve helped children, teens, and adults who are dealing with things like: • Stress and overwhelm • Anxiety and depression • Trauma and difficult life experiences • Parenting challenges and family conflict • Behavioral concerns with kids and teens • Court involvement or child welfare stress • Relationship struggles and communication issues What it’s like to work with me: Therapy with me is real and supportive. There’s no judgment here — just space to breathe, talk, process, and grow. We’ll focus on what matters most to you and develop practical tools you can use outside of sessions. We’ll celebrate progress, find moments of humor when we can, and move forward at a pace that feels right for you. I use a mix of approaches like CBT, solution-focused therapy, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness — but I always tailor the process to fit you. My goal is to help you feel heard, empowered, and capable of creating change in your life. Who I love working with: • Adults juggling a lot and trying to find balance • Kids and teens who need someone in their corner • Parents and caregivers building healthy family relationships • Youth or families involved in foster care or juvenile court • Anyone ready to heal, grow, and feel more like themselves again Starting therapy can feel like a big step — and it is. But it’s also a courageous step toward the life and peace you deserve. Whenever you’re ready, I’m here to walk with you. 💛

As a licensed therapist in Georgia, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on understanding and empowering clients through challenges like anxiety, trauma, self-esteem issues, and ADHD. With over a decade of professional experience, I bring compassionate, culturally responsive care that honors each person's unique journey. My therapeutic practice is rooted in creating a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth. I am committed to providing thoughtful, individualized support that respects your identity, background, and lived experiences. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I work collaboratively with clients to build resilience, develop coping skills, and foster self-understanding. My goal is to support you in discovering your inner strengths and creating positive, sustainable changes in your life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been working in the field for over 30 years. In my career I have worked in many different settings with many different populations. I have come to believe that most of us struggle in life due to our environment not fitting us. We do also have a history and that is relevant and critical to where we are at this point in our lives. How we navigate the world we find ourselves in at the present is critical. To be plain we all need to understand our nature. Each one of us has strengths and weaknesses. Depending on the setting sometimes what is a strength in one area becomes a weakness in another. And of course the reverse is also true. I jokingly tell people that we all need to figure out what is our ice cream flavor. I see no reason to contribute to peoples feelings that they have something wrong with them. Or that they are not normal. We simply are healthy in our lives or we feel unhealthy in our own lives. My goal is to help people figure out what will make them healthy. Most answers are right in front of us and they make sense when someone help us see them. My style is straight forward, but hopefully not rude or cruel. I strive to help everyone feel hopeful and empowered. I will explain in as much detail as desired about why I think the way I do about any issue. People want to feel progress so I attempt to help them move forward as quickly as possible. There is no magic. If whatever i say doesn't make sense then challenge me. My goal is to simple help you meet your goal. My primary intervention style is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I borrow from many other styles when i feel it is appropriate, but I find that CBT is the most logical framework to best help people. My areas of expertise: ADHD Depression Anxiety OCD Relationship Issues Parenting issues Grief Behavioral Problems Other areas of experience include: I also work a great deal with LGBTQ issues, Work place issues, PTSD, Military and Veterans Issues. I also work with anger issues, divorce issues, and co-parenting problems. I have seen a lot of things in 30 years. If someone wants to find out if I have worked with their issue and I am comfortable helping them I welcome them contacting me to ask.

My name is Annie, and I consider it a privilege to be considered as a prospective agent of change to assist you through this era of your life. I am a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with almost 20 years in the mental health field. Over the years, I have worked with clients experiencing the emergence of first and secondary trauma, violence, mental, emotional, anxiety, depression, and behavioral problems, along with other debilitating mental health disorders at many levels. My experience includes assessing, diagnosing, and treating mental health and behavioral disorders in a State approved private outpatient community mental health center. The center services children, adolescents, families, and adults. Currently, I am transitioning from the role at the community center as clinical director into private practice. I describe my approach to helping clients as integrative. I draw from a variety of modalities to meet the individual therapeutic needs of the individual client. The most frequent integration of modalities includes but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Mindfulness-based Therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT). Based on faith-based beliefs, the named modalities are integrated in the healing process. In summary, I view the therapeutic relationship as a partnership that requires honesty, trust, integrity, respect, and mutual communication. I wholeheartedly believe the integrative approach is embedded in a holistic stance by focusing on the whole person. My intrinsic approach meets the client with empathy, care, concern, and supported hope to become a healthier person for self, others, and society at large. Hopefully, what I have shared will give you some insight as to select the best fit for a therapist. Should you choose me, I look forward to our journey together.

We live in a society that seeks instant gratification, but there is no way to short circuit the path to success. I'm Pauleena, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and we can sets goals and navigate that path together. I use Cognitive Behavioral & Wholistic approaches to help you become the best version of yourself. I'll question your thoughts, provide alternative perspectives, and challenge you to dig deeper to give us both a better picture of what you're thinking and feeling. I completed a Bachelor's of Art degree in Criminal Justice in 2014. The following year, I began working as a substance abuse counselor and knew that therapy/counseling is what I wanted to spend my life doing. I went on to complete Master's Degree in Social Work from Valdosta State University in 2018 and sought professional licensure in 2022. I have spent the past 7 years providing social services to an array of populations including at risk newborns, geriatrics, and adults- in both inpatient & outpatient settings. I have loved every minute of it. The thing about working with a therapist is that we are not "one size fits all". If you have had a bad experience with therapy/a therapist in the past, don't let that skew your experiences moving forward. Give me a chance to work with you on forgiveness, gratitude, self-acceptance, anger management, reducing anxiety, and easing depressive symptoms. A little more about me: I have been married to my high school sweetheart since 2012 and we have 2 elementary school aged girls. In my free time, I enjoy travelling, reading, exploring the outdoors, and spending time with my family. I am also a big foodie-a good meal is the key to my heart! The goal of life is not to merely survive; the goal is to thrive
