Therapists in Bethlehem, GA

Hello, let me be the first to tell you that seeking therapy is a great way to make big changes in your life. I would absolutely love to assist you with making significant changes. You have already taken one step...just keep walking. For over ten years, I have been helping others explore and improve how they relate to the important and necessary people in life. I specialize in relationships and really enjoy couple counseling. I have worked with adult clients on issues related to depression, anxiety, grief and life transitions. I choose from cognitive behavioral, narrative, and family systems interventions to personalize my interventions for clients needs. I also provide psychoeducation by simplifying classroom theories and concepts. After learning something new, clients can then decide how they want to change their own lives. As a married mother of three young children, I stay pretty busy during the day homeschooling. However, I look forward to working online with my clients in the evenings. I love online counseling because of the flexibility it allows me to care for my family while doing what I love which is helping others. My clients report therapy helped them think differently about life. As a result, they feel differently and behave differently. Is that something you want...A difference? If so, let's get started.

I have a master’s degree in counseling from Alabama State University and 15 years of counseling experience. To bolster my counseling skills, I got licensed as a Professional Counselor in Georgia and certified in Anger Management Treatment, Clinical Trauma, Professional Counselor Supervision, School Counseling (Georgia, K-12), and Telemental Health. Continuing education is a must so that I stay well-informed and practice counseling professionally, proficiently, and ethically. My life and professional experiences allowed me to build relationships with people from various backgrounds. I served over four years in the U.S. Army, honorably discharged, and then started working as a counselor for the Department of Juvenile Justice in Georgia. After six and a half years with the Department of Juvenile Justice, I have worked as a school counselor and started a counseling practice. I was born to be a counselor. I love listening and helping others to use their unique strength(s) or gift(s) to face life challenges and live productive lives. Active listening, unconditional positive regard, empathy, and genuineness are essentials in my work with clients. My preferred therapeutic approach is person/client-centered therapy. My goals are to place myself into the individuals’ world, be nonjudgmental, ethical, build rapport and create positive therapeutic relationships. I want my clients to feel comfortable, accepted, open, and free to talk about any experience without reservation. I believe in self-disclosure to humanize the counseling experiences and share common life events for client growth. We are in this together.

EMDR Therapist Hello! My name is Cheryl and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the helping profession. I am also an ACE Certified Health Coach. The modality of therapy that I use is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is a specialized, structured form of therapy that helps provide relief from trauma and difficult past situations that remain unresolved. EMDR therapy has significant scientific evidence to prove its effectiveness. A good candidate for this therapy is one who commits to weekly sessions, is not actively abusing any drugs or alcohol, and is not experiencing suicidal thoughts or have a history of suicide attempts. (Please note that those who do CAN benefit from EMDR in face-to-face sessions not virtual). I consider myself to be open, honest, and non-judgmental and believe that a sense of humor is an essential component of dealing with life’s challenges (and like to sprinkle a little of this into sessions every now and then!) I’m originally from Upstate New York and have lived in the Southeast the past 19 years. I have a Master’s Degree in Counseling from the State University of New York at Oneonta and have also received advanced training in health coaching, mindfulness, and EMDR I look forward to working with you!
