“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” - C. S. Lewis Welcome! I’m Kendrah DeGruy, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Georgia. I’m passionate about helping individuals and couples—whether engaged, newlywed, or seasoned—navigate the complexities of marriage. Whether you’re preparing for a lifelong commitment, adjusting to newlywed life, or working to rebuild your relationship, I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore challenges and deepen connection. Together, we focus on strengthening communication, establishing boundaries that build trust, and restoring intimacy. My counseling style is rooted in warmth, positivity, and authenticity. I take an integrative, strengths-based approach to guide clients through their healing and growth. Collaboration is at the heart of my work. By blending Solution-Focused strategies with Mindfulness interventions, I empower clients to uncover their strengths and create practical, lasting solutions. Investing in yourself and your relationships is one of the most meaningful commitments you can make—and I would be honored to walk alongside you on this journey.

In establishing a therapeutic relationship between you and myself is to begin with an inviting warm welcome and thank you to you by allowing this journey of engagement between us. All relationships take risks and I am honored to provide a safe space for open dialogue between us. I combine many therapeutic modalities (i.e.,CBT, DBT, to develop your treatment plan by using a strengths-based approach to empower goals tailored to your needs and areas of concern. I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, which is an evidenced-based psychotherapy designed to help people with emotional dysregulation to treat mood disorders, suicidal ideation, and for change in behavioral patterns such as self-harm and substance abuse. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is a psycho-social intervention that aims to improve your mental health by focusing on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortion and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems. I use Solution Focused Therapy, is an evidence-based therapeutic approach which incorporates positive psychological practices, principles, and outcomes that helps people change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on their problems. SFT is most commonly known to be a friendly, hope-eliciting, future- orientated vehicle for developing, achieving, motivating and sustaining a desired behavioral change. I use Narrative Therapy, which is a form of psychotherapy that seeks to help people identify their values and skills and knowledge they have to live these values, so they can effectively confront the problems they face in a safe manner. This may also provide space to reflect on historical trauma and family values as it relates to the individual and their goals. My goal is to establish a connection, whereby both you and I will partner, addressing that each person is an individual and worthy of a safe space to heal within themselves and within their relationships.

Hi! Welcome to my page. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC in Georgia and South Carolina) & Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC nationally); with over a decade and a half of experience in helping people to move forward. Are you stressed, depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or dissatisfied with your life? Are you experiencing a situation that you think no one will understand? Perhaps your situation is rare and you are not certain if what you are experiencing is real? Are you ready for help that is actually helpful? Is guilt or shame stopping you from getting to the life you want? Where ever you are and whatever you are going through, I am ready to help you figure out the first or next steps. Are you ready to explore options, make choices and start living a better life? Sometimes when we try to change it impacts the system around us, sometimes leading to outcomes we did not necessarily intend, but have no control over. I understand that no two people are the same and that every individual is to be respected as unique with very different feelings, actions, thoughts, experiences, and history. My holistic approach to treatment is tailored to you, an individual. Whether you only need a safe, non-judgmental environment in which to grow and find your own way, or you need help to deal with long term suffering, or someone to make the journey through some dark place, then I am waiting to go with you. I have a very open, honest, engaging style that incorporates humor, metaphor and encouragement into the therapeutic process, a process that is self-directed and empowering for you my client. If I am wrong about any of this please let me know. I utilize various theoretical approaches including: person-centered, humanistic, existential, Adlerian, brief psycho-dynamic, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT); often framed in a skilled helper model. I have years of experience working with both disabilities (any type) and clinical mental health. I likewise specialized in technology assisted counseling, I have a proven record of counseling results including through the delivery of services via text based communication, and have utilized technology as an adjunct to face to face counseling during most of my professional career. I am waiting to begin where you are and start on any of these: Personal growth / development Anxiety / Depression Adjustment or re-adjustment Couple / parent concerns Anger management Interpersonal / social skills Disability (including psychiatric / invisible disabilities) Veterans Acute stress, trauma, post trauma (PTSD) Guilt / shame Bereavement / complex grief And more! Education: I earned my Bachelor's degrees, a BA in psychology and a BS in Chemistry from Arkansas Tech University, While working my way through school, I worked with persons with disabilities and also with persons seeking recovery from addictions. I earned my Master's degree in Counseling from the University of Arkansas in Little Rock. While pursuing my Master's I worked for the division of services for the blind, helping persons with visual impairment and blindness. I believe in a holistic approach to health and wellness. Experience: I have over a decade and a half of counseling experiences (rehabilitation and clinical mental health) including many referrals from community agencies in situations where the combination of factors was too varied for the system to address. In addition to my education and typical work experiences, I am also a combat veteran who served as a medic in Operation Iraqi Freedom, and have extensive training in helping with trauma, both mental/emotional and physical. I have a solid record of encouraging and challenging people to do the hard work needed to reach successful outcomes. I became interested in technology assisted counseling while working with persons who relied upon assistive-technology for face to face and social interaction, and yet due to the limitations of the portable technology and complexity of synchronous communication I quickly realized that asynchronous, text based communication was the only feasible solution for this person to ever benefit from counseling. Freddy L. Honeycutt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC).

Hey there! I’m Marcia — a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), long-time wellness educator, and “movement-meets-mindset” practitioner with over two decades of experience supporting adults through stress, life transitions, workplace stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, and the everyday challenges that make it hard to take care of yourself. I’ve worked in a wide range of settings — crisis hotlines, substance abuse, career planning, military units and federal agencies, private practice, higher education and wellness facilitation — and I bring a calm, practical, whole-person approach to every session. Although I my time on BetterHelp is limited, I bring years of clinical work, real-world experience, and mind–body wellness expertise to this space. For the last decade, I’ve also taught fitness, movement, and stress-regulation practices, which gives me a unique perspective on how the body and mind interact when we’re overwhelmed or stretched too thin. I offer short-term therapeutic consults for adults who are stable but overwhelmed, tired of “pushing through,” or struggling to keep up with their own self-care. We won’t do long-term therapy or crisis work here — instead, we’ll focus on practical insight, emotional skills, and small shifts that help you feel more steady, centered, and in control. Who I Work Best With I’m a strong fit for adults who are doing “okay” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, unbalanced, or disconnected on the inside. You’re managing life, but the stress is catching up. You want insight, grounding, and small-but-powerful shifts that help you feel more steady and more like yourself. You’re a great fit if you are: • High-functioning but exhausted or unfocused • Struggling to maintain healthy routines • Navigating busy schedules, burnout, or life transitions • Looking for clarity, grounding, and realistic strategies • Are emotionally stable enough for collaborative, solution-oriented work I may not be the right provider if you are in acute distress, navigating trauma triggers, managing panic attacks, experiencing significant depressive episodes, or need crisis intervention or intensive therapeutic care. I do not offer long-term psychotherapy, emergency intervention, or deep therapeutic work on BetterHelp. What to Expect in Sessions Our sessions are focused, collaborative, and supportive. We’ll start with what’s showing up in your life right now, explore the emotional and physical patterns around it, and talk through practical tools to help you feel more grounded and capable moving forward. You can expect thoughtful questions, real talk, and an approach that honors both your lived experiences and your desire to feel better. If you’re ready for straightforward insight, strategies that make sense, and support that respects your time and your goals — I’m here. Let’s start creating a calmer, stronger foundation for your well-being.
