Therapists serving clients in Maysville, GA

Hey there and welcome to BetterHelp! Reaching out for help can be one of the most difficult steps you make, and I want to applaud the courage it took you to make that step today! My name is Whitney, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of experience in many different areas. I have worked closely with clients to help them process and overcome trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, attachment, self-esteem and more. I have gained experience in these areas through working with clients in multiple settings to include; community mental health agencies, crisis stabilization facility, college counseling department and work in the school system. I am now in private practice using all the experience gained to continue helping clients on their journey of growth and healing. I received my undergraduate degree at Georgia Southern University and my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree at Savannah State University. I had the opportunity to work with and learn from amazing and eclectic mentors and professors during my studies and internships. Throughout that time I learned a variety of skills and therapy interventions. Staying up to date on the latest research and techniques is an important part of my practice to ensure that I am providing the best evidence based methods possible. I believe that you have all that you need within you to be successful, and live a life full of joy and satisfaction. There are times when our circumstances seem so challenging that no one could possibly understand or help. During those times, we are often in need more than ever of a safe and authentic human connection to overcome some of those difficult moments. Through my experience, I have learned that the relationship and connection that comes from therapy is like no other. It can help or hinder a persons healing and growth. It is my honor to help those who are willing to take that first step and allow me to become apart of their journey. I bring the perspective to my therapy approach that you are the expert in you. You decide your goals and when you are ready to challenge yourself. I will be helping to shine a light on unseen potential, skills, and strengths in your life. No one can tackle your life challenges but you, however you don't have to do it alone. Working together we will use evidence based interventions to move you in the direction you want to go, to reach your desired goals and to live a life full of joy and satisfaction. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Whitney

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.

My career in the social services/mental health field started in 1997. I have had the privilege of working with clients in the geriatric population, children and adolescents, adults, and families. I enjoy assisting others as they work to meet their goals. I am passionate about working with individuals and families. It is my goal as a therapist to assist clients in identifying realistic solutions to everyday challenges and address irrational thought patterns. In therapy we do not make promises or guarantees on particular outcomes; however, as a therapist, I want to see my clients move beyond merely existing to a state of thriving in all aspects of life. I will work with you as you take the steps to create meaning in your life. During our time together, it is my goal to provide you with a safe and non-judgmental environment that promotes growth and positive change. The primary focus is on you.

Hello! Welcome to Betterhelp! My name is Lee Maxwell. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker; practicing in Atlanta, Georgia (US). First off, I would like to applaud your initial steps in reaching out for support. Life can be incredibly challenging for all of us. And, I know that it isn’t always easy to ask for help. I’ve been professionally licensed in the state of Georgia since 2009; with an overall 23 years of experience in behavioral health services; 14 of those years, specifically focused on providing counseling services.

My take on the therapeutic process is simple; treat others as I would want to be treated.

If you choose me as your therapist, here is what you can expect: A down-to-earth, non-judgmental approach, where trust is developed and nurtured as we explore and process thoughts and feelings; while also learning to identify triggers, emotional and behavioral patterns, as well as learning healthy coping tools.
