Hello! My name is Karyl, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Georgia. I recognize the courage it takes to reach out for help with personal matters. It would be my privilege to walk with you as you navigate through life's challenges. I have experience working with adults struggling with various issues such as depression, anxiety, obsessions/compulsions, post-traumatic stress, substance abuse, mania, hoarding, and dissociation related to traumatic events. I have worked with people of various backgrounds, sexual orientations, genders, religions, and cultures. I care about what is difficult in your life and want to help with finding relief. My counseling style is warm, attentive and non-judgmental. I work from a psychodynamic perspective which means I understand how past and current stressors can affect responses to stressful situations. I also utilize cognitive therapy which is a way to discover how thoughts affect feelings and behaviors. I have experience working with those struggling with past trauma and abuse and am trauma informed in my counseling. I would love working with you and look forward to meeting you.

Greetings, You have come to the place in your journey of life to recognize that there are potentially other ways to work through situations/problems/issues/circumstances. You made the decision to seek assistance by reaching out. I am so glad you did. 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 over 15 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.
