Empowering People and Inspiring Hope This phrase best describes my method and approach that I take in my counseling practice. As a therapist, I am rewarded each day with challenges and an internal feeling of gratitude to be able to inspire hope, provide a renewed purpose and a greater sense of self in their personal journey of life. The life changing moment is when that person discovers their own inner strengths, faith and resiliency to thrive in the midst of their struggle. This promotes a sense of hope and strength which empowers the person to find the tools to work though or overcome a problematic situation. My practice would be most suitable for those struggling with: Low self-esteem Stress Anxiety Feeling overwhelmed Depressed Phase of life issues, Spiritual faith challenges If you’re seeking to rebuild your inner strength, sense of confidence and cultivate the life you’ve always wanted, then I would love to be given the opportunity to assist you towards your goals. My therapeutic technique is Person centered and Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Fusing together my spiritual beliefs, faith, professional skills, personal experience and passion describes my method and practice with the clients that I serve. I am not a spiritual counselor but my faith and counseling training has enabled me to be an effective counselor to help people whether they are in or out of a church or religion. I have worked in the field of mental health for over 25 years in a community setting with various populations. I have dedicated much of my professional practice and community work to helping others to fulfill their dream, achieve their goals and improve the overall welfare of individuals, families and the community as a whole. I appreciate the opportunity to partner with you and assist you in your life's journey!

Oliver Harper
Hi, my name is Oliver Harper and I possess a wide range of clinical experiences working within residential settings for adolescents; short term acute care facilities as a clinician and consultant with adults and adolescents; worked in various communities of Metro Atlanta providing in-home therapy and maintained a private practice for 15 years. I graduated with an MS in Professional Counseling from Georgia State University; along with attending Seminary in Atlanta and obtained graduate degrees in Leadership and Apologetics. I also attended business school and worked on Wall Street and have undergraduate and graduate degrees in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. I have specialized and certificate training in REBT, Adlerian Psychology, DBT, and Parenting. I primarily use Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy as my primary treatment modality as it is very effective in reducing stress and anxiety while providing pragmatic tools for effective living. Over my professional, life I have had significant exposure to working with traumatized clients and have learnt interventions to address its impact. I have authored two books. I also incorporate Stoic philosophy as a therapeutic intervention in the service of clients. My therapeutic skill set provides a compassionate inquiry into the lives of individuals challenged with childhood shadows induced by family dysfunction, trauma, alcoholism, anxiety, perfection tendencies, and an overwhelming need for approval and validation. My clinical training will facilitate clients to connect the dots between then and now and integrate the fragmentation at the root of their maladaptive patterns. I am a lifelong learner and have dedicated my life to being of service;I believe in the innate capacity of individuals and their potential to be their own rescue with guidance and to know that there is something distinct, unique, and specific about each of us and my clinical task is to guide each individual to share that belief. The therapeutic relationship is a sacred trust and it is a privilege to be a witness to the inner world of others and to support them in their discovery, recovery, and integration of their best self. Allow me to journey with you and I promise to be present with you all the way to a better version of yourself by strengthening your identity capital.
