Kelly Whitmire
Hello, I am a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia (LCSW) and I have been working in the counseling field since 2004. I have experience working with children, parents and families in many different settings. My work has included guiding families through issues related to neglect and abuse, foster care and adoption, blended families and communication issues. I have worked with parents who are struggling with stresses related to parenting children and teens. In addition, I love assisting women who are struggling with the pressures of motherhood to find peace and confidence in that role. Another one of my heartfelt passions involves supporting young adults navigating the intricate challenges of the adult world. In today's fast-paced environment, finding one's path can be an overwhelming journey. I derive immense fulfillment from aiding individuals in navigating this complexity, assisting them in managing stress, and collaboratively devising a personalized roadmap towards a fulfilling life. I mostly tend to draw from a client centered modality when in a therapeutic relationship with my clients. This means that I make consistent efforts to meet each client "where they are" and to allow a space where each client can feel heard and that their feelings are valued. I also pull from other modalities to guide my work, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. I enjoy and feel honored to be a part of someone’s personal journey towards growth and peace. I provide a non-judgment, criticism free environment where my clients can feel safe to share their feelings and develop a plan to move forward to a place of peace and comfort. I look forward to working with you!

Whitley Greene
Confidence + Clarity + Comunication = THRIVING (Creating Your Life Avatar) What is keeping you from “your” success? Are you disappointed with the results of some life choices, debilitated by emotional pain, under or over-challenged at work, lacking motivation, unable to forgive yourself or others, indecisive, financially insecure……..fear not, there is a way out of personal bondage and into personal freedom. My name is Whitley Greene, Licensed Professional Counselor for twenty-five years and Board Certified Coach for five years, serving individuals and families in private practice, behavior health hospitals, churches, schools, and organizations toward goal achievement and healthy living. I have earned a Specialist (Ed.S.), and four Master (MS) degrees in the fields of Counseling and Education Leadership. I am certified in "Psychology of the Web & Internet Addictions" and "Applied Positive Psychology: Finding Mastery and Flourishing" How can I help YOU? My philosophy regarding personal success is to guide you toward clarifying your wants, needs and desires leading to PURPOSE. When you identify what is important, strengthen your confidence, and communicate assertively you will thrive while creating your Life Avatar (who you want to be in the world). My personality and style as a counselor/coach are to be a compassionate listener, intuitive and thought-provoking questioner, and inspirational goal-setter, with clients experiencing enjoyable intrinsic and extrinsic rewards for their hard work. Counseling is only as successful as you determine it will be. The process of growing from emotional pain, navigating obstacles on the path to success, enriching relationships, altering habits, or welcoming forgiveness into your life, all takes energy, time, and effort. As we journey down the path of success together, we will add a little humor, perhaps a few tears, and celebrate achievements along the way. As an accomplished athlete, world traveler, lifelong learner, enthusiastic community volunteer, sensible financial investor, and non-denominational Christian, I would be delighted to partner with you to enhance the joy and success in your life. Once I have the opportunity to know your unique personality, how you wish to be encouraged with your goals, and genuine motivation, we can get to work on clearing the way for your elevated joy and happiness. I prefer to use video or telephone for our sessions and e-mail/text for communication between sessions. Preferred Therapeutic Modalities: Cognitive Behavior Therapy Mindfulness Therapy Narrative Therapy Solution-Focused Therapy Jungian Therapy
