Life is always about change. Counseling is about navigating change. Its about understanding, caring and moving toward healing. Its about the relationship between my clients and myself. My commitment is to treat the whole person and to facilitate healing and growth. I offer a direct, compassionate and realistic approach to these goals while providing each of my clients with the tools to navigate the difficult issues of life. YOUR needs are my priority. My goal is to offer experience and expertise to those who struggle with anxiety, depression, behavioral and relational/marital issues as well as behavioral and academic assessment.

Asking for help is very difficult but necessary for change and growth. My goal is to work with you so that you can achieve the quality of life that you desire and deserve. I support clients to resolve issues that are effecting their emotional, mental and physical well being. My areas of expertise include trauma, loss/grief, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, abuse, relationship issues, separation/divorce, personal growth, co-dependency and other general issues.

I have a unique perspective from my diverse background as an entrepreneur, mother of two, step-mother of two, and as a leader in two nationwide corporations. I enjoy working with adolescents and their families and have worked in both outplacement and intensive inpatient settings. I work with couples and individuals in crisis or having difficulty with life transitions. I understand the plight of single moms and challenges of parenthood and blended families. I am under the supervision of Adam Glendye, LPC, LMFT.

Today's teens face different types of stressors than those to which we adults were exposed. Our culture, with its social media and overly committed lifestyle of busyness, sets our young people up for increased anxiety, depression, and a lack of genuine understanding of who they are. I am passionate about helping young people live life in wholeness. I see ages nine and up. My areas of specialty are ADHD, anxiety, depression, self-harming behaviors, stress management, school-related issues, and family transitions. I'm trained in EMDR, a therapy technique for those who've experienced trauma.

As a pediatric neuropsychologist, I am trained to evaluate your child's cognitive, adaptive, and behavioral functioning. I have a broad range of experience and have worked with children and adolescents with a variety of medical, developmental, and behavioral/emotional diagnoses. My areas of expertise include assessment (i.e., neuropsychological, developmental, behavioral, concussion evaluations), therapy (i.e., improve adaptive, study, and social skills and decrease behavioral concerns), and parent training and support.

I partner with clients to address life stressors including, but not limited to, abandonment, depression, anxiety, and trauma, as well as couples who may be experiencing a crossroads in their relationship. I also work with clients who are NOT struggling or in crisis , rather, they are looking to improve upon their self-confidence, prepare for a career change or simply grow and thrive in their personal and/or professional lives.

Alcohol. Tricky stuff. We go years and years and think we have it under control and before we know it we are over the cliff - absent a parachute. Drugs aren't much different... just faster and illegal. Sometimes our problems increase gradually until we turn around one day and think "done with this... not living this way anymore." Or it is that one nasty event you didn't even see coming: the accident and DUI, the separation-causing fight, the job loss. Embarrassment goes up; self-esteem goes down. The hole seems deep and hopeless. And still the drug, the drink keeps calling you back. Fear and bewilderment rule the day.

I have a passion for working with individuals and guiding the therapeutic healing process. My area of focus is adverse life events and trauma. At the core, trauma overwhelms our coping abilities and activates our fight, flight, or freeze response usually resulting in feeling hopeless and helplessness. When this system is activated it creates an imbalance in our daily functioning as a result of doing everything we can to avoid that feeling! We learn to cope with things the best we can and sometimes the way we cope becomes ineffective as well as destructive. It affects our outlook, relationships, health, interactions with others.

Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience. I received my Bachelors of Arts degree from Clark Atlanta University and my Masters of Science degree from Abilene Christian University. My experience is derived from working in an all-male maximum-security prison, my position as a school counselor to provide counseling to children in need of temporary, situational, and/or ongoing emotional challenges, my years acting as a mobile crisis assessor, and my role as supervisor for a state-wide crisis hotline. Additionally, I worked as a Military Family Life Counselor for 9 years overseas in Europe and stateside.

Imagine if you didn't have to feel like you're going around and around the same issues with your partner or family. Imagine if you had the friendship and joy that you started out with in your relationships. It doesn't have to be a constant fight or power struggle and doesn't have to be "just okay.". It can be different. I help people find their way back to the people they love most. My clients tell me they're feeling close connected, and able to move forward in their lives after our work together.

Tissues included in the price of therapy! I even provide 60-grit sandpaper for tough guys who don't cry. My office may be the one place where you can feel totally safe...be yourself...maybe even cry a little. Of course, you may not even know who 'you' really is. You spend your limited emotional energy trying to "look okay"...to show the world you're fine even though you aren't. This leaves little energy for just being you. You're overwhelmed...just plain exhausted. The key to being the real you is in dropping the armor. I can help you do just that! I can help you reconnect to the awesomeness that's hidden inside.

I am passionate about helping people get unstuck, live out of their best self, and enjoy a life of freedom and fulfillment. I intuitively recognize the barriers that prevent my clients from living in true freedom, and I guide them in awakening to their true desires, transforming their life, and stepping into their fullest potential. Further, I help couples and families explore and resolve difficult circumstances, dynamics, and emotions so they thrive in deeply connected, satisfying relationships. My clients achieve mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth and wellness, so they are free to soar in their best life.

“I deserve better!” You tell yourself this daily, but somehow you continue to do things that leave you feeling stuck & inadequate. Daily you become more unmotivated & hopeless. Well, it is not by chance that you stopped at my profile. I believe that everyone deserves to live a meaningful life, but that many do not experience this life because they are either immobilized by their fears, lack direction/clarity about their purpose or they get distracted & lose focus. You already have the inner resources & strengths needed to transform your life & I am committed to supporting & empowering you to start your journey towards wellness

My passion is helping people of all ages understand their exceptionalities, finding their strengths, as well as understanding their disability. Most importantly, to also develop and expand their many abilities. Prior to joining The Life Change Group as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I was the Counselor for the Exceptional Children's Services in the Fayette County Schools. I will help my clients navigate the challenges they may face in school, college and work settings. With my extensive knowledge of Education Law and Special Needs experience, I have a clear understanding on how to help parents, children, adolescents, and young adults.

The key to successful therapy? BE HONEST. Due to huge suicide rates in the Army, when a Soldier returns from combat, they're asked a series of questions. Many times they aren't open. I know, because I did it! I knew that if I was honest, I could slow down the process on reuniting with my family. Later, when I had my own "train wreck", I was honest with my own psychologist. Guess what? Therapy worked. I got better because I began to be honest. One main reason therapy doesn't work is due to a lack of honesty. Reasons we come? Being forced by someone to go to therapy, truly wanting help but being guarded, "checking a block", etc.

I enjoy working with those clients who recognize that change can happen and is good. I enjoy working with individuals, families, couples and groups. Those who recognize that change depends on them, individually and collectively. I do not cause change but only facilitate the process. As we are all in the process of living and life can sometimes be very difficult, we can learn and change everyday. I can help you become the person you want to be, just as the chrysalis wants and does become a beautiful butterfly.
