Transforming your life in therapy is a bold act of self-love! Together, we can work on releasing pain and shame, building strong coping skills, developing true self-compassion, understanding yourself, and challenging limiting beliefs and behaviors. You are the expert of your life, so my role is providing a judgment-free space to figure out how you can shed the burdens that may be holding you back. I love working with neurodivergent and queer clients, and hope you'll bring your authentic, human self to my office! I have experience with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, panic, depression, grief, body image, and relationships.

There is a life worth living, but you are probably feeling stuck right now. Maybe you have tried therapy before and haven't had much luck, or maybe you've been struggling on your own for a long time. I'm here to get you UNSTUCK and moving towards that life worth living! I enjoy working with the following issues: substance, sexual, and other addictions, trauma, anxiety and OCD disorders, depression, chronic issues that haven't responded to traditional talk therapy, and issues that don't fit into a typical "diagnosis." or clinical label. I love helping my clients live by their deepest values and do what's most important to them.

Are You Drowning in Overwhelm and Self-Doubt? Do you wake up already feeling behind? Are you constantly battling anxiety, overwhelm, or a sense that you're just not 'enough'? You're not alone, and more importantly, you don't have to navigate this journey by yourself. You're Here Because You Want More for Yourself You're tired of the disappointment you feel in yourself, the weight of daily tasks that feel like too much, and the sinking feeling that you're not living up to your own expectations, let alone anyone else's. What you need isn't another self-help book that you won't finish or generic advice that doesn't apply.

If you’re looking for something a little more engaging than your average talk therapy, this is it! My passion is providing a safe space for children, teens, and young adults to be seen and heard.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by constant unease, oppressive sadness, or trapped by past experiences, know healing is possible, and you don't have to face it alone.

Hello, my name is Teresa Carter and I go by Terri. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed by the state of Georgia, where I live and provide therapy across the state via telehealth. I primarily work with adults 18 and older experiencing anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, and relationship concerns. The modalities I most rely upon include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy-Mindfulness to help my clients progressively regain their life balance.

My experience has allowed me to work with very diverse populations and utilize multicultural counseling competencies to promote equity and inclusion in my work. I have served clients with a wide range of presenting concerns such as substance use, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, PTSD, and other co-occurring disorders. It is important for me to provide a safe space for my clients to feel comfortable working through issues and concerns that they are experiencing. I believe it is important to support clients in setting goals, learning how to problem solve, and developing coping skills.

You are painfully aware of not feeling seen, heard, or validated by the people you desperately want to feel close to. In social situations, you may get in your own way- stuck in your head with anxiety about judgment or about saying the ‘right’ thing. You have a hard time falling asleep as you replay conversations in your head wondering what went wrong. More than anything else, you want to feel connected – to friends who don’t judge you; to a partner you can feel comfortably vulnerable with; and to yourself in a way that’s kind and compassionate.

Hello, I am Patrice Cox. I have been a licensed professional counselor since 2010.

You’re struggling to find some motivation. Mounting pressure in your work environment. Or maybe you’re looking to assert yourself more in your relationship. Sometimes, life’s stressors can hit us hard, rendering us helpless. When this happens, we don’t always act in our best self interest. But, there are ways that we can increase our mental well-being. I believe that in order to affect change, we have to understand and explore the relationship between our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Clients that I have had the pleasure of working with are hopeful of having the tools to adequately manage life’s next hiccup.

Moving through day-to-day life can sometimes seem almost confounding; like ‘wow, how did life become so difficult!’ Experiencing major life transitions may sometimes be at the forefront; although, often times there is no obvious explanation for the overwhelming feelings that can completely upset life balance and emotional wellbeing. Sometimes the tools that were effective in managing life stressors in the past just no longer seem to work. I invite you to schedule a session with me and look forward to assisting you in working through whatever is challenging or interfering with your being the best you and ‘living your very best life.’

Are you needing some guidance with the teens in your life? Are there life transitions you're going through that are keeping you up at night? Does your mind seem to have "a mind of its own"? I'd love to help you gain clarity, control, skills and anything else that is standing between you and a more peaceful and joyful life.

I believe the past often shows up in the present and I strive to create a space where we can honor your story and help you feel grounded in the here and now. Having lived in several parts of the world and experienced many different cultures, I have found what remains universal are the ways in which people tell stories and make meaning of their experiences. This is a powerful tool in the therapeutic space as well and one I make room for. By focusing on the counseling relationship, my hope is to cultivate a space that is welcoming and free of judgment.

I am dedicated to providing compassionate and culturally sensitive mental health support to individuals facing a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and marital issues. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, active listening, and evidence-based practices. I recognize that everyone's journey is unique, and I tailor my therapeutic interventions to meet their needs.
