Alcohol Use Therapists in Canton, GA

​I have been in the recovery field for 7 years and have seen a wide range of issues related to addiction. Addiction in itself can be a traumatic event as it causes us to go against our morals. Addiction often contributes to shame and can produce anger, anxiety& depression as well as a wide range of other issues. I have created treatment plans for every issue my clients have presented with as related to addiction. Each client has a different set of issues, needs and goals so I take a person-centered approach to best meet those needs. It's important to identify our strengths and capitalize on these rather than focusing on the problem.

I guide Christians through the pain of their past so they can live in peace and joy in the present. I am a Licensed Pastoral Counselor, Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I am the Director of Good Shepherd Recovery House for men and Ruth House Ministries for women. My husband and I pastor Ministry House (a Recovery-based church) and Celebrate Recovery (Christian 12-Step Program). I have decades of personal experience with depression, anxiety, codependency and eating disorders. I offer an affordable Online Counseling Membership Program at http://PennyHaynes.com.

As a therapist, I am dedicated to helping you achieve your goals and improve the quality of your life.

Since graduating from the University of Georgia and entering the field in 2010, I have gathered broad clinical experience in both the United States and the United Kingdom.

We all need support in dealing with life's challenges, but sometimes just asking for help can feel as overwhelming as the problems for which we are seeking support. The task of finding the right therapist can be difficult. Who can I trust? Will I be heard and understood? Will they work well with my children and/or family? We understand these concerns and work to create a compassionate therapeutic environment to help our clients grow and change.

I believe people were never meant to do life on their own.

I am a mental health counselor working in a private practice setting in Canton, GA. I serve a variety of clients, from children and adolescents to older, more mature clients with lots of "life experiences." I work with some individuals who have had a long history of mental illness and who have been treated in hospital settings for their condition. I also work with people who have never been diagnosed with a mental illness or hospitalized, but who are looking to work on particular issues in their lives and set goals to improve their relationships with others.

Life does not come with a "How To" manual and we ALL could use some guidelines and instructions to understand and overcome life's challenges.

My goal is to offer a safe place to explore your history, understand your emotions, and assess your behavior (actions and reactions).

I am a clinical mental health counselor working in a private practice in Canton. I believe that it takes great strength to reach out and make that first step to seek out guidance and support.

It is not uncommon to feel confused about oneself and ones relationships. My therapeutic approach is geared toward helping individuals improve their relationship with themselves and with others. I work best with individuals who are ready for change. If you struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, feelings of unworthiness, and/or poor relationships...I can help you. If you struggle with addictions such as alcohol, and/or drugs...I can help you. My goal is to support you in developing skills and strategies to help your relationships be healthier and happier, not only with others, but with yourself.

Resiliency...this is the most powerful quality of the human spirit. I work with clients to help them realize and expand upon this quality. I have been in the mental health field since 1998.

My education, clients, and experiences have given me a wealth of understanding that I am thankful to be able to bring into my private practice.
