Oppositional Defiance (ODD) Therapists in Jefferson, GA

Nature reveals to us a beautiful part of ourselves we could not find anywhere else.--Kristin Butler. This statement supports the unique counseling experience of Hawk's Nest Farm. The counseling cottage is nestled on 11.25 acres where my family and I farm cattle, chickens, and goats. My hope is to offer a unique experience to those who would benefit from the healing of nature. I look forward to meeting my clients where they are and helping them set realistic, attainable goals to improve the way they feel.

I primarily focus on behavioral change through eliminating negative thinking and behavior. I approach therapy as a positive experience where healing and personal growth can occur.

Hello and welcome! I'm passionate about helping children and their families restore and rebuild the peace they’ve lost in their lives. I believe humans are designed to be intimately connected with others in loving and secure relationships. Therefore, when that connection and safety becomes absent or broken due to the difficulties of “life,” emotional pain and behavioral issues often arise that are difficult to navigate alone. My focus is on providing individuals (ages 3-25) with the tools they need to overcome their inner struggles, navigate the challenges of life, and develop resiliency for their future.

Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile. Finding the right counselor that fits your needs is an important part of the therapeutic journey. My first goal as a counselor is to build rapport in the first few sessions. Trusting your counselor is important to making progress in each session. I'm compassionate, empathetic, and open-minded. Each client is unique in their own way and it is important that I tailor each client to the appropriate therapeutic modality.

For me, psychotherapy begins with trust. My approach is collaborative and empathic. I have nine years’ experience in working with children, adolescents, and their families. I love helping children and their families find their self-worth and expressing their true feelings in ways that they can understand one another. I utilize my training and experience in child development studies to help children/adolescents and guardians understand each other in appropriate ways. I keep in mind that each child and family is unique, seeking to understand without judgement.

Throughout my 25 years as a therapist, I have focused on issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, self harm, suicidal thoughts, and oppositional/defiance. Many of my clients also describe themselves as Neurodivergent. No matter what the issues may be, I find that people often start therapy because they feel stuck and are seeking ways to move forward. We work together to develop concrete goals such as making a new friend or just getting out of bed everyday. Other clients in my practice are searching for a safe place to work through their pain. Whatever your starting place, you are welcome here.
