Drug & Alcohol Counselor, CADC-II
Online Only
My ideal client is a high-achieving professional who’s outwardly successful but inwardly exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck. They’ve tried therapy, coaching, and self-help—but old patterns like procrastination, perfectionism, and burnout keep returning. They want peace of mind, emotional clarity, and a sustainable way to grow without self-sabotage. More than a quick fix, they seek deep change—something personalized, practical, and powerful. They’re ready to feel whole, not just functional.

Jennifer Orr
Counselor
Valdosta, GA 31605
Let's be honest; life is hard sometimes! We don't always have the answers or the tools we would like to have for every scenario we encounter. That's where counseling can help bridge the gap between who we have been and who we would like to be. I would love a chance to talk to you more and see how I can help!

Kiwana Kiser
Pre-Licensed Professional, MSW
Valdosta, GA 31602
Are you carrying the weight of grief, depression, or trauma? Do you feel as if you have to put on a mask just to get through the day? You continue to juggle the roles of being a parent, spouse, employee, and everything in between; which leaves you feeling stretched thin and emotionally drained. You often feel as if you need a release or a lifeline to maintain a peace of mind. If any of this applies to you, “guess what,” it’s okay to not be okay.

Valdosta, GA 31601
I enjoy working with a wide range of client populations and the challenges faced by each. When asked "what kind of clients" I see in my practice, my answer is always the same, that "I see normal people with normal problems." My goal is to provide a safe, therapeutic environment where one can share their innermost struggles and challenges without feeling judged or criticized, since it is my philosophy that we are all transforming and evolving from each experience or trial that we face. It is also my passion to empower each client with education, confidence and self-awareness.
