Therapists in Savannah, GA

I strive to help individuals learn ways to improve communication, decrease stress, improve coping skills, and to set personal goals in life. I am motivated to help you succeed. My focus is to provide unconditional positive regard for my clients and to provide specialized therapeutic services for each client. My specialties include depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, and neurodiversity, to include ADHD. I am a certified Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS) as well as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP).

My love of counseling stems from an intense desire to act as a catalyst in the process of helping clients achieve their goals. I believe that the counseling relationship is unique in that the counselor is only as successful as the client. The symbiotic relationship between counselor and client should be made up of trust, acceptance, respect, and a desire to mutually work hard to create a more fulfilling life.

I believe my most effective work is with couples for premarital, weddings, and troubled marriages. I have over thirty-five years of experience in this area. Military personnel and couples are also one of my areas with a great deal of experience. Additionally, I have extensive work in grief counseling and addictions. Other areas include issues with aging and diseases as well as issues of spirituality. I believe every person should be treated with dignity, professionalism and according to their own individual needs. I work with all persons to make therapy appropriate and affordable.

I am committed to supporting my clients trust in themselves to make the best choices for their lives. Often old pain, or distorted ideas about who we are get in the way of this trust, so I support the resolution of these issues. Although trained to approach therapy from a Systems perspective, I have trained in numerous other modalities over the 38 years including EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, Family Reconstruction, Hypnosis, and Bodywork (Bioenergetics). All this experience broadens the skills for success in assisting clients to reach their goals for Psychotherapy.

I specialize in counseling teens, tweens, young adults and their families. My clients range in age from nine through adulthood. My clients want a meaningful therapeutic experience with an expert who is engaging and nonjudgmental.

My work with a client begins with building a foundation of trust and rapport. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues in individual counseling.

It can be confusing to understand why you may feel a certain way, especially when feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Oftentimes symptoms of anxiety, trauma, and traits of living with ADHD or Autism can overlap, making it difficult to know how to move forward from the hurt you're experiencing. Feelings of low self-worth and shame creep in and can oftentimes lead to problems in life and relationships. Whether you are seeking relief from ongoing stress, hurt, trauma, anxiety, or you just need extra support through a difficult time, my goal is for you to feel empowered and find the quality of life you are looking for.

You’re finding it harder and hard to get up every day and put one foot in front of the other. Feelings of being lost and confused about what’s happening doesn’t seem to do your situation justice. Feelings of sadness, crying for reasons you can’t identify, lack of motivation, trouble sleeping, and lack of focus and worry are interfering with living your life. Efforts to cover up the result are starting to unravel because people are noticing, maybe even asking questions. Hiding it just ads another seemingly impossible task to everything going on. You feel hopeless about feeling better but want to desperately.

My passion is children. I have dedicated the past 25+ years of my career as a licensed professional, school counselor, and special education teacher (emotional and behavioral disorders) to working with some of the most vulnerable, challenging, and high needs populations. Clients and colleagues describe me as welcoming, caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, engaging, structured, and solution-focused.

Hello! I'm Edward Parks. For more than 20 years I have worked in public mental health clinics and hospitals, honing my skills, in order to help you in an effective and efficient manner. I have addressed every issue from social anxiety to schizophrenia, and now, rather than applying a regimented school of treatment, I have learned to adjust my therapy style to my client's changing needs.

Have you ever felt like your emotions were too big for words? Maybe they come out in swaths of color, or a haunting melody, or a funky dance? Regardless of how you express it I find that most often we express our emotions through the stories we tell about and to ourselves. We often feel our stories have a set path and we're "stuck" in narrative of depression, anxiety, & conflict. Other times we feel disconnected from our stories because we don't recognize the character we're playing. If this sounds like you, I work to help people take control and change their stories. We're all stories in the end, so the ones we tell really matter.

Anxiety and depression are the most common issues bringing clients to therapy, followed by relationship issues. Relationships, in the past or present, are often at the core of how we see ourselves and the world. Healing negative messages from childhood will often help release current depression and anxiety, or at least improve it. I also specialize in couples counseling. It is so difficult to find yourself at odds with the person you once felt so safe and at peace with. Let me help you find that secure place again.

Reaching out for help for yourself or your children takes courage and openness.
