Dr. Medlock is accepting coaching clients. My goal, as a coach, is to help you move from where you are to where you want to be, helping you get unstuck and change perceptions, habits and behaviors to move forward. My clients seek coaching at a point in their lives where they are asking questions...Why am I not my best self or happy in my life? Why can't I seem to reach my goals? Why can't I figure out what I want? These questions begin a path to change. I use a strengths-based and positive psychology approach to work with adolescent and adult clients in life and career transitions and those straggling with ADHD/ADD/EF issues.

Anxiety and perfectionism have you feeling like you can't relax. No one knows the stress you carry because you seem to have it all together. Being driven has led to you being overworked and feeling like you will never be enough. Any time it feels like life is about to fall apart, you have a panic attack. I am Jeanetta Garrison, a compassionate therapist who helps high achievers quiet their inner critic. I will help you break things down, organize the jumbled thoughts, and really understand the anxiety so you can release it and no longer be walled off from the world because of fear.

Counseling should be a safe and judgment-free place for individuals to voice their concerns. In a world where we are constantly judged, I feel that counseling provides a unique place to allow for personal understanding and growth while reflecting on what drives our concerns, emotions, and behaviors. The counseling journey should be a joint partnership to help the client realize their own potential for growth. I use a variety of therapeutic interventions that are centered around each individual.
