Therapists in Gulfport, MS

Hello! My name is Sharon Hatten, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 18 years of experience in working with diverse populations ranging from children to at-risk teens, aging adults and military veterans. I have worked in schools, homes, inpatient and outpatient settings. My goal is to provide effective, compassionate therapy and help clients improve and maintain their quality of life. I am adept at working with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, and stress -related issues. I am also experienced at working with client with mental health issues related to chronic illness.

Hello! My name is Jennifer Haney. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi. I am also licensed in several other states as well. I have over 20 years' experience working with individuals, couples and families with issues such as relationship conflicts, grief, career changes, stress, boundaries and emotional difficulties. It is my goal to help my clients overcome challenges they are facing and feel more supported and hopeful about themselves and the obstacles they are experiencing. I would be happy to support you in your journey!

I believe in the value and efficacy of psychotherapy. It is time for humanity to move beyond the stigma associated with mental health and take advantage of the art and science that is psychotherapy. You do not need to suffer needlessly or alone. There is hope!

I help people work through anxiety and traumatic events they have experienced in life. Some have been in the battlefield of war, many have been in the battlefield of their own home. The very place where safety and nurturing were expected became the source of fear and confusion. Some can't really remember trauma, they have just always known this sense of dread and excessive worry. My mission is to create an accepting and supportive environment that helps you recognize patterns in your life that maintain your distress and find new thoughts and actions that will bring you the freedom to become the best version of yourself.

“Dealing with stuff" is in your DNA. You know how to handle yourself in a crisis. You are a problem solver. Others can count on you when "the stuff hits the fan". But there is another side to you... one, no one REALLY knows. I help high functioning people overcome negative reactions to trauma. Whether it’s an explosive reaction to a minor inconvenience or not understanding your overwhelming sadness, trauma manifests in many ways. Dealing with trauma can feel like pushing a heavy boulder up a hill without a finish line in sight. The good news is that there are effective tools that will propel you towards healing & moving forward.

Throughout my life, I have observed and developed a deep appreciation of human nature - including the struggle we face to maintain uniqueness in a society that bombards us with unrealistic expectations of who we “should” be. Do you find yourself trying to fit into the mold of what you perceive other people (romantic partners, friends, family, employers) expect of you? In our attempt to maintain connections and avoid feelings of rejection, we avoid letting people know who we truly are. We will put on any mask that secures the illusion of being loved or accepted - all the while rejecting and losing connection with our true selves.

You feel that you are at wits end and you have tried everything you could. I am assuming this is your last stop before giving up. I urge you to give it one more go, at LHC.

Second session is developing treatment plan goals and objectives with a Holistic Approach (mind, body and spirt) and starting the path of recovery. Our goal will be to improve your quality of life, self esteem, self worth, self love and self respect.

I believe the bravest thing we can do is embrace our true authentic self. Unfortunately, most of us have difficulty pushing through the negative messages that scream "YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN YOUR WORST CHOICE." We get stuck in our current experience as we wrestle with our fears, difficulty in our relationships and facing the grief of loss, convincing ourselves we do not deserve anything better than we can see right in front of us. I have a passion to help others find their authentic self and explore the barriers that may hinder them from expressing the powerful version of themselves that they long to embrace.

I have enjoyed working for various mental health agencies and have extensive experience in several areas of counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I have worked with individuals, couples, families and groups. I am licensed in MS, NV, CO,SD, TX, LA, AL, GA, VA, AZ and NC.

My name is Nathaniel Mitchell, and I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) based in the Central Mississippi area and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and adolescents and specialize in grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, oppositional behaviors, and attention-deficit disorder. I used various evidence-based interventions according to the specific needs of the client. I am motivated to work with adolescents and adults, who experience anxious and depressive feelings, trauma, stress, unstable mood, communication, and boundaries issues, to live more healthy and productive lives.

Life is a journey and sometimes we struggle with its trials. I offer a holistic approach to counseling and help adults, children, teens, families, and couples.

The four main areas I coach/counsel people in are: depression/anxiety management, anger management, career/business growth, relationship/marital challenges, and personal development. I am dedicated to helping people solve relationship and anger problems associated with disrespect, insecurities, bad attitudes, and guilt through spiritual non-judgmental conversation! Our hidden, underlying beliefs often keep us from experiencing the full richness of life. I use a combination of objective assessment tools, dialogues and cognitive behavioral exercises to help you achieve your dreams.
