 Hello! Thank you for visiting my Home Page!


My professional background:

The human condition has always been a deep interest of mine, so naturally, I became a psychotherapist. I have been in the field of mental health and psychotherapy since earning my Master's degree in Community Counseling from Georgia State University in 1986. My Professional Counselor license, number 1731, was first earned in 1991. Extensive hospital, clinic and private practice work has given me a wide range of training and experience. I have received specialized trainings in cognitive behavioral therapy, experiential psychology, trauma informed therapy, grief therapy, dual diagnosis disorders, and much more. This learning has helped me to help many hundreds of people for well over 30 years.


I am a long-standing member of the National Board of Certified Counselors and the Licensed Professional Counselors Association of Georgia, with certification as a professional counselor supervisor.


My therapeutic philosophy:

A belief I hold dear is that we can learn to become more mentally, emotionally, socially, and spiritually healthy and whole, regardless of past or present circumstances.  My aim is to use whatever therapeutic modalities fit the individual’s needs to empower them to work through barriers to happiness and health; to connect with their inner strengths and become Whole.


Counseling can help with alleviating the symptoms of:

Stress (I like helping people improve self-care and stress management!)

Anxiety and panic attacks

Depression

Grief and loss

Co-dependency issues

Relationship Issues

Trauma, especially complex trauma

Recovery maintenance to assist with sobriety.

 In Memoriam: 


Alexis Whalen was a founding member of Great Day.  Her energy, enthusiasm and ready laughter were always contagious. Without her vision and motivation there would be no Great Day.  As a skilled and committed licensed clinical counselor, Ms. Whalen made a positive impact with her loving energy on the many adults, children, adolescents and their families with whom she worked and on those she came in contact with. She passed away too soon at the age of 42, after a long illness, on January 1, 2009, and leaves behind her husband and young children, Oscar and Sophie.  She is loved and sorely missed.

What is Counseling?

Why People go to Counseling

Why People go to Counseling

 Mental health counseling, also known as psychotherapy, is a shared  effort between the counselor and the individual, family or couple.   Professional counselors help consumers: 

  • Identify goals and solutions to problems which cause emotional upset or stress 
  • Seek to improve communication, interaction, and coping skills
  • Strengthen self-awareness, self-esteem and self-empowerment
  • Promote behavior change and optimal mental and emotional health

Why People go to Counseling

People may see a counselor to resolve issues that result from a  particular situation, such as the death of a loved one, divorce of  parents, or the loss of a job. Other times, people may need to seek  counseling to deal with issues that have been on-going problems, such as  continued sadness or depression, substance abuse, anger, or feelings of  being overwhelmed and anxious. Whatever the reason, counseling can help  a person deal with their feelings and resolve the problems causing  emotional pain.  

ADHD

Why People go to Counseling

Anxiety

ADHD - Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is one of the most  common childhood brain disorders and can continue through adolescence  and adulthood. 

Symptoms include difficulty staying focused and  paying attention, difficulty controlling behavior, and hyperactivity  (over-activity). These symptoms can make it difficult for a child with  ADHD to succeed in school, get along with other children or adults, or  finish tasks at home.

Anxiety

Bipolar Disorder

Anxiety

 Anxiety is a reaction to stress and can actually be beneficial in some  situations. For some people, however, anxiety can become excessive. A  person with anxiety disorder may have difficulty controlling it and the  continued anxiety may negatively affect their day-to-day living. Anxiety  disorders include post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive  disorder, and panic disorder to name a few. Anxiety disorders are among  the most common mental disorders experienced by Americans. 

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder — sometimes called manic-depressive disorder — is  associated with mood swings that range from the lows of depression to  the highs of mania.

  • When you become depressed, you may feel sad or hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most activities. 
  • When your mood shifts in the other direction, you may feel euphoric and full of energy. 
  • Mood shifts may occur only a few times a year, or as often as several times a day. 
  • In some cases, bipolar disorder causes signs of depression and mania at the same time.

Depression

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar Disorder

Depression is more than just having “bad day” or a normal response to  grief or loss. Depression is a mood disorder that affects the individual  as well as families and friends. A severe form called Major Depression  frequently goes unrecognized and untreated and may lead to impaired  interpersonal relationships at work and at home, as well as tragic  consequences such as suicide. 

This disorder is still misunderstood as a sign of weakness, rather than  being recognized as an illness. It is diagnosed when at least five of  the symptoms below are present continuously for more than two weeks:
