I believe that we are all resilient to overcome difficult circumstances. Sometimes we need help in reclaiming those skills and finding new understanding to function in our environment. I am grateful to work with children,adolescents, and adults with their life challenges. I am dedicated to help you feel empowered by applying new skills . We will work together to discover a meaningful belonging in your environment; overcome feelings of inferiority; and learn new strategies that benefit you.

As a counselor, I believe that working through issues such as depression, anxiety, co-dependency, addictions... in present time is very important, along with examining wounds from childhood that are barriers to moving forward. Through this work, healing can occur with understanding, self-compassion, authenticity, and positive change. Most people come to therapy related to feelings based on fear or pain. I provide a warm and compassionate place that allows my clients to openly share and have a voice that is respected and heard. I look forward to hearing your story.

I am licensed in Georgia and Florida of experience working as a social worker and therapist.

Hello, my name is Kristen Sessoms. I have a heart for helping those who feel unheard, lost, helpless, and alone. I assist individuals who have suffered from various degrees of trauma. My ultimate goal is to provide a safe open space to process and release. Any individual who needs assistance finding their voice can have comfort in the fact that I genuinely desire to see all of my clients break every chain that has kept them bounded. By providing tangible interventions that teach emotional regulation, emotional awareness, and distress tolerance my clients will take something constructive away every session.

Life and our experiences change us, and those experiences alter who we are. Let’s work together to find a pathway back to a better version of yourself. With my expertise working with depression, anxiety, codependency issues, interpersonal conflict, bipolar disorder, and my favorite, grief, we will collaborate to develop realistic coping skills that you can apply to your every day life.

Kids are AWESOME! But they struggle. That’s when they act out, or act in. Maybe you’ve been seeing it for years. Or they’re angry, frustrated, or disobedient all of a sudden. And if they’re harming themselves, you’re doubly scared. You can’t help but wonder what’s behind it all. You might be thinking that your child’s behavior is a reflection of your parenting. But your child’s fears and anxieties can come from any number of places: media, school experiences, traumatic events, family issues. It can even be inherited and we all know we can’t control our genes.

I’m so glad you are here! My name is Maggy and I’m a clinical social worker licensed in Georgia and South Carolina. I am currently accepting new teen and adult clients in person or online. In my practice, I mainly work with adopted individuals navigating identity, search and reunion, adoptive/biological family relations, attachment issues and other adoption-specific challenges. I also work with individuals wanting to process traumatic experiences through the use of EMDR, those navigating family of origin issues, life stressors and anxiety.

My purpose is to create a safe nonjudgemental space for people that struggle with sadness or depression, and or feel overwhelmed with stress or anxiety. I am a combat veteran and understand the challenges associated with readjustment to civilian life, and the lasting impact combat can have on an individual and family.

I have worked in the mental health field for a long time now. I have a pending addictions CACII specialty. I have worked with ED clients for a year. I am very confident in my CBT skills and solution focused techniques.

At its best, therapy should be a partnership. I am dedicated to creating a therapeutic environment focused on your needs and goals. I believe anyone can benefit from therapy at some point in their lives and have worked with clients from a large range of life stages, from teenagers looking to find their path to elders seeking meaning and fulfillment in retirement.

When you're hurting, you want to know that you can feel better. When you're sad and discouraged, you want to know that you can still feel hope. When life throws you a curveball that you're not prepared for, you want to know that you and your loved ones will be ok. If you're struggling in your relationships, you want to know that you'll be able to work things out. When you're shaking your head and wondering how you got to this point, you want to know how to deal with whatever is going on, now and into the future.

Grounded in experiential and existential orientations, I work to understand the meaning you make of life. I walk with you to help identify purpose, values, and behaviors to live more authentically and deliberately. I foster a supportive, interpersonal therapeutic relationship, and my holistic approach taps into the body's innate wisdom to promote adaptive responses and facilitate healing. By choosing to move through discomfort--a normal and healthy response to life's uncertainties--you expand opportunities for growth. My prior career in business and technology enables me to understand the unique demands of corporate professionals.

Learning to manage life can be a challenge. When complicated by life transitions, performance pressures, chronic health conditions, mental health diagnoses, or a host of other unforeseen obstacles, it is important to seek guidance. I have shared this journey with individuals & families for over 22 years. My clinical training, the use of research supported treatments, such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), & Sports Counseling have allowed me to successfully work with individuals of all ages (children, teens, adults, & geriatrics), athletes, & business professionals who are confronted with a variety of concerns.

I am interested in patients who want to be joyful and content, to cherish their relationships and appreciate the present. Many of us feel pressured, juggling many obligations, believing we need more, more achievements, more things. This "unsatisfactoriness" leads to depression and anxiety. We will suffer less if we appreciate the present more, whether we are caring for children or an aging parent or facing aging ourselves. I am interested in helping people who want to become happier by living in the present and letting go of beliefs that create suffering.

People seek therapy to address long standing challenges they would like to work on or to address specific issues or events which may have recently presented in their lives. I am a LCSW with over 20 years of experience and training working with young and older adults up through the lifespan. I have a general psychotherapy practice with a specialty in trauma, survivors of abuse, grief and loss, loss of children and survivors of suicide. My areas of practice also include helping people deal with depression and anxiety, mood disorders, relationship and family issues, and working through life transitions and challenges.

I have extensive training in DBT(dialectical behavioral therapy), CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), motivational interviewing, interpersonal relationships and substance use. I work with people who struggle with Depression, Borderline Personality Disorder, Substance Use, Family/ Relationship Dysfunction. We can work together through individual, couples, or family therapy sessions. No matter where you are in your journey to wellness I will assist with a solution focused approach.
