I am a licensed professional counselor in GA with over 7 years of experience working as psychotherapist . In addition I have 15 years of working with individual in active addiction and recovery . I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and career challenges . I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is eclectic and person centered . I believe in treating anyone with respect , empathy, unconditional positive regard, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels or focusing on the diagnosis. My approach is integrative to meet the needs of you the client. Sessions and treatment plan are designed to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes strength ,courage and bravery to seek for a more satisfying and well- chosen life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Shirlonda asks very probing questions. And she was on time for my appointment. She was very polite on the phone and understanding when I needed to make changes with my appointment. I will definitely recommend her to others.
