What you need to know

In the United States, counseling is regulated within each state’s jurisdiction. In other words, a counselor provides services within the state(s) they are licensed.

Since I am licensed in Georgia and Tennessee, I provide counseling services only within these two states. My services as a licensed counselor and mental health provider is to treat your mental and emotional wellness.

Whether I’m seeing you as a couple or an individual, therapy can include a billable diagnosis which may qualify for medical insurance benefits. This does require focus on treating your mental health issues as it affects your life and relationships.

Know the distinction between marriage counseling and individual counseling.

  • Marriage Counseling (also referred to as Couples Therapy) – focuses on the health and well-being of the relationship.
  • Individual Counseling – focuses on the health and well-being of the individual.
