Many times when people ask this question, they are needing reassurance that they will be receiving counsel from someone who shares their Christian values. This is especially important to families navigating difficult issues on which they have strong convictions, such as marriage and divorce, sexuality, gender, etc. My approach to counseling, as a Christian, is the same whether my clients are Christians or not - I respect the values of my clients and work to help them clarify how their values can guide them through whatever challenge they are facing. My personal faith is a very important part of my life, and it impacts how I care for my clients; however, I only integrate Christian faith when requested by clients, and even then, I am cautious not to impose my personal beliefs on clients.

For adult individuals, the first appointment is an intake session to discuss your current concerns, gather relevant history, determine your goals for therapy, and assess the goodness of fit between you and your therapist.

For teens, one or both parents attend the first session along with the teen unless the parent requests an initial parent session to provide a more thorough developmental history or to discuss more sensitive concerns or family circumstances.

Virtual sessions are available for clients within the state of Georgia. Virtual sessions are offered through our secure client portal.

Complete the contact form on the website or email us directly and someone will be in touch with you to schedule your intake session. You will then receive access to your secure client portal where you can complete the intake forms and place a card on file before your first session.

It is not uncommon for teens to be resistant to counseling. Usually this is fear from not knowing what to expect, and it often resolves as the first session progresses.

I advise parents that if you have serious concerns about your child’s safety and wellbeing due to dangerous behaviors, it is best to insist that they participate in counseling, but allow them to chose the counselor. You may need to meet with a few counselors to find the one who best connects with your child.

If no major concerns related to safety are present but you believe they are in need of support, you can insist on their attending an intake session and one additional session, but then leave the decision whether or not to continue up to your teen.
