What is an LPC?
Licensed Professional Counselors meet educational and training requirements including at least a Master's degree, three years of supervised professional clinical experience and successful completion of a state examination. After receiving licensure, LPCs are required to earn 35 continuing education units bi-annually to maintain their status.
Counselors are regulated by the State of Georgia and accountable to the Georgia Composite Board of Professional Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists and Social Workers. LPCs work with children, adolescents and adults in short or long-term therapy based on clients' needs and in a variety of different settings.
What are your hours?
I see clients between 9 a.m. and as late as 7 p.m. Evening hours are the most popular and therefore not as readily available as morning or afternoon appointments.
What about confidentiality?
Your visits with me are confidential. However, there are certain situations involving abuse, neglect or the intent to harm yourself or others that I am legally obligated to disclose.
Will you be in contact with other professionals involved in my care?
With your permission and agreement I will contact any psychiatrist, doctor, school counselor, teacher etc. that should be involved in your care. I believe it is important that all professionals involved work together to provide the best possible treatment. I will not contact anyone without your written permission.
What is your stance on medication?
Many people seek psychotherapy and would like to avoid medication. They are often successful in doing so. I believe and research supports that many difficulties in living and meaning can be resolved through non-chemical means, On the other hand, there are those who feel strongly that the combination of medication and therapy is right for them. I will talk with you individually and provide input to help you make a decision about the use of medication. I cannot prescribe medication.
