Hey! I’m Carey, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor here in Georgia. I am a University of Georgia graduate then continued my education at Thomas University. I enjoy working with mostly adolescents and young adults, although I accept adults as well, who may be feeling anxious, depressed, or simply going through a tough time. I view counseling as a partnership where both the client and counselor work together to achieve the goals that the client sets for themselves, and I am always excited and try my best to help those goals come to fruition.
I chose counseling after my own journey, and I always dream of being the counselor that I needed when I was younger and seeking help.

I believe you are the expert in your life—and I’m here to walk alongside you as you reclaim your voice, process past pain, and build the skills you need to move forward.
I hold a master’s degree in counseling and have worked in a variety of settings, including schools, crisis centers, inpatient, and outpatient care. I draw from Attachment Theory, ACT, CBT, Mindfulness, and trauma-informed practices to create a space where healing and lasting change can happen.

I have helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach utilizes Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic, and Rational-Emotive Counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I also use Mindfulness exercises in my counseling.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier 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.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Athens, GA starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Think about the concerns you want to address — whether that's anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or something else — and consider whether you'd prefer a therapist, counselor, or psychiatrist. Therapists and counselors (such as LPCs, LCSWs, and LMFTs) primarily provide talk therapy, while psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication.
From there, practical details matter. Look for a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern and offers appointment times that work for your schedule. Many providers in Athens offer both in-person and virtual sessions, so you can choose the format that fits your life. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.
Therapy in Athens can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your needs and your budget.
