I believe my job as a therapist is to help tap into your most authentic self, and walk alongside you with whatever struggles there may be. My approach to therapy is direct, with the use of humor, analogies, and metaphors; I try to bring every thing together to help make sense in a world that can be confusing. Together we can tackle whatever difficult situation may be occurring in your life and get to the other side.
Greeting!
I am a seasoned professional continuing to study and learn the most impactful ways to lessen human suffering and promote self love in all. Beginning my practice decades ago as a combat trauma therapist, I have found myself dealing with the traumas of early life and relationships with most my adolescent and adult clients. I believe counseling can offer many “tools”, to cope, however, I prefer to help people heal so that coping becomes an infrequent need.
As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Therapist and a Christian Life Coach since 2015, I believe change is very possible. I have been a part of Atlanta’s professional community for over 28 years. My education from Mercer University (a CACREP approved school) with additional experience in intensive marriage and family mediation. I interned with Kathy Steele, an expert on complex trauma, dissociation, and other related issues. I focus on person centered therapy and solution focused. I offer cerified EMDR. Divorce and rentering the dating world is something I have spend years in assisting women.
Hey, hey! I am Charletta D. Bourne, licensed professional counselor, speaker and founder of Bourne to Live Counseling and Consulting. Our mission is to inspire the thought, "You were never meant to just survive it, you were born to live!"
I've been a Licensed Professional Counselor for 12 years and have a private office for those who live near my office. I have experience in Christian Counseling, Low Self-esteem, Communication Skills, Coping Skills, Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, ADD, Anger Management, Relationship issues, Substance Abuse, Domestic Violence and see clients ages 6 and up.


Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for therapists in Cumming starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care. A therapist’s profile can also show what sessions may be like, including their style, focus areas, and experience with specific concerns.
In a smaller city like Cumming, local in-person options may be more limited than in nearby areas such as Alpharetta, Buford, Dawsonville, or the broader North Atlanta area. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Georgia. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, therapy approach, and practical fit.
Therapy in Cumming can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, confirm what insurance coverage is available in your area, and view upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
