Alissa Darnell, LPC, C-DBT, EMDR - Trained

 

As a therapist, I  have had the opportunity to provide support and encouragement to people  as they face life challenges, and I have assisted them in their  journeys toward growth and wellness. My approach is warm, compassionate,  and genuine, and my focus is holistic, allowing all aspects of your  wellness to be addressed. It is important to me to provide a safe,  non-judgmental environment so you feel comfortable while working through  your areas of concern. Through counseling and education, my passion is  to empower you to be the best version of yourself.

I  foundationally work from CBT and DBT perspectives, and am trained in  EMDR, which is a specialized training addressing trauma and other  concerns. As we work together, I may utilize other techniques to meet  your unique needs. My specialties include trauma, loss, emotional  distress, and relationship issues.

I have  experience working with individuals from various backgrounds, so I am  sensitive to your value and belief systems when helping you accomplish  your goals. A person's transition to wellness through personal growth is  remarkable to observe and it happens every day. I look forward to  meeting you!

Holly Turton, M.Ed., APC, NCC

 

Working with  families, students, & individuals over the years has taught me that  taking the first step in seeking help & guidance can be very  rewarding. I hope to be a source of support in this endeavor. I will be  with you providing guidance as you learn to navigate life & all that  it may hold.  As a professional high school counselor, I have  experience working with countless students encountering a variety of  challenges. Working with students sparked my desire to invest in both  children & adults’ lives on a deeper & more consistent level.  Today, I work at the Counseling For Growth & Wellness practice and  as a high school counselor.
I have  experience in counseling individuals with anxiety & depression. It  has been my joy to to assist them as they develop coping skills that  work for their needs. I enjoy working with families to improve cohesion.  During these sessions, I have taught behavioral skills to the children  & helped the parents explore techniques that work best for their  family.
I operate  from both a CBT and solution-focused perspective. I have found that  these frameworks work wonderfully together to help identify areas in  your life that are causing tension and practical ways of realizing your  true self. Warmth and open-mindedness will always be at the forefront of  my sessions. I would love to help you on your journey to wellness.

Holly Floyd, LMFT, EMDR - Trained, CCTP, TCTSY

 

After receiving invaluable warmth and empathy  during my experience of therapy I knew it was my duty to give back to  others the same compassion. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family  Therapist that has been helping people with mental health diagnoses  ranging from depression & anxiety to PTSD & Bipolar Disorder for  over six years. In addition to individual counseling, I work with  couples, families, and other relational groups to increase harmony and  manage conflict within those systems. 

I  have focused my continued education on interventions and services for  people who have survived trauma. I use an eclectic and collaborative  approach to assist clients with the management of symptoms that follow  trauma and often manifest as PTSD, Acute Stress Disorder, or grief. To  do this I have completed training in EMDR Therapy and am currently in  the process of completing my certification in Trauma Sensitive Yoga. 

For  three years I was the school counselor for the Greene County school  system in Greene County Georgia and I continue to take great pride in  helping children & adolescents with both mental health and  relational struggles.

 

Trauma Sensitive Restorative Yoga: $40/hr

As a means of survival during traumatic events the mind-body connection is severed. This disrupted connection compromises the development of one’s identity, autonomy, and ability to perceive internal sensations (aka interoception).

Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TSY) is a movement-based practice that aims to reconnect and fortify the mind-body connection. TSY does this by using invitational language to create opportunities for choice and creating a safe space for shared authentic experiences. 

Yoga for Neurodivergence: $40/hr

Current  research suggests that there is a correlation between neurodivergent  disorders (ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, etc.) and certain  physiological abnormalities such as joint hypermobility, connective  tissue irregularities, and heightened pain sensations. These physical  maladies often result in the over-use of certain muscles and the under  utilization of others as a way to adapt to the compromised integrity of  the connective tissues. Yoga  for neurodivergence is a class engineered to provide support to over  utilized muscles & strength to those that are underdeveloped, all  while creating a shared authentic experience in a group setting to  facilitate connection & belonging.

Frances Crawford, LMSW, EMDR - Trained

   

Life is a journey and sometimes we need help along the way to understand better and learn effective

coping techniques. In my therapy practice, I aim to help those learn these techniques through listening,

teaching, and coaching.

I have 20 years of experience working with individuals from different walks of life. My goal has always

been first and foremost to establish and cultivate a trusting relationship. Gaining a good understanding

of an individual’s struggles and where they would like assistance is the best place to begin. I utilize DBT

(Dialectical Behavior Therapy) type techniques, Motivational Interviewing, and CBT to help individuals

learn skills to help them cope with daily life, get along with others and manage their emotions. Holding

a safe space for individuals to practice and learn these techniques and process their experiences in the

“outside world” is what leads person to feel comfortable and confident. Most commonly, I work with

people with chronic pain, personality disorders, relationship issues, co-occurring substance use

disorders, depression, and complex trauma.

I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). This intervention is useful for

processing traumatic events and negative beliefs. I am currently under supervision until I obtain my

LCSW. My supervisor is Carrie Stewart, LCSW (GA), LISW-S (OH).

I have been with my husband for 29 years and we have three daughters, a dog and a cat. I have found a

new hobby in “attempting” to garden and love to read and learn.
