My name is Stephanie Dixon and I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Savannah, GA, and working with clients throughout the state via telehealth. I work with adolescents and adults and specialize in anxiety, mood conditions, life transitions, and stress management.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 5 years of experience providing clinical care to children, adolescents, and adults. I work with individuals facing stress, anxiety, trauma histories, emotional regulation challenges, and strained family relationships. Many clients seek support during major life transitions or want help understanding patterns that keep them feeling stuck. My approach is practical, goal-oriented, and focused on steady progress.
I specialize in working with anyone affected by addiction, family members of addicts, and anyone looking to grow and expand self-awareness. I am a certified addiction counselor. I am a certified brainspotting practitioner, which branches off of a trauma modality known as EMDR. I am a certified experiential specialist. I am an anger resolution specialist. I am also listed on the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) State of Georgia site as a clinical evaluator. Addiction is a disease that often pushes us to go against our morals; this causes uncomfortable emotional states that we tend to want to avoid discussing. To begin healing, we must feel these emotions, and to feel the emotions, we need someone to process them with. I have personally experienced the darkness of addiction in my own life and strive to help people see their light!
Hi there! My name is Eniola Akinsunmi and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have a BA in Psychology from Tuskegee University and a MA in Counseling from Argosy University- Atlanta. My approach is always rooted in meeting where the client is; I create a safe and non-judgmental atmosphere so that the client can feel free to express hisherself. I utilize a person-centered approach to build a rapport with the client and I integrate theoretical approaches that best suit the client's issues. My population of interest is adults. Adulthood comes with a lot of transitions and changes that can be overwhelming, and I believe we humans need help once in a while to overcome hurdles in our lives. I have a passion to help individuals as they are going through life obstacles and I believe a good therapeutic relationship can help them achieve their goals for therapy. I always make sure I communicate effectively and utilize effective active listening skills because I want my client to feel heard. My calm and soft tone with added humor allows my client to feel at ease when they are in sessions with me. The first session is very light; it's the intake session. This is where I get to know you more and you get to know more about my approach.
Hello, I am Glenda Sloan, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and my approach is to provide a safe welcoming environment for clients to express their concerns and hopes for improvement. Requesting help when it is needed is wise and I am excited to journey with you on your pathway to better. My approach is client-centered because your experiences matter. I primarily use Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Reality Therapy but will provide eclectic therapy to meet your needs. I believe that your thoughts, feelings, and actions matter so choosing to change some things will be important as you set goals. Due to the virtual platform, I work most effectively with teenagers, adults, and couples facing relationship conflicts and life crises. If you are feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, heartbroken, or angry with the events in your life, I am here to listen to what happened to you and together we can develop a plan for change. I am a compassionate listener and will not judge. I will offer some other options for your consideration because you will be making the decisions for your life. I believe you deserve to be heard and I offer you the truth gently because words have power. I will encourage you to speak kindly to yourself because love begins with you. I have always wanted to help others feel better and my life's work has done just that in one form or another. I have been counseling for over 20 years and helping those dealing with a life crisis has been the most rewarding experience. Counseling is not a career to me, it is a calling. I believe that each client knows what is needed even if they do not know how to verbalize it so I will listen and use your words to develop a plan for change. Some clients will need more support than others and that will be provided as needed. In our first session, I will be gathering a history from you so there will be many questions and I want you to be open and honest. What you share is confidential and if you are not able to be honest then what are we doing here? Your time with me is important so when we meet we will work to make progress and I frequently give assignments.

I work with variety of issues and I specialize in couple therapy. I use an eclectic approach. My sessions are strictly tailored to the client’s personality, treatment needs, and goals. My focus is to restructure unproductive cognitions that create roadblocks to success and cause my clients to suffer. My extensive training allows me to use a variety of tools and methods that are mostly directed at promoting a healthy self-image and a positive mindset. My work with clients is focused on moving clients from the life they tolerate to the life they want. Informal. I’m funny. I smile and laugh. Many of my clients made comments that I’m easy to talk to and they feel accepted and understood. I listen very carefully to your story so I can show you the solution. Your questions as “why it happened” or “why I think or act this way” will be explained to you. I will educate you how to use the right tools to become the “ideal you”, a person you want to be! Well, it was pretty easy for me. When I was 15 years old I noticed I would gravitate towards reading psychology and psychiatry books that my parents had in their library. One day as I remember clearly I stared at one page of a book I held in my hands and made a decision to become a counselor! My goal is to educate you on how your mind works and what you are subconsciously looking for. I want to show you that therapy can surpass your expectations. I’m here to place you on the road you have been looking for. In the first session, we get to know each other! I pay full attention to listening and doing my observation. I would ask intake questions and gather some information while we discuss the issue you are dealing with.
