Mary Cole, Licensed Professional Counselor

My name is Mary Cole. I am a licensed professional counselor who works with women and men. I help individuals navigate challenging life issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem, and anger management. I also work with people who have experienced domestic and/or emotional abuse by establishing healthy boundaries. I have a master of science in guidance and counseling from the University of West and a bachelor of science in human services and psychology from Clayton State University. I received additional training in emotional conditions and trauma as a part of my post-master's degree program and additional intensive training to become a certified clinical trauma specialist (CCTP) and a certified anger management specialist (CAMS II). I enjoy my work as a therapist, and I believe that having these qualities creates an opportunity to help and truly connect with my clients. This approach helps my client to become part of the therapeutic process and, to feel safe and comfortable throughout the therapy process. The first step to a more fulfilling and happier life is the courage to take the first steps towards a change because seeing the beauty and potential in yourself and life is essential. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

My counseling and communication style is to seek to understand each individual holistically, including their backgrounds and the strengths they already possess to provide an individualized approach.
