Hi, I’m Maria! Thanks for taking the time to view my profile. My friends call me the “accountability” friend. I enjoy helping people meet their goals. I started working in this profession as a one-on-one worker with an Intellectual Developmental youth and family in 1997. Throughout the years I’ve continued my education and became a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in 2019 and a Licensed Certified Addiction Specialist (LCAS) in 2021 after extensive clinical work in an outpatient substance use clinic in North Carolina.

Welcome! I'm glad you're here. Whether you've tried therapy before or you're brand new to the process, taking these first steps can be nerve-wracking. Because of this, I believe that the safe, trusting environment and relationship built between therapist and client is at the core of this work. What’s most important to me is that you feel comfortable being yourself in therapy, and my goal is that you always feel heard, supported, and accepted. Therapy is different for everybody, and I want this process to be unique and personal to you and your needs.

I do not take insurance, I work with couples and individuals who are willing to do whatever it takes to save their marriage or relationship. It is my job to be a co-pilot to help guide you and your partner through the storms of conflict, infidelity, grief, trauma, and life’s transitions such as parenting, employment, and blended family issues. As a fellow relationship partner who has been married for 17 years (and counting) with three kids, I personally can relate to the ups and downs of making a relationship work.

Are you experiencing difficulty in your relationships, engaging in self-sabotoging behavior, feeling paralyzed in your life? You can create change. You don't have to remain anxious, depressed, confused or paralyzed in relationships or in life. Together we can create a safe space for you to feel both understood and empowered. We will work as a partnership exploring the hurdles that prevent growth, and the patterns of behavior that are no longer helpful but difficult to let go of. Together we will lay the foundation for lasting change.

I've been in private practice for 25 years. I blend cognitive, developmental, neurological, and behavioral psychologies and tailor each treatment plan. It doesn't take much to figure out what the problems are. My focus is, "What we do about it?"

We all have had experiences in our lives that have made us feel overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, alone or even broken. These experiences have caused a conflict within ourselves and have expanded to important areas of our lives. Adapting to these feelings is a challenge and reaching out for help is even more challenging. The key to healing, both emotional and psychological, is creating a relationship with ourselves and others that helps foster compassion and hope. Change is a process but taking this journey with someone, in a safe and non-judgmental space, allows for the mind to start the healing process.

I provide individual therapy and family therapy that is person centered and meets the client where they are. The process of counseling is a team effort and I strive to assist (you) my clients with identifying strengths, recognizing supports, developing self-awareness, and accepting accountability I use a variety of approaches (eclectic) to meet the needs of my clients.

Looking for something different? I uniquely combine evidence-based therapy with meditation, breathwork, yoga, and other techniques, like art therapy. I’ve been a licensed therapist since 2007. I create a space where you can be heard and nurtured but also pushed to grow. We'll work together to set realistic therapeutic goals so you can thrive. I love to support teens, college students, & adults, as well as LGBTQIA+, POC, single parents, and other marginalized populations. I offer group for younger kids. Together, we’ll reduce stress, anxiety, and low mood by learning coping skills to increase overall wellness and personal awareness.

I know that making the decision to begin therapy can be difficult, but choosing to do so shows incredible strength and a desire to invest in you. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. With 5 years of experience in mental health, I provide a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. My approach to therapy is CBT, ACT, mindfulness, somatic work and trauma-informed care. I believe that every individual’s journey is unique, and I tailor my methods to fit your specific needs and goals.

Anxiety and perfectionism have you feeling like you can't relax. No one knows the stress you carry because you seem to have it all together. Being driven has led to you being overworked and feeling like you will never be enough. Any time it feels like life is about to fall apart, you have a panic attack. Hi I'm Jeanetta Garrison, a compassionate EMDR trained, anxiety therapist who helps high achieving professionals quiet their inner critic. I will help you break things down, organize the jumbled thoughts, and really understand the anxiety so you can release it and no longer be walled off from the world because of fear.

Sometimes we all feel overwhelmed and need to learn healthier ways to cope. Stress can impact your relationships, work, or your physical wellness. Whether your concern centers around family issues, work or school pressures, relationships, illness, or one of life's many unexpected challenges - we can work together to develop your strengths and coping skills, with the overall goal of you living a life of optimal wellness.

I strive to meet people where they are and create a safe environment where people can process underlying trauma/life-challenge to support more alignment with their intuition/goals. Part of my work with people entails reframing/challenging negative self-talk, helping set realistic short-term goals to aid in accomplishing long-term ones, improving emotion regulation, and developing mindfulness skills. I am an ally in all forms and address people-problems regardless of labels. I enjoy helping LCAS-A, LCAS-R, CADC-A, CADC-R clinicians through virtual weekly supervision groups on Wednesdays at 12pm. Individual supervisions are available.

Relationships can provide the greatest joy yet create emotional pain in our lives. Anxiety, depression, shame, and trauma can be traced to a current or past relationship. Maybe you are in an unhealthy or unfulfilling relationship. Perhaps, you are experiencing a relationship loss due to a divorce or a breakup. Or you may be living with the impact of early childhood trauma/neglect. You also may be single with a longing to be in a relationship. Despite the cause of emotional pain, I believe you can heal and grow. I offer a safe environment where we work collaboratively toward a fulfilling relationship with yourself and others.

Today is the perfect day to begin your journey towards a new life. You are a motivated, intelligent, and compassionate individual, and I understand that anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief might be holding you back. You deserve someone who truly listens and understands you, while also providing thoughtful feedback and guidance. I am here to offer you the empathy, competence, and expertise you need to overcome these challenges. With over 15 years of extensive training and experience, I am dedicated to helping you become the person you aspire to be. Let's take this step together.
