FINALLY, A PLACE FOR WOMEN. I created Zusha Women’s Counseling so women could have a place where we could discuss our struggle. In the past years, we have been asked to do more but with little support. My goal as a therapist is to address that struggle and provide an environment where we can work as a team to heal. In the past, I have had experience working in inpatient, outpatient and state agencies, where I have served young children to older adults.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Jonesboro, GA provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Jonesboro build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
